Thank you for reading another Chapter ❤️
Liam stepped quietly into the hospital room, checking on the patient they had operated on just a week ago, a difficult brain surgery, one that had left the whole team tense for days. But now, the man was awake and stable.Outside the room, the patient’s wife stood up the moment she saw Liam step out.“Doctor… thank you, sir. I owe you everything,” the woman said, tears welling in her eyes.Liam gave a warm, assuring smile. “I’m just glad our hospital could do that for your husband. He’s strong. He pulled through because he fought, and your support means everything.”The woman sniffled, covering her mouth with her hand. “God bless you, Doctor.”Just then, a nurse approached with a clipboard in hand. “Mrs. Natalie A….” she paused to glance down again, “Mrs. Natalie Adams, please. Can you come with me for your follow-up?”“Oh yes,” the woman nodded. “I’ll be right there,” she said to the nurse, before turning back to Liam. “Thank you again, Doctor,” she added, shaking his hand with grati
“Ohh… please wrap all these fresh grapes and blueberries for me,” Mom Kiara said, standing beside the fruit section in the mall, before moving on to the bananas and picking a few into her cart. “While you wrap those, I’ll go check the vegetables,”She said pulling her cart away… As she made her way down the aisle, her eyes caught a woman who had just finished picking some greens into her cart. The lady raised her head briefly as she turned to leave, and something about her face made Mom Kiara slow down. “She looks… familiar,” she muttered to herself, squinting slightly. “Maybe I should say hi… just in case.” Without thinking twice, she picked up her pace, rolling her cart faster as she called out, “Miss? Miss?” But the woman answered a phone call right at that moment and stopped walking. Mom Kiara hesitated. “Maybe I’m wrong,” she said under her breath. “Could’ve been someone else.” Just as she was about to turn back, the woman shifted and turned around, still holding the phone
“Are you going to the school today?” the man asked Mr. Whimper, who walked slowly in the room with his hands folded behind his back.“Of course, I will,” Mr Whimper replied with a smirk. “Winning a child’s heart is winning a mother’s heart.”The man nodded approvingly.“Gradually... slowly,” Mr Whimper continued, “Natalie will come to understand why I’m the shadow she should’ve never forgotten. I’ve stayed alive all these years…just so she can live. Every man she ever chose over me?” He gave a chilling smile. “They’ve all ended in funerals.”“She’ll soon realize the universe isn’t kind without reason,” the man added.“Exactly,” Mr. Whimper said.“But you’re not showing yourself yet?”“Yes, ” he said “She doesn’t need to see me. She’ll only feel me…my presence, my silence, and my reach.”….……..“Don’t you think that was a bit too harsh?” Liam asked as he held Clara’s hand while they descended the stairs.“Harsh?” Clara raised an eyebrow. “Father, are you on my side or the bully’s?”“W
“Thank you, Chef,” Liam muttered, pulling off his gloves after spending five long hours in the surgery room. “Oh, no need,” Dr. Maxwell replied washing his hands. The two of them walked out together. As they stepped out of the OR, Liam glanced at Dr. Maxwell, and then he slowed his steps “I didn’t get the chance to say this properly before,” he began “Thank you. Not just for today… but for saving my life years ago.” Dr. Maxwell looked over, a little surprised. “When I lost my memory after the accident... when everything felt like a blur for those two years,” Liam continued, “you were the one who saved me. You never gave up on me. I owe you more than I can ever repay.” Dr. Maxwell gave a soft smile. “Come on, Liam... You know I’ll always be there for you. I couldn't have done anything less.” Liam nodded slowly, then paused. “There’s something else…” he said quietly. “I should really be apologising. I didn’t make it to Grandma Leta’s funeral. I got caught up in something I couldn
The morning in California came glowing with soft sunlight. Natalie rushed out of her car the moment it came to a stop in front of the restaurant. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she hurried inside.As soon as Mr. Tony spotted her, he stood up immediately.“Natalie,” he greeted, pulling her into a quick hug and pressing a polite kiss to her cheek. They both sat down without wasting time.“I...I’ve watched the video,” Natalie muttered, breathless and with a tremble in her voice….Tony looked into her eyes with concern. “How did they even get the right to release it? And why now?” she asked again, her voice rising slightly.“That’s what’s confusing me, too,” Tony said with a deep sigh. “I’ve tried reaching out to Mr. Noah, the manager in charge back then. But he hasn’t responded yet. It could be the time difference. He might get back to us first thing tomorrow morning in Canada time.”Natalie let out a long sigh and finally sank into the chair properly with heavy shoulders…“
He smiled back at her and nodded. “You’re welcome.” Isabella kept smiling up at him, her eyes studying his face. After a quiet pause, she muttered softly, “You have the same smile as me.” Liam blinked, a little taken aback. “Oh…” he said, surprised. “I see,” he added with a gentle chuckle. “My name is Isabella,” she said proudly, stretching out her small hand. “And my name is Liam,” he replied, still a bit stunned by her presence as he reached down to shake her little hand. “You must be here for your ward,” she guessed, tilting her head. “Yes… for my daughter,” Liam said quietly. “Alright, cool!” Isabella smiled. “I need to go...my mom might already be here.” With a quick wave, she turned and hurried off. “Daddd!!!” A voice suddenly broke through his thoughts. He barely had time to turn before Clara ran up and threw her arms around him. “Heyyyy,” Liam muttered, lifting her up with ease. “I hope I’m on time today,” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Hmmm…” Clara tilt
