Chapter 41: Daisy's past

Chris:

,,How did you treat our daughter? How? How did you even allow yourself to hurt her like this? Lock her in the basement. Sell her like she was some kind of trash?,," I screamed at her and pulled her out. She looked at me with a malicious and disgusting look.

,,Our daughter? You haven't been with her for years, so what do you want now?,,"

,,Because you didn't give me the chance to be with her, to take care of her and raise her. Daisy is my daughter! You put her in an orphanage and then took her away,,"

,,And what did you think? That I would leave her to you? That bitch deserved it. If she hadn't been born, none of this would have happened,,"

,,Are you even listening? Daisy didn't ask about this world Lily! She's my daughter. My only daughter and I won't let anyone hurt her,"

,,Oo.. How protective are you all of a sudden. Are you crazy? Do you think she'll be happy when she finds out you're her father? A father who didn't care about her for years, who didn't give a damn about her,"

,,You took her from me. You took her from me cruelly! You'll regret this Lily. I swear! I'll put you in jail. You and that man of yours. No one will hurt my daughter, least of all you. I loathe you. You're disgusting to me,"

,,Before I go to jail, you'll be underground. You and your wonderful daughter. You're just another poor Chris and she's just like you,"

,,Get out. Get out right now! You're off limits and don't even come near my daughter. Don't even try! I will get her. I will get her but you will pay for this incredible deception. I swear to you,"

"What do you mean. You will both end up underground. Both you and your wonderful daughter. I swear to you," she screamed loudly and walked away. I took my cell phone and called my mom.

"Chris? Did something happen?" she asked me and immediately picked it up

"Mom.. I.. I found her. I found my daughter. She is here.. In the hospital where I work. I operated on her several times and I had no idea she was my daughter," I whispered in a broken voice and sat down on a bench.

"But are you sure about that? How did you find her? And why is she in the hospital?"

"Lily confessed to me. Liam found her. She lived with him for a while and basically still lives with him and she was paralyzed, so we operated on her some time ago. I had no idea she was my daughter. I found her. Found her,"

"We'll take the next plane to London," she said and hung up. Liam came to me. He looked at me and sat down on the bench next to me.

"Daisy fell asleep. How are you feeling, Chris? After that information,"

"I'm sad but also happy. I found her but she doesn't know I'm her father. I wasn't there for her when she needed me the most. I wasn't there for her when she was abused, hurt, raped,"

"I can imagine how you feel but luckily Daisy is okay. She told me things that really worried me. She told me that Lily and Mark are capable of murder,"

,,She was also afraid of me, but I'm not afraid of her. And I certainly won't let them hurt her," I whispered and grabbed my hair

,,I won't let that happen either. There's security in the entire building where I live and I also have a very well-secured alarm. Try to build some kind of relationship with her. At least to start with,"

,,So I'd like to go to her now and say: I'm your father,"

,,I know you'd like to, but you have to be very careful with Daisy. Daisy is a very delicate and also fragile person. You have to be very careful with her and very slow. She's safe with me," he said

,,Take great care of her, Liam. Please. She's my only daughter and I wouldn't bear it if anything happened to her,"

,,She's safe with me. Don't worry. Try talking to her like a friend and not a father. Try to build a relationship with her and then when the time is right, tell her. Daisy really wants to find her father. She wants to know what he's like. But she has no idea that her father has operated on her several times. She has no idea that her father saved her,"

,,How.. How is Liam?,,"

,,Daisy is a very strong woman. I thought she would cry but she was strong. She told me that the words didn't hurt her anymore. But she's afraid for her life. She thinks they're trying to kill her. I want to take her home tomorrow. I have to rehabilitate her but your door is always open. Come see her anytime. She'll be happy. She loves you,"

,,I testified for her in court, Liam. She had serious pneumonia, I was putting her together.. We operated on her so many times and I had no idea she was my daughter,"

,,Chris.. You couldn't have known. None of us knew. If you tell her one day, she won't hate you. She really wants to find her father. She wants to know what he's like. She wants to know if he loves her,"

,,I adore her more than my life," I said, tears streaming down my face. I wiped them away.

,,She loves you but she doesn't know you're her father. Try to build some kind of relationship with her. I'm glad I uncovered her past, at least a little. But I think that's not all. Daisy has a lot of secrets, a lot of everything that happened in that damn house where she lived,"

,,Didn't she tell you everything?,,"

,,I don't think that's even close to everything Chris. Something happened in that house, in her life that's destroying her, that's giving her nightmares. What they did to her was something terrible. But gradually I'll reveal her whole past, her whole childhood. This isn't everything Chris. Daisy hides a lot of secrets,"

,,Maybe she'll tell you. She's very attached to you Liam,"

,,Chris won't tell me. It's something she's terribly afraid of. Something her grandmother didn't tell me. Something terrible must have happened in that house. Something that's destroying her every day. Where Daisy comes from is revealed but it still remains to be found out what happened in that house? Who are Mark Fly and Lily. Are they capable of murder? Daisy is hiding something that she's afraid of. What he's incredibly afraid of and can't tell me. But I'll find out for myself,"
