Chapter 420: This Is All So Complicated"Hey, Jewel! How are you doing? Are you free to talk right now? Are you out of there?" Tom asked immediately after she received the call.
"I'm alright. I was just about to call you," Lucy said as she stood from there and approached the guest bedroom which she had gone into the other time to use the restroom.
"Good then! I'm at the office right now and I need to understand what you said earlier. What did you mean when you said that person was Harry's mom?" Tom asked curiously.
"Things are a lot more complicated than we thought. Harry's mom isn't dead. She abandoned them days after giving birth to Harry. Aaron lied to Harry because he didn't want Harry to grow with the pain of abandonment, and now he's scared of telling Harry the truth knowing how Harry feels about being lied to by those he loves," Lucy explained, and Tom sighed.
He had already figured out that much about Sara or whatever her name was already. He didn't need any physical evidence to know that it was true. That Sara lady looked like someone who was capable of doing something like that.
"So what does she want now? Why does she keep bothering Aaron?" Tom asked with a frown, feeling sorry for Aaron who had to face a coldhearted witch like that again.
"She wants to meet Harry and be introduced to him as his mother. Although, I have a feeling that this is related to her ailment. She is ill and I think she might be in need of a transplant. What is Harry's blood type?" Lucy asked thoughtfully since she knew a thing or two about medical stuff thanks to all those big medical textbooks Lucas used to leave lying around the house sometimes.
"O negative," Tom said, and Lucy smiled. That definitely explained it. The universal donors. Her mother too was an O negative, and she could bet Sara knew of it.
"I think she is trying to get back into their life because she needs a transplant," Lucy said more firmly now, and Tom's face contorted with anger.
"She wouldn't dare! She won't dare do that to Harry or Aaron! I won't let her!" Tom growled angrily.
"Don't worry. I had a little chat with her and..."
"You had a chat with her?" Tom asked, his anger turning to surprise.
"You definitely couldn't have expected me to leave Aaron in his state to face her himself, did you? Besides, I also had something I needed to confirm," Lucy explained.
"Lucy..."
Sensing a scolding coming next, Lucy decided to shock him further and make him forget the scolding, "Remember the daughter I told you Aaron was asking for in his sleep?" Lucy interrupted.
"Yes. But Lucy..."
"She happens to be Harry's twin sister."
"What the fuck? Harry has a twin sister?" Tom asked in disbelief unable to believe what he had just heard.
"Did that crazy person take the girl with her when she abandoned them?" Tom asked, beginning to believe it was possible to despise someone more than he despised Anita and her family.
"No. It's worse than that. She lied to Aaron that the girl died at birth, but she actually sold her off to a wealthy couple. Aaron doesn't know this yet," Lucy said, and Tom who had been pacing around his office paused and lowered himself onto the seat closest to him.
"She did what?" Tom asked weakly, not knowing whether he was feeling more sad than angry right now.
"You heard me, Tom. She sold off their daughter. Aaron thinks the child is dead, but I just confirmed from Sara today that she didn't die," Lucy said as she waited for this to sink in before she would continue.
Tom's eyes darkened with anger, "Who is she, Lucy? I want her names. I want every detail you have about her. I'm going to ruin her life and take everything from her. I will do everything I can to make sure she pays for making the mistake of hurting Harry and Aaron in this manner. How can she have the guts to show up after the evil she committed?" Tom asked, his entire body trembling with rage.

"That woman is my aunt, Tom," Lucy said, and this time Tom rose from his seat in shock.
"What are you talking about?"
"She is my mom's twin sister. I found out about it when I saw the picture of her, and that was why I got involved and had to speak with her," Lucy explained in a flat tone, somewhat ashamed by the admittance that she was related to a person like that.
"Your mom has a twin sister? You never mentioned it," Tom pointed out, and Lucy sighed.
"I've never met her until today either," Lucy said and went on to explain what happened between Sara and her mother, and how both ladies were estranged.
"WOW! I can't believe any of you are related to someone like her. It's frustrating that evil people like that exist who are breathing the same oxygen with us!" Tom exclaimed in annoyance as he walked over to his window, not sure of what to think or how to feel.
"How did you get her to tell you what she did to Aaron's daughter? Is she aware that you're her niece?" Tom asked after a moment's pause, and Lucy explained what had transpired between her and Sara.
"That was a risk you took there, Jewel," Tom said, feeling worried about her getting involved with someone as evil-hearted as Sara.
They were yet to deal with the Miller family, yet another person had crawled out of hell's hole to cause a different sort of problem for them. He knew without a doubt that this was going to shatter Harry, and he wasn't looking forward to the day when Harry finds out.
"It was a risk I had to take else we would never have known the truth. I thought the whole childbirth thing sounded suspicious so I decided to act on my hunch," Lucy explained.
"Did you say you have the recording?" Tom asked, and Lucy affirmed.
"Can you send it to me? I will love to listen to it."
"Alright. I will do so after the call. I don't have to tell you that you can't tell Harry about any of this, right?"
"I'm not stupid," Tom said, feeling slightly offended by her question.
"You can't tell him about my relationship with him either," she reminded him, and Tom paused when it suddenly hit him that his best friend and his girlfriend were cousins.
"Oh, shit! You're cousins?"
"I guess so," Lucy said, and Tom groaned.
"Now Harry is never going to let me be. I just know he's going to go on and on about it when all this is over," Tom complained, and a ghost of a smile played on Lucy's lips.
"That's not all, Tom," she reminded him since he seemed not to care about Harry's missing twin sister.
"There is more? Are you going to tell me you are Harry's twin sister too?" Tom asked with a frown, and Lucy almost laughed.
"Jade thinks Candace might be related to Harry's mom..."
"Jade? Please tell me you didn't tell Jade about this?" Tom asked in a slightly alarmed voice.
"No. Calm down. I'm not stupid," Lucy said in a similar tone as he had done, before going on to explain what had transpired between her and Jade, and what she thought about Jade's theory.
Tom sighed, "Oh, man! This is all so complicated," Tom murmured as he ran his fingers through his hair at the thought that he was not only dating Harry's cousin but may also have been housing Harry's twin sister and nephew in his home this whole time without knowing.

He remembered how Harry had talked about her the previous night and asked questions about the kid, "Can you get their DNA samples? I could have someone take a look at them quickly," Tom said, and Lucy nodded.
"Sure. I'll do that," Lucy said with a sigh.
"So what is Aaron's plan? When is he going to tell Harry about everything?" Tom asked curiously.
"After the weekend. He wants to have a normal weekend with him before telling him the truth," Lucy explained.
"I guess I'll have to cancel my plans with Harry. I was supposed to hang out with him at his place on Saturday after dropping you off at the foundation," Tom said thoughtfully.
"I thought you were going to spend the day with Jamal?" Lucy asked, and Tom groaned when he remembered something else.
"That means Jamal might be Aaron's grandson?" Tom asked, his eyes lighting up at the thought that Aaron had a grandchild.
"Only if Candace turns out to be Harry's twin," Lucy explained.
"I was going to take him there with me. Maybe I shouldn't..."
"I think you should. There is no reason Jamal shouldn't be there to keep Aaron company while you hang out with Harry. Jamal will be a good distraction for Aaron," Lucy said thoughtfully.
"Besides, I'm sure Harry would like to see the kid. Remember how he was asking us about him last night? And he even joked about you bringing Jamal to him if you don't want him," Lucy reminded Tom.
"Alright. I will take him with me when I visit them on Saturday. For now, you should try and get their DNA samples. If we do the test and it's not a match then we can proceed to hire an investigator to look into it while I have someone look into Candace's case too. But if it's a match, then we may just have killed two birds with a stone," Tom said, and Lucy agreed.
"Sure, I'll do that."
"Thank you, for doing this, Jewel."
"You don't have to thank me for doing it. I'm involved now, remember?" Lucy asked, and Tom sighed.
"You're going to have to tell your mom about this, right?" Tom asked when he remembered what she had said about her mother being estranged from Sara.
"That will have to be after I've told Aaron and Harry about it. They deserve to know first," Lucy said, and Tom nodded.
"That's true. How are you feeling about all of this? Are you okay?" Tom asked with concern.
"I'm upset. I feel both angry and sad for Aaron. He lost twenty-eight years with his daughter, and if for any reason Candace turns out to be his missing daughter, his regret won't be just about lying to Harry anymore, it will be believing Sara's lie that his daughter was dead and having her live the way she did like an orphan when she had a loving father like him," Lucy said as tears gathered in her eyes.
"He is going to be broken, Tom. And it's going to take a lot to help him and Harry through this. I feel sad. And I feel even more terrible because the woman behind all this is related to me," Lucy said with a sniffle.
"We will be here to help them through it. Let's do what we can for them, and after they're able to sort out their emotions we can all take care of Sara," Tom promised and glanced at his phone when it beeped with an incoming call notification from Barry.
"Barry is calling," Tom informed Lucy.
"Alright then. I should let you go now. See you later."
"I love you, Jewel. Very much."
"I love you too, Ace."
