"Stanley, I can't believe you are not saying anything over this matter" Lucy exclaimed, her frustration mounting. "Aren't you supposed to be on my side?I'm your wife, at least you should have help and find solutions to what is on ground. She shifted the child in her arms, looking into Stanley's face for response but he remained silent, his face impassive."You've been acting strange ever since Liam accused me of cheating on him. Is it that you don't trust me or what?" she asked, a mixture of sadness and hurt in her voice. "I thought you knew me better than Liam now. Why don't you want to speak up and defend me? If anyone doesn't trust me, at least you should?"Ever since they left Liam's place, Stanley had been acting cold and distant. He wouldn't talk to her about what was bothering him, and he wouldn't even look her in the eye. Lucy had no idea what was going on, and the silence was killing her. She had been the only one going to the hospital to take care of Elizabeth as she is stil

"I think it will be nice if we invite Asher and Liam to meet us at the hospital". Stanley said as he turned the hand of the steering wheel out of his compound, driving towards the direction of the hospital."Why". Lucy asked, wondering why he would want Liam to be present despite showing that he doesn't seem interested in Elizabeth again. "If I turn out to be Elizabeth's father, I want him to hear it directly from the doctor and also If it turns out that I am not Elizabeth's father, I am sure he will be interested to help us find who Elizabeth's father is". He said, as he glued his eyes on the road."So you trust me now?" Lucy asked, a hint of hope in her voice.Stanley nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "I do, my love." Lucy smiled in response.She reached for her phone and dialed Liam's number, she was surprised when Liam picked up on the first ring. She invited him and Asher to meet them at the hospital to hear the test results and also that Elizabeth will be discharged that day

Nine years laterElizabeth had grown into a brilliant, smart and intelligent teenager. She took after Lucy's face and body shape even as a teenager. She is a distinction student, and her teachers loved her for her inquisitive mind and thirst for knowledge. Her parents, Liam and Asher, adored her so much and did everything they could to satisfy her. She got all she wanted from them. Every holiday, they took Elizabeth to visit Stanley and Lucy, the biological parents who had given her to them nine years ago.Elizabeth had also developed a deep love and respect for Stanley and Lucy. They had become like a second set of parents to her, and she considered herself lucky to have them in her life. Every time she went to visit them for the holidays, Stanley would find it difficult to let her go. He loved her much more than his twins, and the thought of her leaving always made him sad. He would always wish he had not given the child to Liam and Asher and that he had stubbornly taken custody of

"Mrs. Lucy," the judge said, his voice stern and impatient. "We don't have all day. If you don't have anything to say, then we'll have to move on." He said after Lucy had chosen to stand there, silent and crying. The courtroom was filled with a tense silence, as everyone anxiously waited for what she had to say. Stanley and Liam steal glances at each other several times with worry and anxiousness written on their faces. "I'm sorry, Stanley. I'm sorry, Liam" Lucy began, her voice cracking. "It's too difficult for me to say this, but at this point, I just have to say it". She said again, looked at Elizabeth and said, "My darling, I'm so sorry for what I did". "What did you do?". Stanley shouted, her voice shaking as he became impatient but the court clerk called him to order and he composed himself. "Stanley, you are not the father of Elizabeth". Lucy said, her voice cracking. The courtroom erupted into chaos as soon as Lucy spoke those words. Stanley staggered due to the shock, he

"Where do you think you are going". Stanley said to Lucy as she was about to follow him inside the house. His tone was sharp and filled with irritation. They had just returned from the court, even though they entered one car, it was a silent ride, no one spoke to each other. "Baby please, I am sorry about what happened, I didn't mean to hurt you". She said, her eyes brimming with tears. Stanley ignored her and was about to step inside when Lucy quickly grasped his angles and dropped down to her knees."Please, forgive me". She sobbed but her plea was ignored by the stone - faced Stanley."You made me look evil in court". Stanley seethed, his face twisting in disgust. "Lucy, I will urge you to leave, you won't like what I would do if you stay, you evil woman". Stanley said but his threat seemed to fall on deaf ears as Lucy rose with a strong face and determination to enter the house."You are the evil dripping with hatred and jealousy" She bellowed, her face filled with rage.
