"But why dad? Why?" I broke in tears having gone through the results, the DNA showed that I was actually his child.
"Lily please I'm very sorry, please, I know it's almost impossible for you to forgive me, but please, I plead that you find a place in your heart to accept me. I swear, ever since I left your mom Susan, I have always been feeling guilty." He went down on his knees pleading with a sorry face. Mrs Vanessa stood beside him, pleading too.
"Lily dear" She said taking my right hand and trying to console me, I've not been in such a condition before, but I feel your pain, you have lived for 13 years without a father while your father did exist, please just forgive him, for my sake."
"For your sake?" If only she knew how I felt about her at the moment. "Weren't you aware that someone was crying a child for him before going ahead to marry him, what kind of wife are you one that can't even give a good advice. My mom is a female like you, did you ever for once try to put yourself in her shoes to know how she might be feeling. And you expect to have children. Oh! how unfair, if only you had adviced him to take responsibility of the child."
"Lily, you won't understand, I didn't want to lose him." Short of words to reply, I cried the more, I remembered my mom, imagining her living a happy life with I and Mr David.
" Why Daddy? I need explanations, you actually wanted me aborted, You didn't even care to find out if my mom removed the baby and how she was faring after doing that, rather you moved on with your life and even had the mind to get married to someone else, did you ever think of the risk of aborting a child, what if she had lost her life, how selfish of you."
"Lily please let's seat and I will explain" He helped me to a seat, Mrs Vanessa sat too.
With my head bowed and my hand on my cheeks I got my ears ready for his explanations.
