Illusions

Ry pov

I tried to compose myself as I the whisk away my daughter to prepare for surgery. Through out the night Lily had woken up and complained about her stomach hurting and ultimately threw up and she couldn't stop throwing up.

I didn't know what to do so I brought her to the hospital. They had determined she had appendicitis and it was only a matter of time before her appendix burst so they decided surgery was the best option.

I was so scared for her and for me but I knew I needed to call Gio because he was her father.

When Raula answered the phone I don't know why it made me upset. But I had no time to talk to her about my disdain towards her.

That's when I noticed Raula behind him. Once again I didn't have time for this. Her hair was a mess and she looked as if she had just thrown on clothes.

"Are you okay?" Gio asked, concern on his face which made Raula grab his arm as if to mark her territory.

Bitch please I don't want your man.

I saw Mykael walking up to me at the same time the doctor did.

Mykael reached me first and he and Gio kinda sized eachother up. Gio have me a look which I didn't understand because he was with Raula.

When he approached he kissed me on the forehead as the doctor reached us right after he said "Lilliana's surgery was" ...
