Myra All Mine

Chapter 9

Lucas's Pov
...
I watched as my daughter played on the floor with some dolls I don't quite remember buying, Maybe Evey got them for her...

I don't know why but I felt kinda of bad for shouting at that woman, I just don't want Myra to get hurt in the long term by getting attached to someone who just wants a relationship with money and fame

But maybe she's different.....

I brushed that thought aside and tried to control this incoming headache I was getting , when I closed my eyes I could see a picture of a restaurant and a woman with....with...Myra

This must be some sort of trick my mind is trying to play on me, but it felt too familiar with thst memory

My chain of thoughts was broken by the sound of my room's door being opened and Everly and some doctors barging in, from the way she was looking she seemed furious

"What did you say to Amika....?" she said in a low angry voice obviously not wanting Myra to hear
"I told her that I don't want her involved with my daughter anymore, she was obviously feeding her lies, I mean why would my daughter call a stranger Mommy.." I fought back
"Stranger?!, Stranger??, that woman took you in and cared for you when you were injured, loved and cared for your daughter for the past few weeks you were in a coma  and she would even visit you at times..." she said while raising her voice a little

Was this true....she took care of me...but even if this is true , I have no memory of these events ever occuring...

"But..but, why don't I remember a thing of that, and I was in a coma for two weeks!!!"
"Maam, I'm afraid that our suspicions have been confirmed..."one of the doctors had said
"What is it doctor.."
"He appears to have amnesia due to the head injury which we should have noticed by now, but it seems to have skipped right through us

I had lost my memory.....no wonder nothing was making sense, but how far back had I gone

Everly has so many emotions written on her face, Anger, Sadness, Confusion , Suprise.... she then looked at me with a trace of sympathy

"For us to know how far back you have gone, I need to ask one question"Everly suddenly said
"What ?"
"How old is Myra..."
"That's easy, Myra is turning 3 this year...."I said

Everly looked like she was going to cry, but she held back her tears, and looked at me with full sympathy, the doctors excused us
"What's wrong?"
"Lucas, Myra turns 5 this year...you've gone back 2 whole years...."she says while breaking into tears
"What, but how, that's.... that's just not possible..." I said frantically
"I'm sorry Lucas, but that's what you need to know for you to manage your business, your daughter and how to apologize to Amika" she said while going back to her angry face
"But why, I didn't say anything wrong to her..." I elaborated
"Lucas, you have literally no idea how much Amika has done for You and Myra, hell even me..."
"Or was it just an act..." I added
" Tell me yourself Lucas, would anyone pretending rescue your daughter from getting hit by a car while her babysitter was God knows where, would anyone acting take care of your daughter without any payment or requesting any, would anyone acting offer to babysit your daughter in her free time, would anyone pretending buy your daughter clothes and toys, would anyone pretending take care of your daughter willingly for two whole weeks all whilist managing a restaurant and...would your daughter willingly ask someone pretending if she can call her Mommy, I don't know you tell me Lucas..."she said with angry tears

Suddenly, the guilt came rushing down unto me

I had made a huge mistake......

I had insulted someone who had good intentions for my daughter and assumed the worst without clarifying....
