"Stop" Antonio's harsh voice sounded from behind her. "Have you forgotten the warning I gave you?"
Her father was shocked. "But why can't she go in and see her sister, after all her sister just delivered"
Antonio's expression was unreadable as he said "I cannot allow her to be a danger to Anne"
"Danger? How can seeing her own sister be of any danger?"
Antonio was beside himself with anger "Do you even know that Anne doesn't eat spicy food? Or that her favourite colour is white? Do you even remember her real birthday?"
Stacey suddenly went pale with fear. Sensing that Antonio might go ahead and reveal all what she had done, she hurriedly stopped him from speaking further.
"Don't worry Antonio, I won't go and see my sister."
Anne's parents were speechless, but Antonio continued.
"I specifically gave you the address of the hospital when Anne delivered. But did you even bother to come and visit her? No! I had wanted you to come so I personally inform you that Anne is suffering from advanced Stomach cancer"
Her parents continued to remain in shock. Their daughter had stomach cancer and they didn't even know. Even Stacey was shocked by this bit of news herself.
"I, we ..."
"Don't bother to say anything. For the fact that both Anne and the baby are alive is still a miracle. My only request is that, if you cannot bring yourself to love your own daughter like a parent should do, then there's no need for you to ever show your face in front of Anne again. She will definitely get all the love and care she needs from me"@@
