83 The Truth

"Marga, I just went out for a bit, there is food in the dining area, you can eat first.I will be back soon, call me if you need anything.I love you Mrs. Son, see you in a bit." then Stephen left the note in the bed headboard where she can easily see.

Stephen went out of the room after he gave Marga a light kiss on the cheek and covered her with sheets.Outside the anxious Mr. Lim was waiting for him, when he finally came out, Mr.Lim's face lit up and gestured for him to follow.They settled in his office, it was as luxurious as the hotel, given the mini bar placed on the room as well.It was also equipped with it's own fireplace and small dining area, in the middle was his office desk and a portrait on top.Stephen almost lost his footing when he looked at the portrait, the girl next to Mr. Lim it looked exactly like her wife, but upon closer look,the hair is of a different shade, and their cheeks are as not as high as his wife, but she could be mistaken as Marga's twin sister.

Stephen looked at the old man with curiosity and was really puzzled, how can this be possible, "Yes, doesn't she look a lot like you Margaret, Doctor?" finally Mr. Lim spoke in a sad tone, with a sense of longing clearly sounding."She is my daughter, Mary, and as you can see, Margaret's mother." then he turned around to see the young doctor's eyes still wide open in shock.He at least expected this, Stephen thought Mr. Lim wanted to talk about his interest with his wife, he was in fact really interested in her but not because of any other reason than being her grandfather.

"I don't understand Mr. Lim, how can this be? That woman is Marga's mother, so that means you are her grandfather? What took you so long to look for her!? Did you not care about her at all!?" he was a bit frustrated when he threw that question to the old man, he could just imagine how his wife felt when she was left alone inside the church, how Marga got scared in having any intimate relationship because she was too afraid to be abandoned again."Where is she?! How can she abandon her daughter like that, did you know how my wife suffered all these years with the thought of her being alone!!" he did not know but his voice was already very loud now, he was in fact angry now, angry that his wife's family is here together when she thought she was all alone and suffered.

"Please calm down son, let me explain" Mr. Lim urged Stephen to listen."I don't want to listen to any of your none sense, it was wrong for us to be here.I don't want to ever see you again appearing in front of my wife Mr. Lim!" when he was about to reach the door the old man shouted " She's dead! Mary, my daughter, she's dead!" Mr. Lim slumped to the floor and sobbed while heartbreakingly clutching on his daughter's photo.It was a photo taken of Mary right after she gave birth to Margaret, she looked so alive and happy with a tiny human in her hands.

"She was taken from us a day after she was born, a maid pretended to care for Mary all this time but she took Margaret, she took her...sob...sob" Stephen slowly helped the old man sit down, he actually calmed down the moment he heard the man's cries especially knowing that Margaret's mother has already passed away, he was slightly stunned by the graveness of this piece of information, how was he to tell his wife that he found out who her mother was but she has already passed..
