ECHOES OF LOVE 58
Liam turned to face his parents when Jordan left, he didn't even know where to start from, he hadn't expected them at all, maybe that's the reason his mom hadn't called for over a week plus now, and he had told she had finally given in, he should have known his parents will pull a stunt like this,Liam didn't like that his parents are here, no, he didn't have a good feeling about this, and with the way, Jordan acted when he had come in he could sense that his parents had talked to him, he just wished they could just leave him the hell alone and just let him make his decision as an adult."Why are you guys here?""Isn't obvious, we can't sit and just watch you die, Liam,""Dad, I am not going to die, stop talking as if I am dying tomorrow,"He responded."But you are, you are dying and yet you are not doing anything to help yourself,""Did you talk to Jordan about it? Did you tell him?"He asked hoping against all hope that they didn't speak to Jordan about his health condition, he did

She said pointing at his father who nodded. Seriously, his mom was petty."Whatever mom, so long as we are not sleeping in the same space plus I have to work so, you won't have that much time to bug me,""Bro, you don't know what I can do,"His mom responded, Liam texted Jordan just as they were leaving the house, he told him he will be back so that they can talk."Okay, which hotel are you guys using?"He asked."You know the best of the best,"His mom said."Show off,""Of course, I earned it,""Nah, more like you are a lucky lady who got super-rich parents and then got married into another rich family,""And I work idiot,"His mom said hitting him at the back of his head, it was so unexpected, she never hits him, he kind of liked it a lot, she was so damn protective that it felt like a refreshing change, he smiled to himself as he drove them to the best hotel he knew."Wait, did you guys come alone?"He asked noting the absence of someone his parents never travel without.

Jordan sat in his room, not like he was doing anything, he just wasn't in the mood to go out, Liam wasn't home yet, he took his parents to the hotel yesterday and didn't come back, he did send a text that he will be spending the night with them and that was it, no calls after that, he knew he shouldn't feel insured or whatever because he knew Liam loves him a lot and it was his parents but somehow he felt left out, when he had gotten home from his walk yesterday, he had expected to see Liam back home since he said he was just going to drop off his parents but then he didn't and late at night as at nine pm, he had sent a one sentence text, I am sorry I can't make it home tonight, spending the night with my parents,' and that was it, Jordan had at least expected him to call this morning but he didn't and when he did call, his phone didn't go through, which was the reason he was feeling left out."Let's not go there,"He said out loud, he wished Liam would at least call him, today was al

"Dad, you are not old, stop making excuses for yourself for forgetting your only child's birthdate,"He accused."I am sorry, do what brings you to our house, it is so rare to see you here, what do we own the visit?"His dad asked changing the topic."Do I need a reason to come visit my parents? This house is mine too in case you have forgotten,""Bro, you and I both know you don't come around that often, when was the last time you came here?"His dad asked, he tried to think and all he could come up with was months ago when he had brought Katrina over so that she could forget her pains when Lucas had broken her heart, now they were married and even had a kid. That wasn't so nice seeing that he was their only child but they disturb him all the time and even visit him unannounced he felt he has seen enough of them."Well I am here now, so give me food I am hungry,"He said. as he followed his mom into the kitchen, his dad came a little later, even though they must have eaten before the
ECHOES OF LOVE 62
Liam wanted to scream out his frustration, he couldn't believe he was letting his parents do this to him, he wasn't a child and he shouldn't let them treat him as one but at the same time, he was their child and one can only push their parents to some extent, yes he knew he was pushing his parents but it wasn't because he wanted to that's not what he intended, they just had conflicted choices and he knew the more time he spent with them the more they are going to nag him, in this case though, he understood where they were coming from, he was scared too when that shit happened to him, he was scared that it might be the end for him.”They are just projecting their fear on me,"He said out loud, this wasn't the first time he witness so much pain, the first had not been this severe but at least he didn't overreact like his parents were doing now."Mom, until when do you plan on keeping me here? I told you I am fine already, I don't feel any pain or ache again,"Liam said to his mom who sa

"It's not going to come back,""Really? How sure are you mom? It happened before, remember? I fucking hard this surgery before, if it didn't stop it do you think it will now?"He questioned bitterly, his parents especially his mom refuse to see his point of view, they were only thinking about helping him stay with them and they were not weighing the cons enough."Technology is better now, science has improved, medicine has improved too, the risk factor is not much anymore which is why I am sure if you can just get over yourself and do the needful we won't need to result to shits like this but the more you continue acting the way you are right now the more problem you create,"His mom said. Liam decided to just give up on making her see his reasons, it was clear to him that no matter what he says his mom wasn't going to see his reasons, talking to her wasn't helping anyone of them, even his dad isn't helping, he wasn't so overbearing but if only he could just tell his woman to leave hi

I am supposed to meet up with her?"Jordan asked confused."Yes, you are, didn't you?""No, I didn't know I was supposed to,""What?

"Wow, that's it, finally,"Mrs. Will said that after hours of going over various designers and patterns, she was professional and very helpful that it didn't seem too hard to do."Yeah, finally, you did well ma'am,""No, you did most of the work,""Thank you so much for your time Mrs. Will, and thanks for answering all my questions, I had fun today working with you,"Jordan said as he stood up to leave."It's the same for me Jordan, I always look forward to sharing ideas and working with you, good job,""Thank you, ma'am, I will get going now I still have to finish this and submit it tomorrow, we were supposed to do it today but because I forgot our meeting it has to be tomorrow,""Oh, okay, I wish you good luck Jordan,""You to ma'am,"Jordan replied, picked up his bag, and exited the cafe, it was already closing hour but he needed to finish the work today so he headed back to the office to do just that, he wasn't doing anything at home and he didn't want to be lonely neither did he
