Chapter 30: Argument with Becky

Liam:

I was really pissed off. We argued right in front of Daisy. It must have been very uncomfortable for her.

"I didn't give him anything? Are you listening Becky? Who bought him a new car? Who bought him an apartment? Who paid for his most expensive University in London? You, perhaps? Me! And it all came from my money and what did he do? He dropped out of school. He simply dropped her. A girl went blind because of him and Daisy wanted to erase her from this world. Where are your eyes? And you know what I think? That James is not my son,"

"How dare you tell me this? How?",

"Because it's true! He has nothing of me. His character and his behavior. He doesn't even look like me. He's not my son!  "It's not," I screamed loudly and slammed the table. Daisy looked at me.

"You're saying that because of her, right? You want her,"

"Even if I wanted her. It's none of your business and get out now. Get out now," I screamed loudly

"You're going to regret this Liam. I swear. James is your son,"

"Get out Becky. I'm telling you this for the last time,"

"She's a slut. Can't you see it Liam? She's playing with you. She's playing with your feelings. She'd like to get you into bed for money but if you wanted it, it's you and me," she said. I looked at Daisy. There were tears in her eyes.

"There's no you and me Becky. Even if you were the last woman on this earth, I would never go back to you.  Do you understand me?,,"

,,You're just a weakling Liam. Can't you see what she is like? You don't give your son anything and she does? How much have you already paid for her? How much?,,"

,,Enough Becky! Really enough! I didn't give James anything? Really? Who paid for all of this? I paid for his university education so he could become a doctor, he just gave up. I bought him a new apartment, a new car. Do you appreciate it? No. He kidnapped her to get rid of her. He's still waiting for money from me, but after I found out, he won't get a single cent from me. Do you understand me? I'd rather give all my assets to charity, but he won't see a cent of my money. And next, I'll get a DNA test done,,"

,,Wait a minute. You can't do this Liam,,"

,,Why shouldn't I help? I don't think he's my son and I want to confirm it.  When I find out that James is not my son, you will pay me for this. I swear to you, and get out now. Now," I screamed loudly

"You will regret this Liam. I swear you will regret this and cruelly,"

"Don't threaten me Becky! You don't know what I am. You don't know what I am capable of. A monster like James can't be my son. Are you still blind? For how long? Every day he had a different one. Every day he changed women. He even beat one girl and she went blind. He wanted to disconnect Daisy from the devices. He wanted to kill her,"

"Our son is going to get married. He is going to get married to Zoe," she said. Daisy shook her head and looked away.

"He is going to get married to the same person as himself. You always wanted James to marry a woman who is rich. You succeeded. Do you know why Daisy is here?  James made sure her parents threw her out of the house,"

"They threw her out of the house because she's not their daughter. Because Mark isn't her father. That's why! And I hope she never finds her biological father," she screamed. Daisy looked at me with fear in her eyes

"You know what, Becky? Every day I wonder how I could have been so blind. I thought James was completely different. Only now have I found out the real truth about him. I found out what he is and what he does. I ask you to leave this apartment immediately and never come here again. Now, Becky! Otherwise, I'll call security," I said and took my cell phone

"You're going to regret this, Liam. I swear! James is your son and all your property belongs to him," she screamed and immediately walked away. Daisy grabbed her hair.

"This is not right.  James is your son and I don't belong in your life," she whispered in a weak voice and looked at me.

"Stop it. You belong in my life Daisy. I'll make sure that James is my son," I said and hugged her. I put my hand in her hair and smiled.

"I'm going to operate on you in a few days Daisy. You'll be able to walk again but it's going to be a long road. It won't be right away. You'll have to rehabilitate but I believe that one day you'll be able to walk again," I said and smiled.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me,"

"Don't thank me.. You'll thank me later Daisy.. I just want you to be okay. I want to see a smile on your face again. When your surgery goes well, I'll try to find your father.  There must be some records or documents about all this," I said. But I had a hunch who her father was.

"I would so much like to see him. I would like to know who my father is. What he looks like. Did I inherit anything from him? My mother told me when I was there that he was a doctor. Do you happen to know him?"

"No, Daisy. I don't know of anyone who has a daughter who can't find her. But I'll try to find out, okay? Your life will gradually come together. You'll see," I said, pushing her hair back from her face.

"Will you take those tubes off?"

"I will.. But you have to eat. Daisy, you have to eat normally so I can operate on you. Look at yourself. You're completely skinny. You haven't eaten anything in days. You have to eat something,"

"I'm really not hungry,"

"Stop it. Don't even tell me this, okay? You're completely skinny. I can see skin and bone on you. Only after you eat this will I take this off,"

"Okay,"

"I'll bring some fruit. I won't force you to eat if you don't want to."  But you could eat some fruit Daisy," I said and went to the kitchen. I picked up bananas and oranges too. I sat down next to her and looked at her.

,,Yeah.. At least one banana. If you want to make me happy, you'll have at least one. What do you think?,,"

,,Okay Liam. But just one," she muttered and took off the peel. She looked at me and smiled.

If Chris is your father, how do I tell you? How do I tell you, both of you? My best friend might be the father of the woman I love..
