SEARCHING
Luna POV
Nobody knew that the night I gave birth to the twins, I didn't just give birth to two children; I had three.
A baby boy, but I couldn't keep him. Mr. Rogers ordered his men to take him away, that my son was of no use to him. I haven't told anyone this. Not even Lia.
I don't even know if he's alive, so what is the need to tell any of them about him when the doctor had said he would die from the disease he had.
He wasn't the only child taken away from me. After five years of taking care of the twins, I got pregnant again.
When I was giving birth, I was in a lot of pain; I thought I would die. I think he performed an operation on me; I was in so much pain.
When I woke up, the doctor told me my baby didn't make it, but I swear on my life, I heard a baby cry while I was feeling weak.
I knew something was not right. I cried for days. I lost my son and now my daughter. I refused to eat for days which led me to faint.
When the doctor came to check on me, he told me everything. Can you imagine, he said Mr. Rogers didn't want my children even though the baby is a female and a male? He said he couldn't afford to feed another mouth.
Why will he say that? The bastard is so rich that he can feed a community for months. So when it came to his children, he couldn't do it.
"So, are you saying that they are not dead?"
"What? No! They are with me."
"Really? Why?" I asked, getting suspicious.
"Look, dear, I know you've gone through a lot, and you can't trust anyone, but trust me on this, your children are safe.
My wife is taking care of them; we'll protect them and love them as if they were ours."
"Did you name them?" He nodded.
"My wife named them. The girl is Adaline, while the boy is Andrew."
"Thank you so much, doctor. Please take good care of them, and protect them."
"I will, I promise."
You see, the doctor was the only nice person in the compound. I don't know if it was because of his profession to care for his patients or others, but he was good to my kids and me.
There are times that Mr. Rogers would not want to treat us. The doctor would make it his job to care for us even though he wouldn't get paid.
I finally have the courage to tell Lia. I hate hiding things from her; I hope she won't be angry.
I saw her taking off her clothes, getting prepared to go to bed.
"Lia, can we talk?"
"Sure, is there a problem?" I nod.
"Come, sit with me, Amour; you look like you're about to pass out. Is it that serious?" I nod again. She held my hand, "Amour, no matter how serious it is, I'll never be mad at you.
You know that I love you, right? I can't get mad at you, so don't be scared and just tell me."
"W-Well, you see, I have a son. I mean, I have three kids."
"Oh, do you mean you had a triplet?"
"No, I mean, I have three kids that are missing." I looked at her. She was in her own world. What would she think of me? I hope she's not disappointed in me for keeping it from her.
Will she hate me now? Will she send my kids and me away? I hope not.
"Do you want to look for them?"
I can't believe we are actually doing this. We went back to the town that I didn't want to be in.
But I want to see my children. I noticed people staring at us; they must have recognized me. I don't care.
I just hope they won't tell my useless parents that I am in town. I know they've been trying to look for me. Which is stupid; why would they do that now? I have been in Mr. Rogers' compound for years, but they didn't try to search for me or save me from that monster.
Now they want my forgiveness. I don't think I'll ever forgive them.
We searched everywhere, but someone told us that they moved to another town. The nice family gave us the address. It seems the doctor moved back to his hometown.
Why didn't I think of that? He always told me about the place he grew up. I guess after Mr. Rogers' death, he moved back. At least I'll get to see my kids soon.
I am excited and nervous. Will they want to see me? Do they even know I am their mother? But the doctor did promise to tell them when they're of age, are they of age to be told that kind of thing? I was getting nervous and scared.
"Maybe we should go back; they don't need me. I am sure they are happy without me."
"We are not backing down on this; you're going to see your children Amour. Even if you don't talk to them, at least you will know they are safe."
Their home wasn't hard to find. I didn't know he was this rich, he did tell me he had money, but he loved helping people; that's why he didn't take money often from Mr. Rogers.
I knocked, and an older woman opened it.
"I am looking for doctor Larry."
"And who might you be?"
"Please tell him Lia is looking for him.
I think he knew who I was."
"Oh, my goodness, you're alive." She
hugged Lia.
"What's going on?"
"Come in, dear. I am Larry's wife, Lana. He told me everything about you. Honey come here, see who's looking for you," she shouted for her husband. I heard footsteps coming down.
"My goodness, Lia, you're alive," he said, hugging me while I cried.
"It's so good to see you, doctor."
"It's good to see you too, dear," he said, smiling.
"Are they here? We've been searching for you."
