CHAPTER 25
TRUTH PART 2
Kristoffe
I'm here now at the coffee shop which is twenty-five minutes away from school to meet tay Victor. I want to seek answers about Lou's welfare. Few minutes later, he arrives here at the VIP room. I just come out the school because I have a three hours' vacant class. "For how long are you working on the Madrigal's?" I asked him seriously. "Three decades, hijo" he answered with a smile. "Is Lou are their biological daughter?" I asked.
"Yes, she is! That's why I can't understand them on how they can hurt their own daughter" he said with a sighed while giving an emphasis on the word 'own'. "What do you mean, tay?" I asked him confused. "Because Loraine is their adopted child. She is a daughter of the best friend of Lou's mother. Then, she gave the child to them and they accepted her whole-heartedly like it's their own child. Yet, they treated their biological child as if she is the adopted one" he said calmly.
"Did Lou know about this?" I asked. "No, because they made it as a secret only their relatives and the housemaids knows about it. Even though her own relatives treated her like a trash while they treated Loraine as a gem of the family. That's why I really pity her for all the hardships she's experiencing. The only relatives that treasure and cherish her, are her grandparents in both sides" he said teary eyed. "Where are her grandparents?" I asked him confused.
"Her grandparents on the mother sides were in France while her grandparents on the father sides were in California" he said. "Did they even know what happen on Lou?" I asked. "No, because they are threatening us including Lou so we can't tell them the truth. That' why when her grandparents are here they are treating Lou like a princess" he said.
"Did you know their address abroad? Can I have their address and contact number?" I asked then he immediately gives me the details that I need. "Tay, Lou tell us everything. Did you make a doctor check-up her condition?" I asked him. "No, because when I ask for help on her parents they just said that she's just acting. They didn't mind the sickness of her daughter and make me leave on their room because I'm a hindrance on their rest. My wife and I are the one who took care of Lou since she's a baby because her real parents don't have a time to take of her. They are so busy handling their business that's why it hurts from us seeing her in pain. We called their family doctor yet he isn't here in the country so we call another doctors but they are so busy on their duty" he said while crying so I hand him a tissue.
"We want to defend her yet they will fire us so who will be the one take care of Lou if we will have to left her. Maybe their parents will hurt her harder though she didn't deserve it. She is a very nice and wonderful kid yet she has to experience a lot hardship" he said while still crying. "She is lucky that she has a very caring friends. Promise me that you will take care of her and please don't leave her alone because she needs a friend to be there for her while she's experiencing a lot of hardship. I know that you have the capability to help her because your family is richer than them" he said with a voice broke.
"You don't tell at us about it, tay because we will help her as long as we can. Don't worry tay we will do everything that we can so that Lou will be out of that house and if the others want to join it will be okay" I said with smile. "Thank you very much hijo because we really want to leave that house with Lou yet we don't know were going to. They are rich and we know that they do everything so they will know where we are. I really can't take it seeing how they hurt my daughter. Our daughter because they never treated her like their own daughter. Even though she isn't our biological daughter yet we love her very much like she's our own daughter" he said while crying.
It hurts seeing him crying in front of me because I can feel his pain and over flowing love for Lou like his true daughter. "Maybe you're the answer to our prayers who can help us. It hurts so much seeing her in pain emotionally and physically yet I can't do anything about it" he said and cry so loudly.
I ask tay to update me on what happen to Lou every time on the house yet he shouldn't be caught. I hired a private investigator to background check her parents and sister, also to know if they are doing illegal things. I'm going to make sure that they will pay big time.
I can't understand what kind of parents are they that they even have the guts to hurt their own daughter. They love their adopted child very much that they even forget their own child. I'm not saying that the adopted shouldn't be love yet the treatment between the own child and the adopted should be fair. That's why I'm impressed with Lou that she didn't take it as bad and she didn't even feel angry at them. Maybe, if it happens to another person they will be rebel and an arrogant person.
She didn't even defend herself from her family and she loves them dearly to keep on hoping that her family will change someday. They need to be punish so they will regret what they did to her. I talk to our family lawyer to consult her case. For now, I will let Lou there while I'm my way to get out of her on that house. I want her to experience a happy family that's why we decided to bring her in our house sometimes. We also plan to bring her on our friends' house so she can feel that she is not alone in this fight and she can hold on us. They need to experience the hardships and pain that she experiences so they will know the feeling of it.
