CHAPTER 57
Zara’s POV
That very day, we joyfully brought our daughter out of the orphanage, relieved to discover that she harbored no resentment. She expressed his happiness at having her wish fulfilled and being reunited with us.
The overwhelming joy I felt was impossible to contain. Lucas, Enrique, and I had a delightful time together, showering our daughter with love and affection. Enrique, being the older brother, embraced him warmly, forming an instant bond.
As we sat in the van, she curiously asked, “Where are we going?”
It was late, and darkness had enveloped the surroundings. But we were nearing our grand mansion.
The anticipation among everyone to meet our son, the long-lost member of the Blackwood family, was palpable. Gratitude filled the hearts of our relatives, thankful that we had finally found our daughter, our missing piece. It was as if a void in my heart had been miraculously filled. Lucas and I couldn’t help but smile, radiating pure joy.
“We’re going home, sweetie. To our grand house…” Lucas replied, sitting beside him, while Enrique embraced me, hugging me tightly.
“Really? We’ll all sleep next to each other? Yay! I’ll be beside Mom, Dad, and Brother!” she exclaimed, his voice brimming with joy.
We all chuckled in unison, sharing her excitement.
“If that’s what you want, little one,” Enrique replied.
It filled me with immense pride and a sense of warmth, as if my heart was being caressed by overwhelming happiness.
“What does our house look like, Mom? Dad? Even if it’s simple, as long as we’re all together,” she asked.
I was grateful to see that our child had grown content with what she had. However, we also wanted to provide her with everything he deserved.
“Our house is grand, son. But first, we’ll go to your grandparents’ house. Your cousins, grandparents, and extended family are eagerly waiting to see you!” I assured her enthusiastically.
A hint of sadness crept into our son’s smile. “I wish I could see, you know? I wish I could see the faces of my father, mother, and older brother. Even though my world is always dark, I know I’m not alone. Thank you so much! Thank you for bringing me back. I thought you didn’t want me anymore, so you gave me away,” she expressed with gratitude.
Her words pierced our hearts, reminding us of the depth of his emotions. I couldn’t bear the thought.
“Don’t say that, my child. Your disability is never a reason for us not to love you. We would never want to part with you if not for circumstances beyond our control. And Mom and Dad promise to do everything possible to give you the best. Okay?”
“Really? Thank you so much! I love you all!” she exclaimed, and we showered her with kisses on his forehead.
“We love you too, little one!”
Soon enough, we arrived at the grand mansion, where our grandparents eagerly greeted us, brimming with excitement to meet their beloved granddaughter. She radiated pure happiness, relishing in the love that surrounded him.
The entire family celebrated that night, rejoicing in the miracle of her return. We also began preparations for a grand party next week to honor Bless, as it truly felt like a miracle to have him back in our lives. We wanted to commemorate this joyous occasion.
“How do you feel now that you have a little sister, son?” I asked, curious about his thoughts on the matter.
“I’m thrilled, Mom. Didn’t I tell you before? I’m so happy that we finally get to meet her. I’ll be a protective brother to her,” my son replied, his enthusiasm shining through.
I couldn’t help but feel immense pride. It amazed me how my young child had such a capacity for understanding and compassion.
“Son, I want you to understand something important. Your sister is a bit different, and she requires special attention. Are you okay with that? I don’t want you to feel jealous or resentful. You and your dad will always be our first treasures, and we love you just as much as your sister, even though you’re younger. Can you promise not to be jealous?” I explained, making sure he understood.
“Mom, I already know that. I won’t be jealous or hold a grudge. I understand the situation. As the older brother, it’s my duty to take care of Bless. I promise,” he reassured me, and my heart swelled with love and pride.
“That’s our boy,” I beamed with delight.
The following day, we went to the mall as a family to meet with our extended family. We planned to shop for our daughter’s essentials while also taking Bless for a checkup. It turned out that our daughter was malnourished and needed to gain weight before her potential eye surgery.
Lucas and I were determined to ensure that our son’s life didn’t lose its vibrancy forever. We wanted to show her the beauty of the world and do everything in our power to ensure our daughter’s happiness.
After the doctor’s appointment, we headed to the mall and purchased a multitude of items, arranging for the mall to have them delivered. As we strolled through the mall, I caught sight of a familiar face I hadn’t seen in years.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Antoinette!” I called out, filled with excitement.
It had been such a long time since we last met, around four or three years ago.
“Zara! I finally caught you! We have so much to catch up on. Oh, is that Enrique? My, he’s grown into a young man, hasn’t he? And who is this beautiful young lady here?” Antoinette exclaimed, appearing to be alone.
“Hello, my name is Bless,” she introduced himself.
“Bless you, godmother,” Enrique said.
“Bless you, my dear. Lucas, may I borrow your wife for a little while?” Antoinette requested, glancing at my husband.
He let out a sigh.
“Of course, but please make it just an hour. The children need their rest too,” Lucas agreed, displaying his understanding nature.
I felt grateful to have such a supportive and understanding husband.
