Chapter 616: Our Own family had abandoned us.
"What?" Robert asked as he frowned at him.
"Why? What had happened? Aunt Lucy, Why do you have to slap him?" Samantha asked and Johnson bit his lips as he looked at Lucy while she looked back at him.
"Should I tell them?" Lucy asked.
"Of course, You should. What had he done to deserve that slap?" Robert asked as he raised his eyebrows at her.
"Dad, it was nothing…" Robert cut off Johnson in mid sentence.
"How can it be nothing when you get slapped? There should be something or else, you might have done something. That's why she had slapped you… Right?" Robert asked, making Johnson groan.
"Well… He had done nothing…" Lucy said, making Samantha frown.
"Then, what is the reason, Aunt Lucy?" Samantha asked with a worried tone.
"Sam, There is nothing to worry about… It just… he was out of his mind when he was with you. Just, seeing you in this situation, he couldn't control himself and so, he was talking nonsense which raised your pulse… It might have pushed you in more danger where we can have no idea if we can save you or not. At that time, he was listening to me when I told him to get out of this room.
So, I had to slap him, so he can get himself straight." Lucy answered and sighed as she looked at Johnson.
Johnson took a deep breath as he looked at everyone looking at everyone as Lucy said that.
"I am really sorry… Okay? I was worried about my wife… What else can I do?" Johnson asked.
"I can understand… Anyone in that situation would do that. It's not your fault or Lucy's." Robert said and Lucy nodded her head in yes.
"Yes and I am really sorry for whatever I have done. I didn't slap you with any intentions… It was just that moment… I had to stop you and slapping you would only bring you back. I know how much you love Samantha… But, that was not the right way to react. You should understand that." Lucy said.
"It's impossible to control themselves when their loved ones are going through something like this, Lucy…" Damon replied and Lucyu nodded her head.
"Yes, I understand but that was what a doctor should say. You have no idea what I went through when I was treating her. I have no idea what I was doing but I only believed one thing that is… I should save Samantha. If it was not me… Then, I know… there is only god that can do it but no one else… I had faith that she would be alive and treated her." Lucy said.
"Thank you." They all heard a voice which made them turn around and saw Liam standing at the door.
"Liam…" Damon called and Liam stepped inside and closed the door behind his back and walked insider towards them.
"Thank you… Thank you so much." Liam said, making Lucy frown.
"Why and what are you thankful for?I have done nothing…" Lucy said as she shook her head.
"You have done everything, Lucy… You have done a lot… A lot I mean… Back then, it was Damon who had helped us a lot and then, You. You guys were always the one that helped us every single time… I am really so grateful for you both.
I have no words to say… It's just I don't know what you guys are expecting from us and neither why you are always helping us… but I am really grateful for whatever you guys did and are doing for us… and our children." Liam said with tears in his eyes as Lucy shook her head.
"Liam, stop it…" Damon said, making Liam shake his head in no.
"No, please, let me finish it… You guys have no idea what you have done for us…" Liam replied.
"It's unnecessary right now… You don't have to dig the past now." Damon said.
"I am not digging it. I am really talking about the ease you guys had always being there for usd no matter what." Liam replied.
"We are a family and we will always be there for each other…" Damon said, making Liam chuckle.
"Family? My own family had abandoned me and my family when I was going through something hard… They never looked back at me and neither did even ask me how I am or my family is doing, Damon… Neither my own parents had asked me how I am surviving with two little girls in my arms…" Liam said as a tear fell down from his eye.
"Liam…" Damon tried to talk but Smantha cut him off in mid sentence.
"He was right, Uncle Damon… Our own family that we expected to be with each other on every happy and sad day had abandoned us…" Samantha said as she chuckled and looked up at them.
"How can you expect all this help from others when our family has given up on us?" Samantha asked.
"Sam, it was past… and We aren't like them at all… We will never expect to do something ;like that with you… You are the amazing people that we have ever met and your hearts are just as pure as diamonds. They have no idea how amazing people you are.
You don't have to care about them when you are living a life that they have never expected you all to reach." Lucy answered with a tight smile as she walked towards her and caressed her hair making Samantha smile as a tear fell down from her eye.
"It doesn't matter anymore since they have left us… They are not our family anymore… Saamantha is right… What can we expect from outsiders when our own family has abandoned us?" Liam asked.
"And you have said many times that we are not outsiders… Are we?" Lucy asked.
"You aren't and we never treated you like one… Did I? But, if unintentionally, I did then please forgive me…" Liam said as he lowered his head.
"Liam, come on… Don't be silly. You have never treated us like that. So, Don't feel bad. Okay?" Damon asked and Liam smiled as he nodded his head.
