She appeared to have seen a ghost.
She didn’t respond right away. She wrung her hands and stared at me with wide, terrified eyes as she stood there.She whispered, “I went to fix his bunny.” “He never allows anyone to touch the plush animal he always has with him. The seam of it was torn. I intended to sew it while he was sleeping.Ollie, I discovered something inside. A flash drive. concealed within the stuffing.Her voice cracked. “I observed what was displayed. Everything.
For a moment, my heart stopped pounding.
For a moment, my heart stopped pounding.With tears in her eyes, Amelia continued, “Leo has been keeping something from you for years.” It has to do with his father. regarding his history. And I’m afraid, Ollie. I’m not sure if we should or can.”Should what?” Confused, I sat up and demanded.
Tears were running down her cheeks as she gazed at me with agony in her eyes. “I’m afraid of how much I adore him, Ollie. What happens if someone discovers this and attempts to separate us from him?
I was deeply devastated by the words. I took the flash drive from her trembling hands and went downstairs to the kitchen with her.For years, Leo has been keeping something from you.
With shaky fingers, Amelia opened her laptop, and I put the drive in. A video was the only file present.
The screen flashed to life when I hit play, and then Nora appeared.
I gasped. Her hair was a mess, and she had heavy circles under her eyes, giving off the impression that she was fatigued. However, her grin was soft, and I knew right once that she wasn’t addressing me when she spoke. She was conversing with Leo.
A video was the only file present.”Hello, my dear boy,” Nora said. “I need you to know the truth if you ever view this. I also need your forgiveness. I’ve never got the guts to speak out loud about something about your father.
Your dad is still alive, baby. Contrary to what I told everyone, he did not die. He was aware from the start that I was expecting you, but he had no desire to become a father. He had no desire for me, you, or anything else.
And he simply turned his back and left as if we were unimportant when I was afraid, alone, and in need of him the most. I was ashamed, so I told everyone he died. I didn’t want you to be treated unfairly or judged. I wanted you to grow up adored rather than pity-filled.I must tell you the truth.
All I know about him is his name. There was nothing else he left us. But you’re not to blame for any of this, sweetie. You’re doing well. You are pure. I own you. And more than everything in this world, I adore you.
Darling, there’s something more. I’m ill. I don’t have much time left, according to the physicians.
