31: Hospital

Lyra’s POVThe air inside the International Hospital was cold—too cold. The white fluorescent lights hummed faintly above me as I sat on the hard plastic seat near the reception, my fingers curling tightly around the hem of my gown. Rafi sat beside me, flipping through a magazine she wasn’t reading. Her presence calmed me. She’s been the only one by my side lately. The only one who didn’t look at me with pity or guilt in their eyes.But still, even her comfort couldn’t stop my leg from bouncing nervously.It had been over an hour.I shifted in my seat for the third time in five minutes and glanced toward the entrance. Nothing. No sign of Lucian. No sign of Lillian.I inhaled sharply and let the breath out slowly. Maybe he changed his mind. Maybe he ran away with her. Maybe he’s scared just like me.I turned toward Rafi.“I think I’m going back now,” I said flatly, reaching for my bag. “I can’t keep sitting here like a beggar waiting for someone to show up.”Rafi didn’t look at me. She

And it's confirmed that Lillian is my daughter.The words spun around in my head like a violent storm refusing to settle. My knees gave out before I even realized I was falling, the cold marble floor meeting me with a dull thud. I didn’t cry. I didn’t scream. I just sat there—numb, paralyzed, heart cracking in places I never knew existed.Rafi dropped to my side in an instant. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders, her voice trembling.“Lyra, are you okay? Please talk to me.”But I couldn’t answer. My throat burned like I’d swallowed fire, but the words wouldn’t come. They were trapped—buried somewhere beneath the memories that had begun to crawl back, memories I’d locked away for so long. I didn’t even look at Rafi. I couldn’t. My eyes were fixed…on Lillian.She sat just a few feet away, legs swinging freely from the edge of the hospital chair, completely unaware of the earthquake that had just ruptured my world. Her small fingers gripped Rafi’s phone, her face alight with the cartoon

33: Shintla?

“Lyra, what do you want to check on a male thigh?” Rafi asked, his brows furrowed, confusion thick in his voice. “Just leave me alone.”The hospital room was too quiet. My heart thumped louder than the beeping machine beside the bed.Why were they all acting like I was being irrational? Why were they trying to stop me?I clenched my fists, my breath shaky, my chest heavy.What are they hiding from me?My eyes burned as I glared at Lucian’s covered thigh. “Why are they not letting me check? What’s there in checking a male’s thigh?”My voice cracked with rage and pain. I didn’t wait for anyone anymore. I grabbed his trouser and pulled it down—not completely, just enough.Just enough to see what I needed.There it was.A scar. Thin, pale. A scar I had memorized in flashes. A scar from that night. My breath hitched, like someone had pulled the air from my lungs. The room started to spin around me, my knees felt weak, and my stomach turned.I stumbled back one step. Then another.No. No. N
