Mrs. Lauretta was stunned to see a girl in the room ,the servant said Alexander is supposed to be here "a girl---?" She looked at the guy if he was serious then at Lily who is currently sleeping on the bed ."yes. He was here ,he even told me to call Mary for a first aid kit for this lady" the servant explained confused ' where is master Alexander?'
Maya came rushing in "mother, where are you running to with excitement?" She struggled with her long gown.Then she also paused as she saw the sleeping beauty "whoa, never knew Mary invited a girl " she said with her eyes widely.
Mrs. Lauretta looked at her "and why aren't you with the others?Robert here said Alexander is here " Maya paused " Alex?".
" I thought I asked for a kit not my mother and where is Mary , young man?"the gentle deep voice rang out .
Both the mother and daughter looked back slowly to whom that voice belonged to ." Alexander?" Mrs. Lauretta first said as she stretched her hands emotionally toward Alex to touch him if he was real.
After the confirmation that he was real,she came closer to him with tear running down her eye and gave him a big hug.
"my son is finally home" Mrs. Redford said as she buried her face in his neck, Alexander had to bend down a little for his mother's hug "how I've missed you" she sobbed heavily . Alex hugged her also "I have missed you too"He said holding his tear ,it feels good to be in your mother's arms.
The mother and son hugged for some minutes before Mrs. Redford finally released , then Maya hugged him " oh my baby brother , you've grown so tall " Alex hugged back ,they were outside the guest room ." I need a kit to apply ointment on the lady inside" that was when the mother and daughter remembered there was girl in the room.
"That reminds me ,who is---" but before Mrs. Redford could say anything . Mr. Rowel came in "you punk ,why didn't you say you where coming today" by his presence those standing bowed.
Alexander bowed his head "I'm sorry father,just wanted it to be a surprise" he said gentle." No need for apologies, Gabriel said you brought a girl with you" Mr. Rowel asked as he tried to look into the room to see only Lily's back sleeping peacefully.
Gabriel is the head Butler of the house and very close to Mr. Rowel,he was at the entrance when he saw Alex 's driver Stephen, whom he recognized very well,he brought in a box which he said was an order Mary made ,then few minutes later,he saw Mercedes Benz car driving in and the after a few minutes,Alexander came out carrying in a little girl in his arms,so immediately ,he went to inform the Master.
" Father, she's not anything you think she is , she's the daughter of Mr. Hawthorne,she said she was late in the delivery Mary ordered but had an accident so I helped her....." Alexander explained further about the incident" Oh that is understandable,why don't you treat her and after the event we'll all meet at the family room"Mr. Rowel said,with that he carried his old stick walking towards his study with the help of his wife " I'll see you lately welcome back"Mrs. Lauretta said to Alex then gave him a peck ,she's very happy Alexander was back.
Alexander nodded then entered the guest room where Lily slept like a baby in the bed ,the room was a luxurious type, he poured a glass of water for himself then waited for the first aid kit .
Mary got to the restroom to see Flora crying while wiping her lap with a handkerchief, well Mary care less " oh look who it is" Mary walked gracefully towards Flora with a mocking smile,when Flora lifted her eye to see it was Mary ,she knew it was trouble,she just came here to clean off the blood from her lap so it won't soak the gown she was wearing."what do you want? Mary" .
Mary walked slowly looking at her in hatred"want? Or I should be asking you the question ,what are you here? After ten years ,I thought you begged never to come again and you received pardon, no?"Mary walked closer facing Flora eye to eye" Mary you have to let go and you can't blame me for coming, your mother insisted I should come ".
" And you think I look like mommy to you" Mary stepped on Flora's feet making Flora to push her in defense but what she didn't except was when Mary delivered a swift kick making her fly to the edge of the restroom.
Flora coughed violently ,she panted heavily as she saw Mary walking closer to her with deep maniac "why are you doing this?..... This is more than ten years ago" Flora struggled to raise up but was weak from that unexpected kick.
Mary squats down to her and looked straight into Flora, Her eyes were burning with hatred as it was so dark , Flora was frightened because Mary's green eyes were filled with murderous aura " Using my mother to get to the family is very cheap,I know what you are here for, coming here with Bruce to check the area was a huge mistake " then Mary stood up , tuned to leave but when she got to the door .
Flora spoke out " you don't know anything "she said weakly. Mary paused without looking she said " Don't be the last one I'll descend on ,I know your plans but if anything is to be initiated successfully I'll find you"with that she left.
After that Mary walked further she saw the man whom Lily came with,they looked at each other ,then Mary smirked and left like nothing happened.
" Miss! Miss" a young maid was calling out as she ran through the walk way to the hall where the event was taking place. Mary immediately turned back" what is it ? Is the world on fire ?is the building collapsing? Why are you calling me like that" Mary said annoyingly because the workers in this house like calling her for any emergency ' can't I have a break'. Mary sighed as she touch the bridge of her nose.
" No ,not that, your brother's calling for you" the maid said as she smiled. Mary looked at the girl as if she was drunk " what's so special in James calling me? Making you smile like you're going to be rewarded " Mary hissed at the girl and continued walking " No miss , it's Master Alexander , he's back "
