Andrew kept staring surprisedly at her, he couldn't believe how time flies. He moved closer to her and held her hands. "Andrew".She called happily and rushed into his arms. "It's you". "I am so happy to see you again Isadora".He caressed her in his arms. "Wow, Aunt, I didn't know Andrew was such a handsome man". Emily said in a whisper. "Yes, he is".She said and they continued to stare at the two of them. "You have grown up so big".He pulled away from her and caressed her face. "You look so beautiful".He said. "Thank you, I guess you look so handsome too". "Why not check it out".He said and Isadora moved her hands around his face for a while. "Wow, you are handsome".She said smiling. "Thank you".He smiled and pulled her into his arms again. "I miss you". "Me too". After a while of hugging. "Meet Emily, my best friend".She said. "Nice to meet you, Emily".Andrew said.

Isadora was finding a way to get up when suddenly she felt a hand pull her up holding tight to her shoulders. "How dare you show your face here!?".Liam yelled holding tight to her shoulders and it got few people's attention. "Please let me go, you are hurting me". Isadora whined in pain. "I should let you go after what you did, people like you are to be in jail for murder, a murderer like you don't belong here!".He yelled and let go of her as he turned his back against her trying to control his anger. "Liam, am--".She got interrupted as she felt a hot slap across her face, she fell and a waiter holding a tray of drinks missed his balance and the drink poured on her. "Don't you dare call my name with that disgusting mouth!".He yelled and then Andrew and Anastasia came over to see the commotion. Although Emily was already there to help Isadora up. "Get out of here!". "How dare you!". Emily snapped at him. "Liam, what is going on here?".Andrew asked confusedly.
Isadora and Emily were seated in front of their shade chatting. "Did you try to tell Andrew how you feel?". Emily asked. "Yes I did, but it was too late, Andrew got himself a girlfriend". She said and Emily was surprised. "Really?". "Yes, he introduced her to me when he took me for a walk in the garden, he said he wanted to introduce her to me first before his family". "Oh my, that must have hurt you?". "It's fine, am happy for him, I know they will make a perfect couple, who will wanna have anything with a blind girl". "Don't say that, you will definitely have your sight again, there is still hope".She said and Isadora scoffed. "Hope? Hope you said, I lost that hope a long time ago, it has been eighteen years". "I don't think so, something can still happen any moment from now". "Well, am still waiting".She smiles..... Days later, Isadora came to deliver food to her mother, she was seated at the security post waiting for her after Mr.Scar went to in
Mrs.Lisa was preparing breakfast while Isadora was seated on the couch, resting her leg on the table. "Mom, I don't want to go to Mrs.Elena's house, I told you I would be fine here". "No, Emily would have come to stay with you but she is staying at her mother's shop because her mother went to the market, I can't leave you here all alone". "OK fine, let me go and stay with Emily, I don't want to go to Mrs. Elena's house". She insisted and her mother sighed. "Are you sure you will be fine, I don't want you to be a burden to Emily". "Don't worry, I will be fine". "Ok, if you say so, I will drop you off at her mother's shop". "Ok, Thank you". Mrs.Lisa arrived late to work and was confronted by Mrs.Elena who was eating with her children at the dining table. "You are late!". "Am sorry, ma, I woke up pretty late today".She said. "That's not an excuse". "Mom, please, that's enough, beside Kevin and I already made breakfast, there is no need to yell at her for
Days went by, and Liam returned from work, he resumed his father's company as a car dealer, while Andrew took over the oil company, both were doing well in their perspective area as the CEO. He walked inside to find something smelling burnt. "What's that smell?".He walked to the kitchen to see the food on the fire was the one burning. "Geez!".He hurriedly turned off the gas and opened the windows for the smoke to fade out. "Ma Lisa?".He called and started searching for her, he walked to the laundry room to see her resting her head on the washing machine."Ma. Lisa".He moved to her and tried to wake her up, but he noticed her body temperature. "Is she running body temperature?".He tapped her gently on her shoulder and she woke up.
