He felt they were not alone. He shifted his gaze towards the living room and saw his father standing in there looking very worried."Thank you, Dad," Derrick said to his father."Happy to help," Mr Mingle replied with his gaze still fixated on Derrick."Let me take a shower and we can talk," Derrick added, wrapped his arms around Lily's shoulder and walked her back to his room."Tell me everything, how is Lyla. Really?" Lily asked once they were inside the bedroom.Derrick looked at her in silence and wondered if he should tell her everything. He kicked against giving too many details."Well, the operation took a long time, but it was successful according to the doctor and we have nothing to worry about," he replied."How is the baby?" Lily asked with concern."He didn't say. I will find out tomorrow," Derrick lied. "but do you recall exactly what happened?" he asked taking his shirt off.Lily walked to the sofa and sat down, nervously rubbing her hands together. She tried to remember

"Lyla?" Derry called again looking at her hand in his and she again squeezed his hand and opened her eyes.He held her hand gently in his, his eyes filled with tears of joy. A doctor and two nurses entered the room after he pressed the bell. They asked him to go outside as they attended to Lyla.Out of Joy Derry, pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled Derrick's number. He answered after 2 rings."She is awake," he said joyfully immediately Derrick answered and said hello.Derrick, who didn't want to disturb Lily after she had struggled to sleep, had walked out of the room to the balcony to answer the call."This is good news. How is she doing? Have the doctors said anything yet?" Derrick asked in one breath as he was suddenly wide awake."They are attending to her now. I just called her name twice, and she squeezed my hands and opened her eyes. She didn't say anything though. But she opened her eyes and she responded when I called her name," Derry said joyfully."I am happy to

Paula accepted the cup of coffee with an awkward smile. Her niece likes Derrick meaning she can have Derry. With this thought in mind, her smile broadened. Derrick returned a brief smile and sat on the right corner of the sofa. Paula was sitting to his left also close to the corner.Derrick stayed around for a while before leaving at 7. 30 a.m. for the office. Now in the ward was Derry, sleeping Lyla and Paula, Lyla's aunt. Paula was happy Derrick had finally left. Now she is alone time with Derry.Derry looked very exhausted as he could not even close his eyes for a second since he came to the hospital the previous day. Now that everything was looking good, the tiredness was beginning to overcome him. The worry, which was the adrenaline that kept him awake had slowly subsided. Paula on the other hand looked refreshed as she was able to get a sound sleep. It was surprising how she was able to sleep even though the chair in the patient waiting area was uncomfortable and also consideri

Derry stretched his hand pressing the bell, which was just above Lyla's bed headboard for a medical practitioner."Derry, what happened? Is the baby, okay?" Lyla asked agitated as she rubbed her belly with her left hand. "I can't feel anything again," she cried."Calm down my love. Just relax, let the doctor get here first," Derry coaxed."Derry, I lost the baby, right? I lost the baby?" Lyla said with tears streaming down her face and Derry wiped her tears going silent, unable to answer her question."My baby is gone," Lyla repeated in a feeble voice and more tears streamed down her face.Derry's heart ached and his own eyes became tearer but he held back his tears and tried to console her. He stroked the top of her head gently to calm her, but Lyla kept crying. Her tears started choking her, making it uncomfortable for her to breathe. Next, she went silent and shut her eyes. The monitor started beeping and Derry became anxious."I need a doctor here now," Derry yelled causing Paula t

Lyla couldn't finish her porridge, but Lily had fed her at least half of the bowl. She placed the leftovers back on the table and Derry took care of the washing while Lily kept Lyla company.Lyla felt guilt looking at Lily's genuine love and concern for her. She knew if it was Lily in her place, she wouldn't have done that for her. It would rather be an opportunity to take Derrick away from her. She stared at Lily blankly in deep thought. Rosy had called her earlier and given her that baby shop location and requested she take Lily to the place. She recalled."Does it mean this accident was meant for Lily?" Lyla thought."Rosy instructed her to make sure Lily goes with her to the location. No, this accident was meant for Lily. I just got in the way," Lyla concluded in her thought while she was still staring at Lily who was helping her feel more comfortable."Hey," Lily snapped her fingers in Lyla's face, pulling her out of her thoughts."Hey, you shouldn't be thinking about anything. Yo

Derry went silent for a while trying to process what Devon had just revealed to him. If Mr Adam Shawn's account is still active, who is using it? He thought."What do you mean the account is active? Who is using it?" Derry questioned."His daughter, Lily Shawn," Devon announced.Derry went silent upon hearing Lily's name linked to the account and recalling what Devon had told him earlier about the account being used to pay the criminal who ran Lyla over. Lily is a good person, so why would she do that? He knew Lily and Lyla had not been on good terms initially, but they are okay now."Are you sure?" Derry asked sounding surprised rather than angry. "Yes sir, the payment was made directly from that account but through multiple others before reaching the contracted person. This kind of move is never easy to trace but my men are good," Devon explained trying to displace his competence in the process "My men will be picking Lily up for questioning," he added"No, wait, I will let you kno

"Derrick, Lily fainted," Derry said as soon as the call connected. "What?" Derrick almost screamed on the phone "I am coming over," he added without waiting for an answer to his question.He hurriedly packed the document he was working on into his cabinet, grabbed his car keys, and stepped out of his cabin. He realized he didn't ask where Lily was but already suspected she was at the same hospital as Lyla. He called Derrick back to confirm why Lily was. "Which hospital?" Derrick asked as soon as the call connected and disconnected the call after getting his answer.He ran into Marcus who was heading towards his cabin. Marcus frowned seeing the serious expression Derrick carried on his face."Is everything okay, sir?" Marcus asked with concern, reading the expression on Derrick's face which changed to worry."No, everything is not okay. Lily fainted," Derrick replied, and Marcus's eyes widened."Ask Rosy to take care of my afternoon meeting and meet me at the car garage," Derrick said

Lily had told Derrick everything Lyla told her at the hospital without revealing Lyla was the one who told her. Derrick was finding it hard to believe that Rosy is confident would do such a thing and hence wanted to know Lily's source of information but Lily went silent. Derrick who was sitting on the bed next to Lily, leaned forward, his face inches away from Lily's."How did you come by this information?" Derrick asked, staring questioningly into her eyes with a serious expression.His closeness to her face and how he was staring into her eyes made the simple question he asked translated into something difficult for her to answer. She swallowed hard staring back at Derrick. In Lily's mind, Derrick sounded more like he was questioning if he could trust her words."He was questioning her credibility. Does he ever trust her?" Lily thought.Lily's facial expression began to change with each thought of Derrick questioning her credibility."Do you think I have a reason to lie to you?" Li

Derrick went silent and lowered his head shocked by the news of his father's death."I was informed yesterday but I knew you were out on a date and I didn't want to spoil your evening with such news," Luis added and Derrick just nodded."I will be returning to Florida, later today. Just let me know if you need anything," Luis said and got up to leave.Derrick got up and escorted Luis to the door without saying anything but just nodding to whatever Luis was saying. He closed the door after Luis had left and out of anger punched the wall so hard, that he got injured in the process. As if he could not feel the pain, he gave the wall another punch. He turned and pressed his back to the wall and sank to the ground.Luis walked to his car and called Isabel."Hello Isabel, are you busy?" he asked."No, what's up?" replied Isabel."Kindly come over to Derrick's place. He is not alright. I just told him about his father," replied Luis."Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes," Isabel replied."Gr
Lily Shawn Chapter 180: Gone
Derrick lowered his head, disappointed. He did not know how to react to the news he had just received. It was his father all along. All the problems he and Lily went through were because of his father. Technically, Lily never had a moment of peace because of him. He recalled what Lily had said about having months of peace since he was out of her life. She was right after all. "When did you find out?" Derrick directed his question to Luis."Err, things become clearer the day you left Florida. I had always had my suspicion though," replied Luis."Why didn't you say something to me?" Derrick queried."Would you have believed me then without the undeniable evidence?" Luis asked advancing towards him.Derrick went silent and Luis patted him on the shoulder."I am truly sorry about your father. I wish he didn't do what he did," Luis consoled and left the two standing there."And you," Derrick said shifting his attention to Isabel who was still standing with him. "Did you ever love me or was
Lily Shawn Chapter 179: Mr Adrian Mingle's Trial
Luis, knowing what was going to happen, had already taken the first flight to Washington to defend Derrick.Arriving at Washington Central police station, Derrick saw on the TV screen what had transpired the night before, while he was in bed hugging Lily's dress. He was shocked to see what was showing on the screen."So that is why he got arrested?" Derrick thought as he was sent to the withholding cell.Derrick knew his father could do the unthinkable like when his father killed his friend and made him lose his memory but that was a long time ago. He thought he had changed."Drug and weapon trafficking?" Derrick thought. "When did he start doing such business?" he continued in his thought. "But why? As the head of Homeland Security, he earned good money, so why would he do this?" he thought. "Or did someone set him up?" he frowned while trying to understand why his father would do such a thing."Lucky you. Your lawyer is already here," came the voice of an officer interrupting Derric

Derry stared at Luis not sure how to react to the information."Does your wife know?" Derry inquired."No," Luis said and turned to face Derry. "When I found Derrick, I sent Isabel to his location to monitor him. Well, I didn't give her so many details aside from telling her I want her to monitor Derrick and report his activities to me and also to keep an eye on his father, Mr Mingle. I had found out the two were living together. Isabel got herself employed in Derrick's new company, Armani or something. Some weird name, I don't know how he comes up with company names. Anyway, Isabel got close to him and he found solace in her. I am not sure what happened. Isabel is very professional in her dealings but she yielded so I let them be," he explained."So Derrick doesn't know," Derry said."No, he doesn't. Isabel is a CID, but now she is in love with Derrick and she will come clean after our operation. She is a strong woman; she can handle rejection if things don't go well," Luis said raisi

Derrick spent some time with his children before leaving for his apartment. He decided to stay around for a while before going back to Washington. Derrick was back in his apartment, he stood in the living room recalling memories of himself and Lily. His eyes shifted to the dining area and he remembered the first time he had cooked for Lily. He recalled all the good times they had together. He went up to the bedroom. He opened the door and the familiar fragrance that used to greet him when Lily was in the room was no longer there. He scanned the room and the dressing table still had Lily's stuff on it. He opened the closet and her clothes were still in there. Neither Lily nor he returned to the apartment after Lily was rushed to the hospital. He removed one of Lily's dresses from the hanger and hugged it. It did carry traces of her scent. He walked to the bed and lay down on the bed hugging Lily's dress feeling regretful. His phone rang interrupting the moment. He searched for it and c

Derry left and Lily turned to face Derrick. There was silence in the room for 10 minutes but it felt like a whole day for Lily. Derrick cleared his throat and got up to sit next to Lily but she stopped him."Please, just sit where you are," Lily said with a straight face and Derrick sat back on his seat."I am sorry about that," Derrick said."Okay. Why do you want to see me?" Lily asked going straight to the point and Derrick exhaled deeply."Lily, I came here to apologize. No matter my explanation it doesn't change the fact that I abandoned you when you needed me most," Derrick began and Lily looked on with a straight face, constantly reminding herself Derry was just in the living room to keep herself calm."So, why did you leave? All I remember was you apologizing," Lily asked and Derrick remembered that day.He had spoken to his father and he left the hospital after. He recalled Lily's state when he left. Derrick narrated their entire life together as a couple and explained he didn
Lily Shawn Chapter 175: Clearing things up - Part 2
Derry felt Lily needed to know the truth and that would help her make a decision she would not regret. If Derrick's reasons were justified, she could go back to the man she had once loved. She hated him now because she didn't know why he left.He turned to look at Lily, she was asleep but the expression on her face said she was not happy even in her sleep. He got out of bed and went to the washroom and stood under the cold shower. The weather was that cold yet he took a cold shower. He returned to the bedroom to see Derrick had replied indicating he wasn't asleep himself. He sighed and left the bedroom for his study. He dialled Luis's number and he picked up after two rings."Hey men, do you have something against marriage fun?" queried Luis as soon as the call connected."Sorry to disturb you, I just needed someone to talk to," replied Derry sounding sad.Luis looked at Rose who was still sleeping and he went to the balcony."Hey, you don't sound okay, what happened? Is Lily aright?"
Lily Shawn Chapter 174: Clearing things up - Part 1
Derry joined his third and last meeting for the day. In the meeting, he was a bit distracted. He felt content in his heart, having adopted the children but was still afraid to advance his relationship with Lily, especially now that Derrick was back in Town."Will Lily go back to him?" Derry thought recalling Luis's several warnings."Sir, what do you think of the idea?" asked one of the board members.Derry sat at the head of the table surrounded by 6 board members, 3 on each side of the table. He could see their lips moving and images flashing on the projector screen but nothing they were saying was registering on his mind."Sir, Mr McClean?" the board member sitting closest to him called out to him."Yes," Derry responded snapping out of his thoughts."I just wanted to know what you thought of the idea for the project," the board member who had done the presentation asked again."Send it to my email, I want to go through it again and decide," Derry replied. "Is that the last idea pre

"Perfect," Luis said and Rose looked at him wondering what was on his phone that he was smiling about but he said nothing and continued driving."What is it?" Rose asked curiously."Just work," Luis replied and rubbed her chin with his thumb gently before putting both hands on the steering."Okay," Rose replied and kept her eyes on the road.As soon as they got home, Luis kissed Rose on the cheeks and quickly proceeded to his basement. Rose immediately knew the notification; he received in the car was probably a lead on the investigation. Meaning he had found something on Mr Mingle. She smiled and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and after she started preparing some tea for Luis.In the basement, Luis turned on the light and put all his machines on."My babies, Dad needs you to do something really fun for him," Luis said while opening some apps on the machines and waiting for other machines to fully boot.He connected the headset to the machine and put it on. He pulled a se
