Chapter 32 & 33 : Confess
Now, all of them were currently in the ward with Liam’s arms crossed under his chest waiting for an answer.
“Listen Liam, we didn’t intend to hide this from Henry and you.” Mr Davies said.
Just then Henry walked in, all eyes landed on him but his eyes didn’t leave Lily as he walked towards them.
“Wait wait guys, don’t tell me what I heard or what you called me for is the truth.. that Lily is..” Henry said.
“It is the truth brother and I think we deserve an explanation from them.” Liam said coldly glaring at his parents.
“Umm, I don’t think we need to be here we will get going now.” Matilda said trying to leave with Emma, Elliot and Steve but Mrs Davies next words got her stopping on her track.
“It’s concerns you Matilda, the most and I don’t know how you will feel after hearing the bitter truth.” Mrs Davies said and Matilda furrowed her brows in confusion.
“What do you mean by that.” Matilda asked.
“I will explain it all.” Mrs Davies and they all listened attentively.
“It all started when….”
<< FLASHBACK TO SOME YEARS AGO>>
Mrs Davies can be seen pregnant as she sat on the couch while her five years old and three years old sons respectively played with their toys.
Suddenly Mr Davies came in to the house angrily.
“Welcome honey, what’s wrong.” Mrs Davies asked as Mr Davies sat beside her.
“I had been in the office all day trying to think of an issue and I don’t know how you will feel after I tell you about it.” Mr Davies said and Mrs Davies squinched her brows.
“What’s that.”
Mr Davies breathe in and out before talking.” I really don’t think you should give this baby.” Mr Davies said and Mrs Davies expression changed.
“What are you saying, do you hear yourself at all. Our baby, my baby, we shouldn’t give it out, you mean we should abort?” Mrs Davies said.
“Listen dear, there’s really some capital failure at work recently as our work had not been given out, so I just think….”
Mr Davies was cut short when Mrs Davies yelled at him.
“Keep quiet young man.” Mrs Davies said.
She called one of the maid and ask her to take the children away.
” So because there is short of capital, you want us to abort. Am seriously not doing that, never.” Mrs Davies yelled at him which got Mr Davies furious.
“Woman, if you know you can’t give in to my idea then you can shift back to your parents house with the baby in you then.” Mr Davies yelled back.
Hearing that, Mrs Davies feared because going back to your parents house even though still married is going to be the society hot topic and her and her family will be disgraced which she doesn’t want.
“Listen honey, please just reconsider. I really can’t abort this child.” Mrs Davies pleaded with tears in her eyes.
“The only option I know that will be satisfied with the both of us is, after the baby is given birth to, she will be dropped to an orphanage.” Mr Davies said.
Mrs Davies not having a choice agreed to that, all she knows is that her daughter will still be alive.
<< Delivery date>>
Mrs Davies put to bed and it’s turns out to be a girl. After the baby was given to them, Mr Davies called someone who will help them dropped it at the orphanage and the person turns out to be Matilda’s father, Mr Miller.
” Please take care of my child, don’t let a scratch be on her at all.” Mrs Davies pleaded.
<< END OF FLASHBACK>>
Lily and almost everyone was in tears After they finished their explanation.
“I did it for our sake dear.” Mr Davies said but instead Lily just keep crying.
“Really mom, Dad. You decided to dump her because there was shortage of money?” Henry asked before he scoffs.
“We had no other choice.” Mrs Davies said crying.
“Wow, Lily was my sister all this while and I didn’t even know. Then tell me how you guys found out she was hospitalized.” Liam said.
“Ever since Lily got out of the orphanage, we have been checking each of her every move. We were relieved when we found out how Matilda saved her and took her in but least did we even know that she is Julius ( Mr Miller) daughter.
“Wow, let’s say this is the reason why Dad didn’t come home since, am not surprised at all what kind of a person he is after all.” Matilda said.
“We are sorry dear, please forgive us and accept us please.” Mr Davies said to crying Lily.
Liam just found himself going towards Lily, he then hugged her as she cried in his arms.
“Please forgive us.” Liam said.
He remembered when he had tried to bully her and he felt sad.
“It’s okay now, that’s in the past. You all have no idea what I went through before Matilda saw me, I had really thought I was an orphan. I forgive you though.” Lily said.
They all engulfed in a family hug as Matilda smiled, she is happy that finally the girl she saved has a family.
“We are sorry for causing you and your Mom discomfort too Matilda, please extend our apologies to her.” Mrs Davies said.
“It’s okay.” Matilda said.
<< Next day>>
They all had to skip school as Lily will be discharged today. Lily chose to go to Matilda’s place instead.
They got to Matilda’s house and Mrs Miller was happy to see Lily as she hugged her.
Matilda had told her everything recently.
“My parents said they would like me to Start staying with them.” Lily said.
“We will all miss you dear.” Mrs Miller said and she hugged her again.
“I just want to spend today with you all before I leave.” Lily said.
“Once my brother comes back from school, we will all go out okay?” Matilda said and she nodded.
They talked with each other for some times before Matilda’s brother arrived and they went out to have some fun.

” It’s okay, how about the police case.”
” They’re working on it and it’s seems he confessed already.” Liam said.

” Wait, do you … umm perhaps have something to say to me?” Matilda asked and Liam squinched his brows.

” What do you mean?” Liam feign ignorance.
” Oh really, listen to me. I don’t wish to make a fool out of my self, so just tell if you love me or not.” Matilda said and Liam glared at her.
He moved closer to her and bent her level, he look into her eyes and Matilda could swear her heart is about to pump out of her chest.
“So you want me to say that I….” Liam said and paused.
“That…that.. what are you… going to say.” Matilda stammered looking nervous and Liam smiled.
“If you want to hear it, then you should come to Star bucks restaurant this evening. I will tell you.” Liam said before walking off smiling.
Matilda released the breath she had been holding, she didn’t even know when she started smiling.
“What’s wrong with me, how and when did I fall for him.” Matilda said before she smiled again.
“Hey hey, what’s going on dear Matilda.” Emma came out of nowhere and Matilda flinched a bit.
“Emma, you scared me.” Matilda said holding her chest.
“Sorry I did, you don’t have to keep hiding okay? He will say it.” Emma said and Matilda glared at her.
“Who will say what.” Matilda said putting her hand in her pocket.
“Liam of course, he will say those three magic words. Don’t bother.” Emma said ruffling Matilda’s hair.

“What!” They exclaimed at once.
“Oliver and Amelia? But why would they do such a thing.” Matilda asked.
” It obvious they did for us.” Liam said.
“Us? But why?” Matilda said.
