Chapter 217 - 212

Ivanov approaches violet and she holds Otis close to her.

"Violet" calls Ivanov and sees she has a confused look on her face.

"Dada" calls Otis and tries to reach Ivanov but violet doesn't let him go.

"Violet are you okay?" Asks Ivanov worried as violet didn't look like herself. 

"A baby needs a mother. I will protect him. No one can harm him" she says.

"Yes. You protected him. Now come, let's go" says Ivanov and reaches for Otis again but violet doesn't let go of Otis. 

Ermanno rushes in the room and says "come on let's go. What are you waiting for?" 

"Come on violet," says Ivanov and tries to reach for Otis again and she bites his hand.

"What the f.u.c.k?" Screams Ivanov.

"What's going on, man?" Asks Ermanno.

"I don't know?" Says Ivanov.

Otis tries to get out of violet's arms and she says "Otis don't go" 

"Mama, ois wan dada (mama, Otis wants dada)" he says and violet looks at him puzzled and then looks up at Ivanov.

"Hey, it's alright," says Ivanov and holds Otis's hand and slowly pulls him towards him.

Violet watches Otis hug Ivanov.

The room starts to spin for violet and before she would fall on the floor Ermanno holds her.

Ivanov carries Otis out of the room and Ermanno carries violet.

Ivanov looks at Jessica who was pushed into the police car.

Ermanno hands violet to the paramedics and they pull her in the ambulance.

"We need to inform her family. Do you know her family?" Asks a cop.

"Yes, she is the daughter of Liam Davis, her full name is Violet Davis," says Ivanov.

Liam Davis, Rick Davis and Selena Davis rush into the hospital to find Ivanov, Remy, Elisio, Sabrina, Ella and Isaiah. 

"Where is our daughter?" Asks Selena with tears in her eyes.

"She is inside. The doctors says she may have a concussion. So they are looking in to it" says Isaiah.

"What happened?" Asks Rick and Remy tells them what happened.

Selena hugs Liam and cries aloud.

"I knew something was wrong when she didn't pick up my phone. Oh god, my baby" she cries.

Liam was consoling Selena when he notices Elisio looking at him.

"You have some explaining to do. Why was your daughter in our house as a nanny?" Asks Elisio.

"Nanny?" Says Liam and Rick together.

Selena stops crying but hides her face in Liam's chest.

"Selena" calls Liam.

Selena leaves Liam and looks at everyone. She notices Rick staring at her.

"Why was she near a child? You know how she gets when around a child." Says Rick with anger.

"That's the only job she could find and liked. She was really happy with the job and she was aware she is only a nanny who had a job to take care of the baby" says Selena.

Rick looks at Liam and says "I will finally kill your wife."

"I want to kill her a little too," says Liam looking at Selena and continues "why did you lie to us? I trusted you. You said she is working at an old-age home"

"She was happy," says Selena.

"Are you done with your family drama and mind to explain to us what's going on. And let it be the truth" says Elisio.

"My daughter left our home to prove to us that she can be self-dependent. We were informed that she was working in an old-age home where outsiders were not allowed. And I blindly trusted my wife to tell me the truth" says Liam and Selena look down on the floor.

"You want us to believe you didn't send your daughter to our house to take information from us?" Asks Isaiah.

"I have been know to do honest business and so was my father and have been teaching my son the same. I don't care if I don't get to be your partner. But there is no way I would allow myself and my son to cheat or play tricks to do business" says Liam.

"I believed in your honest business and trusted you enough to send an offer from my side to be partners. But I can't ignore what's happening here" says Elisio.

"I don't care if I don't get to be a partner  but will never accept dishonesty or cheat from our side." Says Liam.

Elisio smiles and nods.

"What's wrong with her?" Asks Ivanov.

"She is perfect," says Selena.

"Aren't we all?" says Elisio.

"What do you mean?" Asks Rick.

"She makes Otis call her mama and gets all protective when it comes to him. Even now she didn't let go of him when I wanted to hold him. Hold my own son. I have also noticed a strange behaviour which I can't put a finger on. What's wrong with her?" Asks Ivanov.

"She is only being a good girl and every woman has a motherly instinct which she showed for Otis," says Sabrina.

"Not all women have motherly instincts mummy. Diana doesn't" says Ivanov and Sabrina sadly nods.

"When violet's mother died she was too young and was very rebellious. No nanny could control her and no playschool accepted her. I was getting frustrated and out of my anger would leave her unattended for a long time. And though I knew some nanny's that I hired were being abusive and didn't really give her the attention and love a 4yr old needed I ignored it and concentrated on my work. Which lead to her being scared all the time and her mental health started to get affected. It's only after Selena started taking care of her she started improving. Violet was slowly starting to get better but a lot of damage was done. It took us almost forever to get her to be normal. We homeschooled her and she played and stayed with only Selena. She started idolizing Selena and wanted to help kids like her who don't have a clue what's happening and only want love. She started volunteering for child welfare NGO's. But that only worsen her mental health. After realising children go through even worse than what she went through she didn't even want to live. She said she didn't want to live in a world where children suffer" said Liam.

Sabrina, Ella and Selena started crying listening to what violet went through.

Selena looks up at Sabrina and says "she only needed a little love. I tried my best to give that innocent child all the love I was having. She is perfectly fine and all she ever wants to do in life is return that love to a motherless child. She knew Liam and Rick would not agree so she told me to lie. There is nothing in this world I can't do for her. Though I never gave birth to her. I have loved her like my own child" 

Sabrina busts out crying and hugs Selena and says "you saved a child. God bless you and violet is perfect. She has given Otis the love her own mother could not"

Ella hugs Isaiah and cries.

Elisio pulls Sabrina towards him by circling his one arm around her waist and says "enough crying Fiore" 

"Elisio.. " starts Sabrina in between hiccups and he says "I know, now stop crying now. You too Ella"

Ella hugs Isaiah tight and tries to stop crying listening to Elisio call her name.

Elisio gives Sabrina his handkerchief and she looks at him.

"Really?" Asks Elisio.

"I.. I..have wet.. wet wipes.. in my ... My purse" says Sabrina in between hiccups.

Elisio shakes his head and says "then clean up" 

Sabrina removes wet wipes and gives one each to Ella and Selena.

"I don't use someone else's handkerchief too" whispers Selena to Sabrina and both smile.

After a few minutes, the pediatric doctor  who was examining Otis comes out and says "he has no internal or external injuries but the event has shaken him. He is sleeping for now and you can take him home any moment" and Ivanov thanks him and he leaves.

Next came out the doctor who was examining violet.

"She took a lot of beating and took a hard swing on her head too. She has few bruises all over her body and few on her face too. We have done a brain scan and there are no internal injuries. She may have a concussion when she was bought in but is fine now. She are resting now and when she wakes up we have more test and if everything is normal, she can leave." Says the doctor and leaves.

Elisio, Sabrina, Ella and Isaiah go in Otis's room and stay with him.

Ivanov and Remy stay outside with the Davis's.

"Violet really likes you," says Selena to Ivanov.

"I am thankful to her for being with Otis. But I still have doubts about her passing information of the tenders." Says Ivanov looking at Rick.

"We can't prove our innocence. And we understand how all of this looks. So, we wouldn't blame you if you don't make us partners. But as dad said we will never accept that we cheated. We stand by our morals" says Rick.

Ivanov was about to say something when a nurse comes out and announces that violet was conscious.
