Know what; I asked in shock
Everything about you and your life of pretense;
Hello! Hello; I said but the call dropped. I am finished, I have lost him for good. Andrew was a real sweetheart. What do I do; I cried out
3 weeks later
Lizzie; father called
Coming; I said rushing to the door
Father; I screamed in surprise as he played with the car keys.
Baby, where is your mum; dad asked
In the kitchen; mum replied making me swallow my words. As I motioned to go, dad called me back. Your tummy, it's unusual; dad said
What about it; I asked
I asked her the same question earlier; mum chipped in
Mum, dad it's nothing; I said
I just spoke with the doctor concerning your health and he had asked to see you....; I stopped talking as I tried to stop her from falling but it was already late. She staggered, fell backward, and blacked out.
DORA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Doctor how is my daughter; Mrs. Harrison asked
Your daughter's life is at risk. We have to remove the fetus to save her life;
What do you mean doctor;
Your daughter is pregnant;
Daddy, daddy come and hear oh; Mrs. Harrison wailed.
When I regained consciousness mother will not stop interrogating me.
Who got you pregnant; she asked crossing her hand. Mum, I never knew I was pregnant. I just got to hear it from you; I said with a smug look
So, how come you are pregnant? she asked impatiently
If what you said is true, it should be Chris's pregnancy; I replied. She squeezed her face in confusion. I meant it was Chris who got me pregnant;
So you mean all these happened during your proposed courtship; she asked
He said he loved me. I begged him to give me time to think about it but he forced himself on me; I said bursting into tears
He deflowered me; I cried the more. My cry wasn't bringing the desired effect so I made it real. Are you sure? I know Chris and he would never act rashly; she said defending him.
Have your daughter ever lied to you; I said crying the more
I believe you, but I think we have to hear from his side; mother said
Is it worth discussing. Would he admit to r****g me; I asked shaking my head in pity
She folded her hands with mine looked into my face, walked up pacing back and forth.
If he thinks he could repay your father's good by humiliating my daughter I will make sure he pays for it with blood, sweat, and tears; she said. I looked up surprised as I hid my smile in a facade.
The doctor walked to the ward to examine me, he beckoned on my mother to follow him. The fetus has to be flushed. That is the best we can do to save the mother's life. Am afraid if we delay any further it could be tragic. She might find it difficult to conceive again, but not to worry she will be fine. We would do our possible best to treat her; the doctor said
Thank you, doctor; Mrs. Harrison said with a heavy heart.
You may take your leave now;
