*End OF The Flashback*
(Author’s POV)
"My own sister~ ... she betrayed me, in the worst possible way," Amy spat out those words, her voice was now choked.
The sound of the machine’s beeping and Amy’s broken sobs filled the entire room. Myra glanced at their interconnected hands. She didn’t know how or when, but she had held onto Amy’s hands unconsciously at some point. She could feel her body shaking.
So far, from what Myra has heard and understood, Amy met the person~ ... ’the sperm provider’ during her high school days, fell in love with him. They became intimate, which then led her to an unexpected, young pregnancy. She didn’t want to give birth to the baby, a.k.a. Myra, which, as a woman myself, Myra could totally understand.
But what she couldn’t wrap her head around was why Amy gave birth then? What were the circumstances? She wanted to know~ ... but right now~ ... seeing Amy in such a hysterical state, Myra just couldn’t bring herself to utter anything.
Her mind was already filled with complicated thoughts. There was one more thing that had struck her~ .... The names~ ... Lia and Denver~ ... the ones she had seen in her dreams. ’So, it wasn’t just some random dream. It was a fragment of Amy’s memories. But how was I able to see that? I don’t know.’ It was a mystery for her.
To comfort Amy, Myra leaned forward. The movement made her body ache slightly. Still, she leaned and rubbed Amy’s back soothingly, without uttering a word.
In that moment, she probably couldn’t tell Amy that everything would be alright. Or everything is alright. She couldn’t pretend that she was not hurt at all. She still hasn’t heard the full extent of the story.
After a while, Amy’s sobs quietened as she pulled away. Her stained cheek, her now dry eyes~ .... she wanted to say more, but Myra was the one who broke the silence and said, "Maybe we can talk about this later. When you are okay." She didn’t want to stress Amy out. Her own health wasn’t that good either.
Amy shook her head and muttered, "No~ ... I will tell you everything. I am sorry, I haven’t talked about this to anyone for a long while. I just~ ...," she squeezed Myra’s hand, and Myra squeezed it back.
"My mom asked, ’Is what Vienna told us true? Are you really~ ... pregnant with~ ....’ I didn’t let her complete and said, ’Mom~ ... I can explain~ ... I~ ...’ She didn’t give me any chance to say afterwards, just strutted towards me and stuck me hard. She had never even touched me like that, so I wasn’t expecting she would hit me so mercilessly. My dad rushed in my direction, and I thought he would at least understand, but he asked my mom to calm down. He looked at me with clear disgust in his eyes. I knew they would be shocked and angry, but I never thought they would be repulsed by me. I didn’t commit a crime. My mom~ .... she cried, telling me~ ... that I was a disappointment and what I have done is beyond repair. She refused to acknowledge me as her daughter and even refused to see my face, ever. I was hurt~ ... I never thought that this would lead to such a reaction. The people who loved me all my life had turned their backs on me. Dad didn’t say anything to me directly, but I could tell he shared the same sentiment as hers. Lucas too~ ... his eyes were full of contempt and accusations."
"Just like that~ ... overnight, I was thrown out of my house. No one gave me any chance to listen, to explain. They just declared I was dirty and cheap. With no choice, I went to Denver’s place. He took me in without question. As for his parents, he told me they had gone overseas for his mother’s treatment. That they knew about my situation and had no problem."
"In all those months, he took care of me like a baby. He didn’t let me suffer at all; he was always there for me at every turn, every obstacle. But when I tried to rejoin school, he said no~ ... that it wasn’t ideal. That it would be too exhausting."
But he never told me the real reason.
