Under the heiress facade

Chapter 749

190 The truth of her birth IV Miriam The morning I left ; the temple was quiet .

Everyone was still sleeping in their chambers from the chilliness of the early morning .

I didnt take anything .

I wanted no reminder of this place .

I stepped out into the cool dawn air , and paused , glancing back at the temple that had been my home for so long .

But now , I was leaving .

Shaking my head , to fight the nostalgia , I turned away and started walking down the path that led to the home of the midwife .

For the first time in three months , I felt relief .

I was going to start afresh , a life where I would no longer be just a priestess who had given up her child , but a mother searching for a way to heal my shattered heart .

It took me about an hour to arrive at the Midwifes house .

When I reached it , I paused at the gate , listening for sound .

I must have stood there for about ten minutes when I heard the piercing cry of a baby .

I paused , listening .

One of the doors to the room opened and the husband of the midwife emerged and crossed over to the other side of the house .

A moment later , the midwife and her husband came from the other side of the house carrying a baby .

The midwife passed the baby to her husband who was playing with her , nuzzling her with his mouth .

I stood frozen where I was hidden as I watched them .

That was my baby .

Her brown curls curled around her hair like carpet .

She was cooing , laughing at the funny noise the midwifes husband was making .

They didnt give the baby away ? I wondered silently , watching them .

After staying there for a while , I summoned courage and walked into the compound .

As soon as the midwife and her husband saw me , a small smile settled on their lips as if they had been expecting me .

You dont look surprised ? I asked .

The midwife laughed .

I knew you were going to come back .

All the women always came back for their babies and I kept her for you .

Do you want to hold her ? her husband asked gently .

My eyes misted with tears .

Can I ? C 190 The truth of her birth V He nodded and brought the baby to me .

Lyla turned , staring at me with baby curiosity .

I gently took her from the man , and a tear rolled down my cheek .

She placed her head on my shoulder , cooing faintly .

At that moment , it felt as if my heart would burst with warmth .

Every sadness that had taken me hostage seeped out as I held her .
