Chapter 239 - Capable Son

"Then how did you guys manage to escape that blast and whose bodies were those which we found?" Michael questioned him.

"Before the car blast, Ethan kidnapped me, mom and Liz. He put some fake bodies in the car and blasted it, those bodies belonged to some other already dead people and since he blasted the car, the bodies were burnt and only ashes were left so you people couldn't verify whose bodies they were" William explained.

"Fuck, then aunty?" Harry asked him as only Liz and Will were here but Will's mom was not present with them.

Will got emotional and had tears in his eyes recollecting his mother's death, James understood she was no more and he too cried.

Rachel and Harry consoled William, the other old men consoled James while Catherine was crying, recollecting the woman who was very close to her. Daniel and Jimmy consoled their mother.

After some time, William finally spoke, "I am sorry dad, I couldn't save mom, I am so sorry."

James patted his son, "Not your fault, I am glad at least you and Elizabeth are alive"

"That day Ethan first killed mom and we couldn't save her, next he was about to kill me but this time Liz managed to save me as she threatened to kill herself if he does anything to me. Ethan was crazy about her and he was threatened by her so he didn't harm me but he kidnapped me and Liz and captured us for many years and kept us as his hostage in Dublin"

"Fuck, Ethan belonged to Dublin, fuck. If we looked for him then we could have found you" Catherine shouted as she felt guilty for not finding Will and Liz

"Not your fault, you had no idea we were alive and why would you look for Ethan out of blue, so please don't blame yourself. This was all fate" Will tried to console her but Catherine was still upset.

"Then how did mom end up in a coma?" Rachel asked him.

William patted her on the head, "You were our motivation to run away from there, we once got an opportunity, so I and Liz managed to escape but Ethan found us…"

Will explained the story of how Liz ended up in coma and he then shared everything that happened after that, he told them all the events of how Liz's condition worsened and finally Ethan took them out in public and admitted her in the hospital, he told them everything till he ended up meeting Daniel.

"When I saw Daniel the first time, I remembered Harry but I thought it didn't mean anything as I kept finding people I was familiar with, in other people I was coming across but I had no idea he was actually your son." William smiled at Harry and Catherine.

"A very capable son you guys gave birth to" He praised his friends as today he was here with his family because of Daniel.

"If you didn't recognize him then how…" Catherine asked him.

"Two days later I met my daughter and I recognized her, then I got to know about Daniel and it was all clear"

William then shared how Rachel ended up donating blood to Liz and told them the details of their conversation which made him realize she was his daughter and Daniel was their best friends' son. Then he asked Daniel for help.

From here Daniel and William explained the story together.

24 Hours Back

After Daniel left the hospital, he contacted Paul, the man who is currently residing in Italy and is heading the secret organization started by Harry and Anthony.

After Daniel stepped down from the leader position of this organization, the whole organization was run by Paul.

Daniel used to contact him only if the situation ever demanded.

That day before leaving the hospital with Rachel, Daniel called Paul and asked him to find information on the Walsh family within an hour.

Then he and Rachel went to have lunch and Daniel acted all normal with her, like he always does.

"So, were you bored at the hospital, Rachel?" He casually asked her after they placed their order.

"Hmm, but you know what, something weird happened"

"What weird thing happened?" Daniel asked her curiously.

"I was roaming around the hospital because I was bored and I met your patient's husband outside the operating room. For the sake of humanity I talked to him for a while and the weird thing is he asked me many questions…"

Then Rachel told him how he asked her full name, then information on Daniel's family. How he was anxious to know everything about him.

"Rach, are you a child? How can you answer personal questions asked by a stranger?" Daniel scolded her.

"Hey, they were all basic questions like name and surname. He didn't ask me for my address and all."

"Rach but still..."

"Dan, that man looked very nice. His actions didn't make me uncomfortable but he kind of reminded me of my dad, his touch when he hugged him, it was very fatherly" Rachel didn't agree with Daniel.

Daniel was silent when he heard her words, just then a weird thought entered his mind.

William's actions, his wife, him asking for help, the day before when he was at the same university where Catherine and Liz studied, he sitting on the wooden bench which was Rachel's parents' favourite spot. All these thoughts went on in Daniel's mind.

'Fuck, how is that possible?' Daniel wondered as he felt like this man was Rachel's father who they all thought were dead.

When they were done with lunch and headed to their suite, Rachel fell asleep for some time as she was very tired and Daniel couldn't with all the weird thoughts going on in his mind. He was not sure what to do so he called his father.

"Hi Daniel." Harry greeted him.

"Hey dad"

"Dan, everyone here is crazy, they..." Harry said but was interrupted.
