"Excuse me. Please who are you to touch me that way?!."
Ronald halted in his tracks. His gaze went to where Aurora laid peacefully on her shoulders. She had never let anyone carry her that long. She had always had trouble sleeping for months. Who was this lady to make her this way?
"Where did you get her from?."
Miah stared at him as if he was crazy. " You should answer my question first. Who are you to touch me that way?!."
Ronald took two steps backwards. "I am sorry for that. I was just paranoid as I have looked for her all over without no results. I am truly sorry at that. I am her father. Her name is Aurora."
Miah rolled her eyes. She wasn't sure he could be telling the truth. She had watched too many movies of this. And whose father would let his daughter wander away?
Probably the way he dressed spoke loud volumes about how careless he could be.
Ronald traced her gaze to what he wore. Could she be thinking he was a kidnapper or what?. He had warned Timmy about this dress code. He never wanted to hide his identity for no reason. Why should he even do that?
Maybe that's why she was reluctant or could she not know him. Who in Texas doesn't know him though?
"I need an evidence that you are her father or else I can't give you this child."
Ronald took a deep sigh. This lady was beginning to get on his nerves and he doesn't like it.
"Why would I come take a child that isn't mine?. Are you really serious about this?. Give me my child and never let us cross paths again!."
Miah shifted. This man here sure has some temper in him. Aurora made a sound and slowly opened her eyes.
Her head up, she saw her dad.
"Dad?." She said, groggily.
"What did you just say?." Miah asked. She was sure she heard what she said. Her gaze somewhere else, she didn't want him giving her the "I told you" look.
"Can you give her to me now?." He stretched his hands open.
Aurora clung to Miah. " Dad, I want to stay with her. I want her. I want my Mama."
Ronald thought he heard her wrong. Had Timmy been building some thoughts in her head?
"Baby, she isn't your Mama and you can't stay with her. We don't know her. Who knows she...?"
Miah scoffed. "I might be one of those child traffickers, right?. I have had enough of this!, "She faced Aurora."Little girl, your father wants to go home with you and I have lots of things to do today than to deal with this, so go home with him now. We don't know each other anyway."
Aurora looked at Miah and tears began to fall off her eyes. "I want my Mama. I want my Mama."
She began to sob loudly and her body began to shake terribly.
"Aurora!. Aurora!. Mama will follow us, okay?. Please!."
Miah watched as the man who appeared fierce to her now changed in a sudden with his eyes filled with unspoken emotions.
What went wrong with this family?
"Can you please hold on to her while I bring the car around?. I will be back in no time?."
Miah watched as he ran off. She took a glance at Aurora who held her tightly.
"Aurora, I am not your Mama. Why are you doing this?."
She came to clear her head off here, not be tangled up in a web of family issues again.
"You are my Mama and I want to stay with you."
With that, she shut her eyes in sudden.
"Aurora!. Aurora!."

"Mr Ronald, I will strongly suggest that you keep that woman very close to Aurora if not all the time. She is traumatized by Mirabel's sudden leave and that has tampered with her reasoning. If you don't want to lose her, you should know what to do." The doctor said.
Ronald bit his lips. This was his gain for trusting and getting married to his first love. She could have never just left anything of her with him. But he was grateful she left him his own, how would he have survived without his little one?
Touching her gently, a bitter smile crossed his lips.
"I will do everything I can to ensure you get to live well. Just be strong for me, okay?."
He placed a kiss on her forehead and walked out.
It was time to deal with that lady downstairs.
"Why do I feel like I am being imprisoned against my own Accord?."
"Miss..."
"Miah is the name." She blurted.
"I am sure no one actually forced you into my house. You came in by yourself, so will you stop acting like I kidn*pped you to be here?."
"Well, young man, this is how it looks like to me?. I came around her to have a clear head but it seems impossible already."
She minced her words gently. She didn't want to speak against his daughter. Who knows if she might walk alive out of here?.
"I am sure the doctor has spoken to you already."
"About what exactly?. See, let me make things straight here. I am not interested in whatsoever you want to say here. Just get the door open and let me walk out."
"You've not even heard what I want to say yet, " Ronald clenched his fists. He would never have had to restrain his words if his daughter hadn't clung to her. He had to speak in a gentle way. He had to. " Anyways, I have an offer for you. My boys had a check on you and I discovered you are working with Madam Gianne. Well, I am not here to pry into your private affairs but I need you to stay with my daughter for five months because after that, she would be taken away from here.
So pending on when she would leave here, you would be staying with her and these are the benefits attached to this deal."
He took a file before and threw it to her.
Reluctantly Miah opened it and her eyes widened.
