Lily- A story of rebirth

Changes

Flashback - December, 12th

Rawee got surprised when her mother-in-law called to inform about Freen being at the hospital after a complicated delivery at home.

The middle-aged female asked her husband to help her find a new excuse to be absent again.

Robin commented with their kids that he wanted to visit an old friend before Christmas because the guy was not in a good shape and asked Richie to take care of the holiday preparations that year.

Since Becky was still packed with work, the girl didn’t pay attention to what her father said.

The couple promised to be back home before Christmas Eve.

They traveled to England on the following day.

Inside the plane, Rawee shared Freen’s secret with her husband, who got in a state of shock at first.

But then, he asked if they could consider the baby their grandchild and the wife replied with another question:

__ How do you feel about Freen? Did you chance your opinion about her after all this time?

__ Of course not. I love that girl as much as before. She’ll always be a part of our family. No matter what.

Smiling, Rawee commented:

__ So you have the answer.

__ But, are we gonna lie to Becca?__ The British guy was concerned.

Exhaling, his partner declared:

__ It’s not our story to tell. So I don’t think we are lying. I hope Freen and Becca can reconnect. That’s what we can do. Encourage both of them.

__ I guess you’re right. Oh my God! I’m so excited! We are grandparents! Do my parents know?

Rawee laughed and told him:

__ Your mother said some things on the phone...It seems they believe Richie is the father.

__ Oh no.__ Robin cracked up.

The couple arrived in London and took a train to the elders’ city.

When they arrived at the local station, Robin preferred to take a taxi than call his dad.

Maggie welcomed them with a nice smile and allowed them to go talk to Freen and see the baby before they could talk.

However, the brunette was visibly exhausted, and the couple preferred to let her rest after a couple of words.

Once they left the guest’s room, Robin asked if his father had a good beverage to share and the two men went to the library.

Meanwhile, the 73-year-old lady dragged her daughter-in-law to the kitchen and spat it out:

__ Honey, I can’t keep silent anymore. Bob and I already suspected something. Looking at the baby’s face, there is no doubt this is Richie’s child. I’m too disappointed. How could you cover for him instead of making him man up?

The Thai female patted the older lady’s back gently and replied:

__ Calm down. Of course, Robin and I would never allow our son to behave like a bastard. It’s not Richie’s. I assure you he never lay a hand on Freen. But if you don’t believe me, ask her.

Puzzled, Maggie stared at Rawee for a couple of minutes.

__ I can’t understand! That baby girl is just like Becca. And we all know your daughter is a female version of my Robin. So I have pictures of both of them when they were newly born. How do you explain this, Rawee?
