Inside the labour room, soon the sweet voice of a crying baby filled every body"s ears. A healthy baby boy was born. He was wrapped in a towel and handed over to his mother, Elizabeth.
Tears ran down her eyes! He had exactly the green eyes and brown hair, she had imagined inside the ambulance!
"Thank you for giving me a reason to live! I promise to protect you untill my last breath!" She kissed the little hands of the baby, looking at his adorable face.
Standing next to her was Lillian"s mother, overwhelmed with happiness.
"Go meet your grandmother, Rhehan." She handed over the baby to Lillian"s mother, who quickly wiped her tears to hold him.
After five minutes, the nurse came inside the room, checking the baby"s vitals. She attatched a paper band on his arm and was about to write something, when she looked at Elizabeth. "Have you decided on a name yet? Otherwise I can write your name on the band."
"He is Rhehan." Elizabeth smiled, controlling her tears. The nurse wrote the name on the band and left.
Lillian was about to board the flight when she recieved a call from her mother, informing her about the good news. Lillian was over-joyed and coudn"t wait to reach the hospital.
1:00 a.m.
Inside the hospital room.....
It was already late at night so Elizabeth was fast asleep. Next to her was a small white cot, inside which her baby was sleeping peacefully. Lillian"s mother was sleeping too, on the bed placed on the other corner of the room.
There was a loud knock on the door and Elizabeth looked up at the door, half asleep. "Who is it?"
The door was pushed open and a few suited men entered the room. Elizabeth gasped in horror. The man in the lead was Davis!
Davis had his usual cunning smile on his face and he strided towards the cot, looking down at the baby with an amazed look.
"Tsk! Tsk! How could you forget to inform the father of the child?"
Elizabeth shuddered in fear. "Davis...Please...stay away from my baby."
"Your baby? He is our baby! Can"t I just hold him in my arms."
Elizabeth was too much in shock and fear. How did he know where I was? He knew about my pregnancy?
Davis picked up the baby and gazed at him seriously. The baby opened his eyes at the jerk and started crying. "I must say! He is exactly like you."
"You...You knew about my pregnancy?"
"Offcourse my dear! I have been keeping a track on you from past 6 months."
The baby was crying constantly, waking up Lillian"s mother. She got startled to see so many suited men standing inside the room. "Who are you people?"
"Ahh! I am the father!" Davis looked at the baby once again.
"So what did you plan to do? Blackmail me for my money, with this silly little kid?"
Elizabeth was shocked at his question. This is all he thinks? He is heartless!
"This child has nothing to do with you and I promise he will never even know about his father. We don"t want anything from you!" Elizabeth could sense hatred and danger in his tone.
Lillian"s mother tried to take Rhehan in her arms, since he was crying profousely but suddenly one of the suited men aimed a gun at her and signalled her to sit back.
"Hah!! You shot me! Because of you, I can never have a kid and you think I will let you lead a happy life? I could have killed you easily, but I will not! You know why?" Davis shouted at her, his anger errupted like a volcano.
Elizabeth did not reply to him. She was more concerned about Rhehan. She just wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Rhehan out of his arms.
"I will tell you why! Killing you will be an easy punishment for you. I planned to wait till you deliver this baby, so that I can kill him in front of your eyes. You will live with this pain forever!"
