Chapter 225 - What took you so long?

Dragging Uncle Thomas towards the couch, Silvia wiped her tears away and said," Look how red your hands have turned, I'll get some ice for you." Before rushing towards the kitchen.

George kept in coughing vigorously but his gaze never left Silvia. He saw her running back from the kitchen to uncle Thomas with an ice pack and a glass of water.

Passing the glass to uncle Thomas, Silvia said," Drink." Before pressing the ice pack on his other hand.

Placing the glass down, uncle Thomas said," I am fine honey." before taking the ice pack from Silvia's hand and tossing it on the table.

Giving her a hug, Uncle Thomas said," Don't worry about anything, you know that your dad is never going to let anyone harm you right?"

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Silvia nodded her head before bursting into tears.

She had no idea how to react and what to feel. Her brain felt numb and muddleheaded. 

" Mom, dad." Jeren said before rushing towards them.

Sabrina frowned and said," Jeren? What are you doing here?"

" What are you doing here?" Jeren asked.

Rocky took a deep breath and said," Amy, Steve take Jeren inside."

Amy nodded her head and said," Jeren let's go."

" But-"

" Go inside darling, we elders have to talk about something." Sabrina said.

Uncle Thomas frowned and shouted," There is nothing to talk, get the hell out of my house now."

" Please Brother George, I want to talk to Silvia for a while." Sabrina said.

Uncle Thomas was about to say something but uncle Herpi stopped him saying," Thomas, control yourself for a while."

Turning towards Amy and Steve, uncle Herpi gestured them to take Jeren away.

Seeing that uncle Thomas was not ready to listen to them, Sabrina turned towards Uncle Herpi and said," Brother Herpi please, I want to talk to Silvia for a while."

Walking towards Uncle Thomas, uncle Herpi dragged him to a corner and said," Thomas, I am equally angry as you are but we cannot let our anger overpower everything. Do not forget that we still have to deal with SPIRIT. Now since Sabrina is back, we can do something and ask her more about SPIRIT. We cannot let this chance go my friend. We need Sabrina to save Silvia." 

Uncle Thomas was about to say something when he heard Silvia ask," Twenty years ago, did you both fake your death?"

Covering her face with her hands, Sabrina said," We are sorry." Before bursting into tears.

" I was just seven at that time and I was alone. If not for mom and dad, I would've had a miserable life. They gave me and did everything for me that you both were supposed to do. They gave me a new life after you both heartlessly left me." Silvia said.

Wiping her tears away, Sabrina said," We have our reasons for doing that darling." Before walking towards her.

" Reasons? What kind of reason forced you to leave me alone, fake your death and just leave without turning back? Did you even think about me before doing that?" Silvia said.

Pausing for a while, Silvia said," And you know what, I don't understand why are you back? Nobody wants you to be here, even I don't so please leave before dad does something inappropriate in his rage."

" Silvia don't say that, listen to your mother first." George said.

" There is nothing to talk about or listen." Silvia shouted.

" And what do you want me to listen? H-how my so-called biological parents abandoned me?" Silvia added.

Sabrina vigorously shook her head and said," No we did not abandon you, we did all of this to save ourselves and to give you a better life darling. May be we are wrong but our intentions were pure. We are here to explain everything to you and everyone present here but give us a chance please, give your mother a chance." before walking towards her and holding Silvia's hand but before she could someone grabbed her hand and jerked it off making Sabrina almost stumble and fall.

Pulling Silvia away from Sabrina and George, Kevin shouted," How dare you touch her? And you still have the cheek to call yourself a mother?"

Burying her head on Kevin's chest, Silvia asked," What took you so long?" Before bursting into tears.

Wrapping his arms around her, Kevin said," I am sorry but don't worry because I am here now." 

Silvia felt a sense of satisfaction and ease in his embrace. His warmth was making her heart and head feel light. She just wanted to stay in his embrace and not think about anything else.

Wiping her tears away, Sabrina took a step towards Silvia and said," Please let me talk to my daughter for a while."

Kevin frowned and shouted," Daughter? You just realised that she is actually your daughter?"

Pausing for a while, Kevin added," Women like you do not deserve to be called anyone's mother. How can a heartless women like you be a mother?"

George frowned and said," Don't talk to my wife like that and who are you to interfere in our family affairs?"

" He is my son and Silvia's husband so he has every right to interfere in Silvia's affairs." Uncle Herpi said.

Sabrina widened her eyes in shock and asked," You married a Austin? How could you marry into the Austin family?"

Uncle Herpi frowned and asked," What do you mean?"

Wiping her tears away, Sabrina said," No Silvia, you cannot marry into the Austin family. You have to leave him and stay away from them."

Kevin mockingly smirked and asked," Scared? Are Mr and Mrs Lewis scared? Scared that Silvia has a backing now which she is not supposed to have?"

Sabrina and George froze when they heard that.

" You know?" Sabrina asked.

Uncle Thomas fronwed and he asked," What do you mean Kevin?"

Cupping Silvia's face, Kevin said," I'll tell you everything in detail later but for now I want you to just listen and not ask anything, okay? I'll answer all your questions when we are alone. You trust me right?"

Silvia nodded her head and said," Yes I do."

" Will you tell us what do you mean?" Uncle Herpi asked.

" Twenty years ago, they did not just fake their death." Kevin said.

Ron frowned and asked," What do you mean?"

" Silvia did not become the heir because Sabrina Green suddenly died." Kevin said.

Pausing for a while, Kevin said," Sabrina Green sold Silvia off to SPIRIT before faking her death."
