Chapter 43: I love her

,,This is Daisy. A bit stubborn," I said and sat down on a chair in the office.

"What's on Liam's face? That scar," his mother asked me

"Mark did that to her. She's very ashamed of what's on her face. I tell her every day that she's beautiful, despite what's on her face. Daisy doesn't even know that I found her father,"

"She should know,"

"I know she did, but not now. She hasn't built any relationship with him. It would be a mistake to tell her now. She's very sensitive and delicate,"

Daisy:

"You should listen to Liam. He doesn't mean you any harm. That surgery was very difficult, Daisy. You collapsed a few times. Your heart failed," Chris said and looked at me. I lay down on the bed.

"I'll never be okay again, will I? I have a weak heart,"

"You'll be okay. Don't worry. You can live with what you have. You just have to be frugal. Don't smoke, drink or do drugs,"

"How do you know my mother?" I asked him and he turned completely pale.

"That's a long time,"

"I have time. Liam is in a meeting. Tell me. How do you know her?"

"I went to school with her, Daisy. I knew her for many years. I know your grandmother too. Then she disappeared for a few years and I didn't see her for a very, very long time. I didn't know you were her daughter,"

"But she didn't treat you the best.  Why?,,"

,,I was dating her and then she dumped me. It was quite painful for me, seeing her again. I didn't know she had a daughter. I didn't know you were her daughter and I especially didn't know how she treated you,,"

,,She was always cruel. Too cruel. Liam helped me a lot,,"

,,Liam never talks about anything but you. He loves you very much Daisy,," Chris said and smiled.

,,Liam is an amazing man. He has helped me so many times. I am very grateful to him for everything. To both of you. You both saved my life,," I whispered

,,Relax Daisy. Try to rest. You are going home tomorrow,,"

Liam:

Chris came into my office and looked at me.

"She fell asleep," he said and sat down on a chair.

"I wanted to leave you alone Chris. You should build some kind of relationship with her. She's your daughter after all," I said and smiled.

"I still can't believe it Liam. My daughter, who I haven't seen in so long. My daughter, who Lily put in an orphanage right after she was born. She had everything perfectly planned out,"

"Daisy will understand one day. It's not your fault that you haven't had her with you for years, Chris. It's Lily's fault. She took her away from you for a really, really long time. But what she didn't count on was that you'd meet her and find out,"

"They hurt her a lot, Liam.  If it weren't for you, it would have continued,"

"I met Daisy this morning. She fell into my arms. I saw with my own eyes how Mark beat her and how he took her apartment keys. I couldn't leave her there. Despite everything, she was proud and didn't want to accept my help. Unfortunately, her medical license was taken away for several years. That makes her angry," I said

"One beautiful day I'll tell her everything, Liam. Absolutely everything. Right now I just want to be with her," he said and someone knocked. It was Amanda again.

"The test results, Liam. Gynecology. Look at this," she said and walked away. I picked it up.

"Oh my God. How am I going to tell her this?" I whispered

"What's up Liam? How did the results come out?" Chris asked me

"She's had an ovary removed. She's had an abortion.  They scraped out her fetus, very brutally. It says there's a 90 percent chance she won't be able to get pregnant again. If I tell her this, if I tell her this, it'll break her so much,"

,,Liam. But this doesn't mean anything. I know it says there's a 90 percent chance she won't be able to get pregnant again but... she can stay pregnant. You can get pregnant with one ovary, but the pregnancy would be risky,"

,,Daisy told me she was forced to have an abortion. She wasn't expecting James's baby, she was expecting Mark's. That bastard raped her. And that's probably when they took out her ovary,"

,,He's a bastard. Look at all they've done to her and how much they've hurt her. He's still running around free. He's safe. Because I've bribed cops and prosecutors," Chris shouted

,,One day he'll pay for it and one day he'll get everything back. I assure you of that.  It hurts me to say this, but James will pay for it too,"

"He's your son, Liam,"

"And that's why I have to tolerate everything Chris does to him? Look at the damage he's done and the immense pain he's caused her. I still don't think James is my son,"

"Liam. How can you doubt something like that? That James is your son?" Chris asked me, raising an eyebrow. I looked at the picture of him I had in my office.

"Because Chris doesn't look like me. He has nothing of me. Absolutely nothing. The character. I don't think he's my son. Becky said I had to send her money every month. The more successful I was, the more she wanted it. He's not my son and I'm going to find out. I'm going to find out and when I do, she's going to pay me for it,"

"What are you going to do if he's not your son?" he asked me

"I don't know. I always wanted a child. I wanted a daughter to run around the house with. If I'm right and I know I have one, she's going to pay me dearly for it," I said

"What about Daisy? I know you like her. You love her. We've talked about it so many times and I didn't know she was my daughter,"

"I really like Daisy, Chris. I love her. I liked her the moment I saw her. I know she's younger than me. I know she dated James. I know she's your daughter but I can't give her up. I can't. Daisy has grown very close to my heart,"

"She likes you too. More than that. She spoke very nicely of you today. You both should admit to each other how you feel about each other, despite the fact that she dated James," he said and smiled
