I wept as i approached Danica’s ward. Oh! I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.
No way; I couldn’t.
My Danica wasnt my bl©©d. She wasn’t my grandma. How could this have happened? How?
Oh,Kim! When did my daughter turn out this way? How could she be so careless? I had tried my best to bring her up in the best way I could; I had tried my best to be a good mother to her and make her see the light. But she only turned out worst. Why me,,huh? Why my own daughter?
She’s all I have, yet had to turn out to be a monster. How could she even think of stealing someone else’s child and giving her out to be killed? How could she be so cruel?
The tears kept running down,but getting to Danica’s ward, I paused and forced myself to seize the tears. I couldn’t let her see me like this – no way.
I wiped my face completely and making sure there was no trace on my face, I opened the door and walked in.
Oh! Danica, she was right there on the bed- the prince sitting in front of her. I noticed a pale look crept into her face as soon as she saw me.
“G…Granny”, she stuttered and I smiled ruefully and went to her.
“My baby, how’re you feeling?” I cooed, holding her palm.
The prince stood up for me and I sat in his place.
“I’m…I’m fine, granny”, she answered nervously.
I could tell she was looking very worried.
“Oh! Danica, you scared me. Why did you take such risk, huh? You…you told me you were going to work, right? Why did you lie to me?”
She lowered her gaze and didn’t say a word, guilt and fear reflecting on her face.
In the course of the silence, for a while, I had thought of telling her that truth – telling her I wasn’t even her real family. But was I really ready for it? Was I ready to lose her? She was the missing disciple; giving her out might expose her and put her in more danger.
When I heard Richard had taken her out for sale, I was angry and needed her back. And to make it worst, the royal family – being so ev1l – killed him as soon as he handed the baby to them.
Well, yes. That was what they do. Anyone that takes a child to them ends up being killed without getting a dime and that’s the reason I hate them so much. They are all liars and deceivers.
Richard had gone to sell Danica, but didn’t return and when I found out about it, I vowed to take her away from them. That night, I had risked my life trying to steal her from the palace and since then, Danica’s been like a daughter to me. I protected het with everything I had. How could I possibly lose her now?
I bent my head and wept and she became surprised.
“Granny, I’m…I’m sorry. I’m sorry for making you cry. I’m sorry for disobeying you. I didn’t want to….”
“Oh,,Danica. Its okay. It’s fine”. I sniffed.
“I promise, granny, I’ll be fine. I’m getting better already. Please, don’t be mad at me. I’m sorry”.
“I told you not to worry about it, Danica. I’m not mad at you”. I clutched her hand tight in mine.
Oh God! This girl should’ve been with someone else – with her true family. She should’ve had a luxurious life, not this threatened one. How could Kim be so heartless, huh?
More tears pricked my eyes, but I fought them back.
I simply can’t lose her;I can’t just give her back. It might….it might endanger her life the more.
The most important thing for her at the moment was leaving the city. Yes, that was just it – she needed to leave the city. She shouldn’t be in the same place with her enemies. And I’ll help her achieve that – exactly.
I’ll help her stay safe. I already have some savings with me and as soon as she’s discharged from here, I’m taking her out of the city – somewhere very far from here.

Nathan
I watched as the mother and child had a heart – felting moment and somehow, I felt bad and guilty.
Danica was in this condition because of me. And I don’t know, but I actually had a feeling whoever had done it was after me, and not her.
Countlesely, I’ve almost been killed and don’t think this should be something new to me. I somehow, had a feeling the bullet was meant for me and not her.
I was still in thoughts when my phone beeped with a message and when I opened it, it was from Mabel:
“Nathan, where are you?
Eric was attacked and is at the hospital right now. You need to come home”.
Wait….what?

Nurse Emma
After escorting the woman to the ward, I walked away,,going to a quiet place to stay.
What argument was she having with her daughter? And what did her daughter mean by there was a switch between her child and that of Maya’s?
Well, Maya was actually a close friend of mine and I was wondering if it was just a coincidence because Williams’ name was involved as well and Williams was Maya’s husband. Could it just be a coincidence?
And earlier today…I was aware the blood group of the lady in question was different from her parents. Again, could it just be a coincidence?
I scoffed and thought for a while.
Maybe….there was no harm in being sure.
I reached for my phone and going through my call logs, I searched for Maya’s number.
