What Lies Ahead Part 3, Chapter 65
At the General Hospital - Skye and Lorenzo were waiting for news about Gabriella, who was shot by Kim.
"Lorenzo," Skye said, "I can't believe Kim was so angry about me giving her up for adoption that it came to this."
"Gabriella thought something was off with Kim. We should have listened to her! It wouldn't have come to this," Lorenzo replied.
"Are you blaming me for our daughter's being shot?" Skye yelled.
"You always thought I would put our daughters at risk when it's you! Your daughter did this!" Lorenzo yelled.
Lila Rae came by and said, "Both of you stop it! Blame isn't going to help."
Then the governor arrived and said, "Lorenzo, I heard you stopped what could have been a horrible night."
"I did what I had to do. It was worth it," Lorenzo responded.
"I pardon you from the charges against you, but don't make me regret it because it will not happen again," the governor warned.
"I won't, Sir. Thank you," Lorenzo said.
Skye was upset and walked away.
"Thank you, Governor," Lila Rae said. "I hope your sister makes it."
The governor left.
"Daddy, that was a little harsh with Mother," a young voice said.
"Probably," Ric responded. "I'm just worried about your sisters too. I hope you don't take your pardon for granted and behave."
"I will," the young voice said.
Ric was talking to the governor. "I pardon Lorenzo; the charges will be dropping."
"Why would you do that?" someone asked.
"Because he saves lives tonight. Don't question me!" the governor said.
"Yes, sir," Ric replied.
Skye went into the church and sat down.
"Please, save Gabriella. I can't lose my baby girl," Skye whispered.
AJ came into the church. "I thought you may need someone to talk to."
"I'm sorry about Kim. She put my daughter and Monica in danger," AJ added.
"It's not your fault," Skye said.
Lorenzo thought for a moment. "He thinks it is."
"How is Monica?" Skye asked.
"She rested," Lorenzo replied.
"I can't lose my daughter. Gabriella didn't like Kim, and I should have listened to her. I just thought she was jealous," Skye admitted.
"You want to know your daughter, it's understandable," Lorenzo said.
"I understand Kim's anger. I've been there," Skye said.
"Yes, you have," Lorenzo agreed.
Elizabeth came into the church. "Gabriella is out of surgery," she announced.
