Chapter 1: Sick

“No, no. Please, you have to do something about it. You can't just leave him, he will die.” Lily cried out as the doctor broke the news to her.

“But there is nothing I can do about it. We have tried to keep him stable for so long now and I don't think he has much time left. He needs an immediate kidney transplant.” The doctor replied and Lily sniffed as more tears streamed down her eyes.

“Then give him mine. I am ready to… “

“I have told you countless times that we can't. Somehow, you guys don't match. Going ahead with it can you both you and your father.” The doctor replied and she fell to her knees immediately.

“Please, please, doctor.” She cried and the doctor tried to pull away from her but her grip on him was tight.

“Your father has forty-eight hours left, he won't make it without a new kidney. We have one that already matches his but we need you to pay before we commence the surgery, the donor isn't going to give it for free. We need four hundred thousand dollars to carry this out.” The doctor explained and her heart shattered the more.

“How am I supposed to raise four hundred thousand dollars in forty-eight hours?” She asked in tears and the doctor successfully pulled away from her.

“I don't know, but if you want to save your father’s life. Find that money by any means necessary.” The doctor replied and walked away leaving Lily on the floor in tears.

She sniffed and slowly stood up, she felt the weight of the whole world on her shoulders as she dragged her feet towards her father’s ward.

She got there and slowly walked in, she couldn't bear to stare at him and she burst into another round of tears and rushed out of the ward.

She slowly sat on the floor and leaned on the door as she cried her eyes out.

She couldn't let her father die! He is all she has, it has just been both of them for the past twenty years. Her mother left them for a millionaire years ago, Lily has no idea of the details of the story all she could recall was her father on his knees begging her mother not to leave.

She didn't listen to him and she left, weeks later, she was married to a millionaire. Turns out she was already pregnant with the man while she was still married to her father.

Her mother has been doing well while they have been suffering. She has refused to render any form of help to them the last time they contacted her fifteen years back. That was the last time Lily saw her mum.

Lily wiped her tears and slowly stood up. Sitting here and crying wouldn't raise the money and at the same time, she had no idea of what to do. No job could raise four hundred thousand dollars in forty-eight hours. No job could!

She made her way out of the hospital and held onto her bag tightly, she had no idea where to go or what to do, all she did was stand on a spot and watch.

A thought suddenly popped up in her head and she sighed, she knew that was the only way but it would be so difficult to do. It is been fifteen years! Would she even recognise her?

Lily decided to try her luck, she could still recall the address perfectly. She stared at the last few bucks of dollars in her hand and exhaled heavily before stopping a taxi. She got in and told the driver where she was heading.

After some minutes on the way, they got to the place and she paid the driver as she walked out. She stared at the house and took in a deep breath, she shook her head pushing off every thought that could bring tears into her eyes again.

She was about to knock when the gate opened automatically, she raised her brows surprised, and slowly walked in.

She paused when she saw guards in the building. One of them walked towards her.

“Good day ma’am, please how may I help you?” The guard asked.

“I am here to see Mrs. McCall.” I replied. McCall is the last name of the man she got married to. Lily’s last name was Harris.

“Do you have any appointments with her?”

“No, it is an emergency.” She replied and he nodded in response.

“Please come with me.” He said and walked ahead of her, Lily immediately trailed behind him and they both walked into the house.

The guard stood in front of Lily blocking her view from who was in the living room.

“Ma’am, there is someone here to see you.” The guard said.

“Who?” Lily heard her mother reply and her heart raced, the guard moved away from her and her mother looked up at her.

Lily could swear she saw a flicker of emotion in her eyes but it disappeared immediately it came.

“Get out.” Those were her first words and Lily felt her heart bleed. That was the first word her mother said to her after not seeing her for fifteen years.

Due to how hopeless she was, Lily fell on her knees immediately.

“Ma’am, please. My dad is dying, he is dying, and he… “

“It is none of my business if your father is dying.” She cut her off.

“Please. You have to help him, I have nowhere to go but here. You are my last hope and the only one that can help me. If you wouldn't do it for anything, do it for the old time's sake. Please.” Lily cried and her mother kept a stern look.

“Get out of my house. This is none of my business, your father can die and you can join him as well.” She replied and Lily’s eyes widened in shock.

She wasn't expecting that from her!

“Wh… what? How can you say that to your daughter?” Lily asked with a whimper.

“My daughter? You stopped being my daughter when you saw what happened twenty years ago and said nothing about it! My first daughter is not you. You are dead to me Lily, and you will forever stay dead!”
