Chapter XLII
"What?" Danielle felt like she received another blow to her gut when she heard what Mrs. Leith said. "Uncle is in the hospital?" she repeated.
She called James to tell him what happened and to plead that he take her already. But instead, she was met by bad news on his end.
"I'm sorry, Danielle. But don't worry. This has been happening a lot and he always comes out alright," Mrs. Leith encouraged her. "I just hope that this would be the last time. I am hopeful about his condition. I feel like he's near to recovery."
"Can't I talk to him now?" Danielle really wanted to hear her Uncle's voice.
"You can talk to me instead," the older woman replied.
"I need to leave the Del Fierros, Mrs. Leith," her voice turned into soft sobs. "As soon as possible."
"Did anything go wrong, Danielle?"
"Lucas already got hurt. He was shot, I don't know how he was doing right now," she cried. "I'm scared, I don't know what to do. I-"
"He got shot? How

It was like she could not stop worrying unless she sees that he was okay with her own eyes."Good morning, Dana," Miriam went to her room to wake her up."Good morning, Auntie," she greeted back while yawning."Tabitha and Jio are coming over today," she said while pulling the curtains to let sunlight in. "I know you'd want to see them.""Really?" she asked excitedly. She was busy worrying about Lucas, she forgot about visiting Tabitha.It must be a good thing to see them today.

"Auntie, I'm fine. Why are you crying?" Danielle could not help but be emotional when Tabitha kept sobbing while hugging her.Esther and Jio were still bickering when they left her alone with Tabitha."Dana, since I lost my daughter, it's you who made me whole again. I can't take it if I will also lose you. I wanted to blame Lucas, but the poor boy risked his life to protect you. How could I scold him?" Tabitha laughed a little while pulling away from the hug."You're right, Auntie, Lucas saved me. So don't be mad at him, hmn?""He ought to. He brought you to the city even when this old woman begged him to forget about taking revenge on you.""You did that?" she was surprised."When you last went home, I talked to him because I was so worried about you."The last time? She remembered now, maybe that was why Lucas was so mad at her when they were going back to the city. He even accused her of pulling a drama. That mor

Danielle looked at her injuries in the mirror. Her right arm suffered a long and deep stab wound. And her left shoulder got a shallow wound.The nurse was not able to attack the third time because Levi and the rest were able to stop him.It was also a good thing that the ambulance hadn't left yet. And of course, because there's Dr. Levi, who was quick on his feet to treat her."How are you feeling?" Miriam asked her. Tabitha and Jio left already when they were sure that she was okay.Jane's mother almost had a heart attack when she saw her with blood all over her. Fortunately, she was attended to well."I'm okay, Auntie. Did the nurse say anything?" she had to ask to make sure that it was only her who heard when he called her Danielle Williams."He didn't speak a word," Miriam shook her head.Danie was relieved to hear that. In any case, no one should know who she really was. When she leaves, she wanted them to forget all about her.

"Tomorrow?" Danielle was not sure if she was happy or not.James called her to tell her that he's ready to take her with him."Do you need more time, Danielle?" James asked. "I can give you time until tomorrow night. The impostor Justus will be out of the country until the day after tomorrow.""How do you know about that, Uncle?""I know you will not believe me, but I've gotten in touch with someone loyal to his former boss. He recognized my voice and confirmed positively that I am Justus," James explained. "He said that the Impostor could not get rid of him because he uses him to run the empire. But sooner or later, he would get caught. And if that happens, he would surely be dead.""Can we trust him?""We could take the chance. According to him, the last attempt on you before he went abroad was that paid nurse. When he returns, and you're still with the Del Fierros, it might be too late to get them out of this mess. The Impostor was determ

Miriam just smiled at her as confirmation. Danielle could not believe it. So everyone knew except Lucas? And they just let her believe that they think she forgot who she was?Isn't that embarrassing? She kept pretending to people who knew she was lying."Why did you not tell me?" she couldn't understand why."We did not want to decide for you, Dana. You were not ready. We did not want to push you into a situation that you are not prepared to handle. Besides, it feels good that you're the one who freed yourself, right?" said Marcus.He was right. It was liberating. But she still could not get over the fact that they knew her lies all along.If she only knew, she did not have to carry the burden in her heart for so long. But Marcus was also right, she was not ready."But what about Lucas? Why didn't you tell him?""Dana, we did not go around and tell everybody that you don't have amnesia. We knew because we felt it," Miriam held her han

Three years later..."Where are you, Lucas? I'm about to grow roots here. Are you still coming?" Esther's annoying voice filled the confined space of his car. "Don't you have a watch with you? Okay, let me tell you, it's fifteen minutes after four!""I'm sorry, my lady. Give this poor man another ten minutes, alright?" he chuckled as he pulled over in front of a flower shop to pick up his flowers."Come on, what do you need another ten minutes for, mister? Next time I'm not choosing to come with you. I should have gone with Myr and Levi!""I'm coming. Stop your big mouth, okay? Guys do not like over-talkative girls. You're not going to get yourself a boyfriend if you stay like that," he answered. There was a long pause on the other side of the line after that. "Did I hit home, sweetheart?" he teased."I hate you!" she hissed. "Ten minutes, Lucas. If you dare come later by a fraction of a second, you will allow me to punch you in the face!""
