Chapter 74: Not ready to accept the truth
Theodore froze in his place looking at Lyra. She looked so much like his Iria, he waited so many years in solitude just to see his daughter before taking his own life. But now that he knew that both his mate and daughter were alive and safe, his rage calmed down, the following words came out of his mouth naturally "My daughter"
Lyra widened her eyes staring back at Theodore. No matter how much she denied it, the man in front of her had the same facial features as her own. Then she remembered her parents from the modern world, they looked nothing like her. She hated to admit it but sometimes even she doubted her possible adoption. But her mind refused to think about that possibility, knowing how much they loved her.
Lyra turned her confused gaze towards Blake "Who is that?"
Blake glanced at Theodore’s eager face and answered "He is your father, Lilly"
Her eyes shook "Are you out of your mind? How can you show some stranger and say that he is my father? My father is the one who took care of me for eighteen years, the one who protected me from every possible danger, the one who loved me more than his life and....." her bloodshot eyes turned towards Theodore "He is in my world, the one where I came from!"
Blake pulled Lyra towards him, trying to calm her down. The thing that he most feared finally happend, his Lilly was going through so much pain but because of him, she listened to all of his words without making a commotion. He was able to sense that her emotions were going haywire as of now. So he caressed her head and talked "Take your time Lilly, if not now I can tell everything in detail afterward, but please calm down"
Lyra sobbed in Blake’s chest "I miss them, I miss them so much"
Blake continued to caress her back "I know Lilly, I know"
As she continued to cry, her breathing got labored making it difficult for her to breathe, her mind was clouded with thoughts of her parents, she yelled loudly making everyone stunned "Please send me back! I want to see them!"
