After hearing Kelly be so demanding, Lillian couldn't do anything but to
stare at her. She never should have stayed as long as she did. Kelly was
a detective, she was going to figure everything out sooner or later, and
now Lillian was trapped.
"I.um..don't know what your talking about?" Lillian tried to say. It was apparent how nervous she was now, not helping her cover any.
"I'm not your daughter am I?" Kelly bluntly stated.
"It's not what you think Kelly."
"What? You're not a con artist, because I'm having a hard time seeing how you could say that."
"No.you're not my daughter, but there is a good reason as to why I said you were." All Lillian could do now was pray Kelly would stay long enough to listen.
"There can't be a good reason Lillian. How did you get my name? Why do you know so much about me?"
"I don't know as much as you think Kelly. I went to the orphanage that you grew up in, and told them I was looking for my daughter. They asked me some questions and then showed me a bunch of files. As I looked through them, your's stood out. The picture they had of you, you were 7 years old in. You looked so alone, you reminded me of me." Lillian tried to explain to the obviously closed minded Kelly.
"I reminded you of you! What is that suppose to mean?" Kelly said as she stood up, obviously upset by what she was finding out.
"When I was 19, I gave up a baby girl. At the time, single parenting was frowned upon, and I didn't want to be the social outcast. So I had the baby, and then dropped it off at an orphanage the very same day. I was wondering what happened to her, I just never had the time to find her."
"But you had the time to find me! If you knew I wasn't your daughter, then why not spend that time finding her?" Kelly questioned as she began to pace around the room.
"Because chances are I wouldn't find her, at least not in the time that I had." Kelly just shot her a confused look after Lillian said this though. Despite not wanting to, Lillian would have no choice but to explain. "I'm dying Kelly.and I didn't want to die knowing my daughter was still out there, all alone."
Lillian was now familiar with the expressions that Kelly showed. She expected Kelly to be shocked by this news, but for some reason, Kelly just looked angry. Angry that Lillian had lied to her, and angry that she had been used. Lillian knew what she had done to her was wrong, but she had her reasons, and she had full intentions to explain them all the Kelly.
