Her Redemption

Chapter 6

Arriving at the old mansion I saw mum looking devastated, "mommy, daddy" I muttered as I walked over to them, "you finally came to see us, unreliable son" mum scolded, "I was busy with the company mom, did you get the car number that will help with the investigation?" she sighed and sat down on a couch. "Son it all happened so fast I barely knew what was going on, I only saw one pregnant woman lying flat on the floor with her belly" I creased my brow thinking about how fast it happened, I guess it's planned, I thought while patting my thigh "the woman who saved you, did you contact her family?"

  "No, she's still in a coma, I would like her to stay with us until she recovers" she countered.

  "Mom, you can't let a stranger come into the house because she saved you" I rejected the idea but mum insisted, "she's staying with us it's final" I shrugged my shoulders and got up to leave, "stop! Ain't you going to the hospital with your dad and me?"  She inquired with a raised brow, "No mum, I'm going back to the office I have important work to finish" I affirmed and left the house, "find the information of the lady that saved mum" I notified my assistant, he nodded and left to do his job, the driver took me to the company where I went through the files sent to my table as the new CEO, I returned to my apartment after putting things in square.

  I saw myself wandering in the dark, "where am I?"  I uttered trying to get into the tiny bit of light, but all of a sudden I saw my mom smile and reach out to me, I tried to grab her hand but something kept drawing me back, "mom!"  I shouted with my eyes wide open in an unfamiliar environment, "finally you're up" a man in his forties with an AED in his hands muttered, I looked at my stomach and found it to be flat,  "what's going on doctor, where's my child?" I hit him with several questions, "your daughter is in the NICU, you just came out of a coma" he explained, I breathed in relief and relaxed on the bed. The doctor did a series of tests on me before he left. The incident that happened occurred to me. Is that woman fine? I should probably ask the doctor "excuse me, doctor, was there a lady with me, how is she?"

  "Your mother, she is perfectly fine, she went out a few moments ago to get some baby's outfits"  I nodded wondering why he called her my mom.  I picked up my phone and saw many calls from Bett, I decided to call her back "hey Haze, I thought something happened to you" came her worried voice immediately the call connected I told her everything, "what hospital are you in, I'm coming over," she asserted, "don't bother Betty, I'm perfectly fine, I'm just afraid you will leave your boutique unattended"  she gave up after a lot of persuasions, but still insisted on coming to my new apartment, I accepted and dropped the call a click on the door caught my attention "hey dear" a beautiful lady approached me smiling, "I'm glad you're up, I don't know what I would do something happened to you" she sat down next to me, my gaze was on her thinking of how much she had changed since the day I saved her.

"You don't recognize me?  Oh, my god, has she lost her memory" she gave a panicked expression, "ma'am, of course, I recalled you" I mumbled, she smiled with a sigh of relief

"So you have this fruit I'll take you to see your daughter later" I nodded and took the apple obediently.

  I was taken to the NICU to see my daughter "she's your daughter" she brought me to my daughter's crib, I laughed with a teardrop falling from my eyes I couldn't believe that I delivered such an adorable baby, I carried the baby in my arm and saw a name tag on it "Liana" I mumbled as I wandered my hand over the tag, "I hope you don't mind, while you were in a coma I came up with the name, you can change if you want" she laughed politely.

"It's nice ma'am, perfect for my cute baby" I asserted and left the NICU after spending time with my daughter, going back to my ward, she grabbed my hand "what about the father and your parents won't you call them?"  she inquired.

  "She only has me, no father, my father just recovered from heart surgery, I don't want him to have another shock from his daughter being knocked out by an unknown man" I blurted out after a deep thought.

"Won't he be worried for haven't seen you for a long time"

  "Absolutely, I'm here to continue my studies and find a job to help my family now that I have given birth, I will continue my studies" she nodded in agreement, "I wish for you and Liana to stay with my husband and me in our mansion, we have been alone for a long time" she muttered convincingly, I accepted after a lot of thought, aunt can take care of Liana while I go to school.

  Liana and I got out of the hospital, Aunt Helen and her husband Samuel took us to their home and made me feel like one of their own. A year later I started school in one of the elite colleges leaving Liana in the care of her grandmother Helen.

  Years later, after graduating from college, I applied to work as an intern at many companies in California, but few called me for an interview.  Today I have an interview with the King's Enterprise, one of the biggest fashion industries with a lot of fashion designers, "have some breakfast before you go" Aunt Helen mumbled.

"No aunt, I'm late for my interview I'm going to eat out" I pecked her and walked over to my daughter, "Liana, take care of grandma, mom is going for a job-hunting" she giggled,

"I wish good fortune to mom "I embraced her and left with my resume.
