LIAM’S POV:I woke up earlier than usual and walked into Mia’s room to check on her.I met her all cuddled up in the bed with the duvet wrapped around as she was still asleep.I walked closer to her and slowly sat on the bed careful not to wake her up.I checked her temperature and noticed that her fever had died down and was now mild.I sighed in relief while lifting myself from the bed. I covered her well with the duvet before leaving.“Her fever dying down doesn't mean that she has recovered right?” I thought as I slowly closed the door behind me after walking out.“Maybe I should go purchase more drugs for her in case she is still feeling cold or her fever suddenly accelerates. After all, prevention is better than cure” I thought as I walked into my room and grabbed my black card before heading downstairs.I met Anita on my way out of the house who immediately bowed in greeting as soon as she saw me.“I'm heading out for a while to go purchase some drugs for her. Tell her where I
LIAM’S POV:“Stop right there” I half yelled as I gripped the person by the shoulder and surprisingly the stranger whom I thought was a man had soft shoulders making me doubt his sex.The stranger stood rooted on his spot for a few seconds as I slowly turned the person to face me.Suddenly, he shook my hands off his shoulder before taking to his heels. I noticed him limping while running as I chased after him, making me raise a questioning brow at him.Halfway through the chase in the hospital that was already drawing attention from people, I stopped as I watched the stranger escape.No need to chase after him when there are CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the hospital.I needed to go check on Mia first to know if she was alright because her safety was now my priority.I could easily catch the stranger who entered her room while I was away because he wasn't running as fast as I expected, probably because he had a wound on his leg.I sighed as I rushed back to Mia’s ward to
MIA’S POV:I groaned in pain as I woke up and immediately shut my eyes because my vision was kinda blurry coupled with the light shining directly on my eye.“Miss, are you okay?” I heard a voice ask.I opened my eyes and noticed that the light shining on my eyes had been switched off.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” the voice asked yet again.I didn't reply as I looked intently at the person standing in front of me and asking me questions.“Blink once if yes and blink twice if no” the voice which was that of a doctor said.“I can talk” I replied while trying to sit up on the bed but a sharp pain gripped my stomach making me groan in pain before falling back on the bed.“You shouldn't try to get up for a while because you have not fully recovered,” the doctor instructed as he reached for my wrist and checked my pulse.He connected an IV fluid to my wrist before telling a nurse beside him to come to check up on me every hour.After a few minutes of instructions from the doctor, he
LIAM’S POV: I went to the doctor's office hoping to meet the doctor again but couldn't.Instead, I met a nurse walking out of there and she told me that the doctor wasn't available at the moment.I sighed before heading back down because it seemed like the doctor wasn't around.Just when I reached downstairs, I bumped into someone and the person quickly apologized while rushing off before I saw his or her face.I shrugged while looking at the retreating figure of the person hastily walking away.I don't know why, but I felt like I knew the person from somewhere and the person probably didn't want to see me that's why they reacted the way they did” I thought before heading towards the reception room to ask the receptionist where the CCTV camera room was. I was directed to a room hidden almost at the back of the hospital which was the CCTV camera room.I slowly entered the room and noticed that it was unusually empty.“Shouldn’t the security men in charge of monitoring the activities
LIAM’S POV:“I think it's high time you separate yourself from my daughter,” Mia’s mom said with a stern look on her face.I looked shocked as I stared at her unbelievably.“You don't mean that,” my mom said, stepping forward to us.“Yes, I do. I don't see my daughter benefitting anything by staying with Liam. Instead, she keeps getting hospitalized despite being pregnant” Mia’s mom retorted.I looked spaced out as I stared between my mom and Mia’s mom while at a loss for words.I didn't know how to reply to her request more like a command Mia’s mom just issued now.I can't deny that the thought hasn't crossed my mind at all, but I just shrugged it off as nothing.Now, her mom had voiced out her thoughts on her daughter's safety.I couldn't blame her after all Mia was the only family she had and it would be so painful if she eventually lost her.I thought about her command for a while and remembered the warning she gave me beforehand that I should think of what was best for Mia and ou
LIAM’S POV:“Who was it?” I asked curiously.“I think it was Charles Robert”“What” I gasped in shock at the mention of that name.“Mia, are you sure of what you saw? Maybe you didn't see his face when he took the mask off so you might have assumed him to be someone else” I rapped while staring intuitively at Mia who gently shook her in disapproval.“I'm sure of what I saw Liam, I saw his face when he took his mask off. It was Charles Robert” Mia said.I exhaled heavily as I thought of the reason Charles would try to harm me. Was it to spite me or was it totally for a different reason?“If it's truly him, then why did his shoulder feel so soft when I got a hold of him in the passageway? He almost seemed like a girl to me if not for the masculine way he was dressed” I said pensively.“What happened in the passageway?” Mia immediately asked.“Nothing, just that I saw him leaving your room while I was coming back from the restroom so I got a hold of him because he seemed suspicious but h
MIA'S POV:"No, this can't be happening!" My eyes grew wide as saucers and I stared down at the pregnancy kit in my hands."When…when did this even happen?" I stammer, panic kicking in instantly.I clutched my chest, my hands so shaky that I began to inhale and exhale to calm myself down."Okay Mia, no need to panic, just stay calm and think of a way to resolve this," I mumbled, trying hard to get a hold of myself.“Wait, how the hell can I resolve a pregnancy?” My palms instantly became sweaty,"I… I….I need to get rid of this pregnancy kit,” I stuttered."Mia, what's wrong? I heard you scream downstairs. Is everything okay?" My mum's voice resonated from the door. "Oh, no," I whisper-yelled and hastily threw the kit on the bed and tried to hide it under the sheets, but then, the door opened and my mum walked in.I quickly stood straight to avoid suspicion and hoped that she wouldn't look down on my bed."Uhh…. Nothing Mom,” I faked a smile and turned to look at her."What do you
Liam's POV:"What?" My mom and I yelled simultaneously. I stared at the unknown lady, my face immediately twists in disgust"Yes, you heard me right" the unknown lady replied, hands akimbo.This isn't my first time seeing ladies pinning a pregnancy on a guy just because of money.Sadly, I'm one of those guys because I'm considered to be the most wealthiest man in the whole of New York. And this situation has occurred more than once this month.Women will always be women. Maybe she just wants to pin the pregnancy on me to access my wealth. But hell no, I am not going to let that happen. I've had enough of this bullshit from women. I was about to speak when my mom beat me to it."Are you really pregnant for my son?" My mom asked with an unsure look on her face."Yes, I am," the lady replied, nodding slowly with her eyes fixed on me.My mom giggles, a smile plastered on her face, which infuriated me because she has never smiled at me like that since she started asking for a grandchild."
