Chapter 7

• “Yeah, what are you doing here?” Gloria asks nervously.
• Lia tried to see inside but Gloria block her view with her body and act it was unintentional.
• “That doesn’t matter. Let me visit aunt as I am already here.” She said and tried to push the door but Gloria stopped her again.
• “Doctor is doing some test on her. No visitors allowed for now.” Gloria lied in a hurry.
• But Lia was not a fool.
• She understood Gloria was trying to hide something, and how could she let her win?
• “I will just see her from afar. I won’t disturb the doctor.” She said and try to push herself inside the door but in the nick of time, a person called her.
• “Lia, where did you disappear? Your Doctor was asking for you.” Lia turn around in annoyance but when she noticed David she tried to change her tactics.
• “Oh, David, see who is here. I didn’t meet my cousin for five years, so when I saw her, I couldn’t stop myself from talking to her.” Lia said and walk toward him.
• She wrapped her arm over him intimately and thought David frowned but he didn’t push her away.
• Though Lia knew it was not what David wanted, she was happy seeing her sour face and how he didn’t push him like always.
• Though Gloria has admitted David is no longer her but seeing them so intimate hurt her a lot.
• After all, he was her only love and husband, too.
• His betrayal still pinched her like a needle and cut her heart into million pieces.
• “Gloria, David, won’t you greet each other? Do I need to introduce you now?” Lia said in a joking tone, but it felt like mockery to Gloria.
• But she was not ready to give them the satisfaction of winning after cheating on her, so she took the initiative.
• “Hello, Mr. Collin. Nice to see you.” Gloria said still standing in her face.
• Her indifference didn’t surprise David, but still, it hurt him.
• “Hello, miss white. Nice to see you too.” David said without any emotion.
• “Oh, Gloria, I have an appointment with my gynecologist. Please excuse us. Let's meet some other time.” Lia said and walk out with David.
• “Gynaecologist?” Gloria muttered and noticed their departing back.
• She couldn’t hold her tears and walk inside the room and let them flow freely.
• How she wished her tears could wash out her pain.
• But how could her wound heal when someone constantly pulled it?
• “Mom, why are you crying? Did the doctor scold you?” Daniel’s sweet voice make her come out of her misery and she wiped her tears hurriedly.
• “No, Mom just hit her toes outside.” She tried to cover up.
• “Come here.” Daniel motioned with her hand and she walked toward her and sit beside him.
• Daniel get off his seat and opened her slippers.
• Then she blows in her toes.
• “It won’t hurt anymore. I have blown in it.” Daniel said making her chuckle in tears.
• She pulled him in a tight hug and her all pain run away.
• “It doesn’t matter how much my heart hurt. My son is everything to me. I will protect him.” She promised herself.
• She won’t let those people’s evil shadows fall on his innocence.
• “Let's go. We will come here later.” Gloria got up and take Daniel’s hand to walk out.
• She didn’t want to stay here anymore.
• She can’t afford to bump into David again.
• It won’t take him twice to recognize Daniel as he was the spitting image of him.
• And now when they are starting their family she didn’t want her son to suffer in between his parents.
• It’s better if they never get to know each other.
• Gloria walk out through the back door and left the hospital hurriedly.
• When Mr white noticed them returning so early, he wanted to ask Gloria what happened as her granddaughter liked to spend time with her mother.
• According to Gloria, she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her mother as didn’t want her to feel alone even though she was vegetative.
• But when he noticed her depressed face, he stopped herself.
• “Old man, come here.” He called Daniel and Daniel scoffs at him and walks toward Mrs white.
• “Beautiful, tell oldie I am not old he is old.” He complained, and the couple chuckled.
• Gloria walked upstairs, leaving them behind.
• “Don’t mind him. He has grown old so his eyesight has worsened. That’s why he can’t see my great-grandson is a handsome man.” She said and Daniel humped in arrogance.
• “So what happened to your mom?” he ask calmly when she noticed Gloria has left.
• “Mom said she hit her toes. But I have blown on them. She will be fine soon.” He replied innocently but the couple exchanged a look and Mr white clenched his fist angrily.
• They know who can rile her up in this entire world.
• He was just tolerating them because she didn’t want him to hurt that man.
• Otherwise, he would have disappeared from this city long back.
• “Go and have some rest. I have made some pudding for you. I will bring that to your room.” The lady replied and the boy run up excitedly.
• “Honey, don’t lose your temper. God will surely punish them.” The lady comfort her husband though her heart was bleeding too.
• After what happened that year they have announce Lia was not part of their family, how could they forgive her when she ruined her cousin’s marriage?
• But they did nothing to David because of Gloria.
• But how could they let him take away her peace?
• Didn’t they do enough damage already?
• When will they let her go?
• “Diana, I wanted to kill that bastard with my hand.” Mr white replied with gritted teeth.
• “I know, I also wanted to ask him why he did that to her. My baby. Though she doesn’t let us see what is in her mind, I know she was hurting from inside.” Diana replied and lean on his husband’s arm.
• They had never felt so helpless before.
