MIA’S POV:I stared shockingly at Riley as she displayed her true colors in front of us.“How can she think of killing us just because Liam divorced her? So this is really how she behaves, She's a complete disgrace to womanhood” I thought while staring shockingly at her.Liam hasn't fully untied my hands yet because he was always distracted by Riley who seemed determined to accomplish her mission.I secretly struggled with the ropes binding me as Riley seemed distracted and thankfully, she wasn't noticing any of my movements.I finally untied Myself and I gasped happily when I finally freed my hands which hurt a little as blood started circulating fully on them.I still kept my hands backward as I pretended to be still tied up. I didn't want Riley to know that I freed myself as I paid attention to their conversation because Liam suddenly stood in front of me protectively.“Oh really? Then I'll show you what childish looks like” Riley said as her hands went to the trigger.We heard a s
MIA’S POV:I woke up to a space on the bed. I groaned as I covered myself properly with the duvet.I was about to cuddle Liam so that I could share his body warmth with me because I was kind of feeling cold, but too bad he had already left.I shivered slightly at the sudden wind that blew on my skin from the slightly opened window.I was too tired to get up and close it, so I just wrapped myself with the blanket like sushi. Still, I was feeling extremely cold.I placed my hands on my forehead and noticed that I had a high fever.I exhaled heavily while staring at the door waiting for Liam to come in anytime and it seemed like God heard my prayer as the door swung open and Luam walked.“Liam” I muttered weakly as he placed his other hand on my forehead to confirm that I was having fever.“I'm so cold,” I said with clattering teeth as another round of cold wind threatened to burst through the slightly opened window and blow on my skin.Liam noticed this as he rushed to close the window.
MIA'S POV:I groaned as I covered my head with the duvet to avoid the ray of sun that was shining on my face.After a few minutes, I sat up while searching for my flip-flops sleepily.I found them and wore them before walking into the bathroom. I eased myself before standing in front of the sink while staring at my reflection in the mirror by the sink.I checked my temperature and noticed that my temperature had gone down and I wasn't feeling cold anymore.I smiled when I remembered how Liam took care of me yesterday when I was sick.He looked very worried as he watched me shiver in cold and burning up with fever.“I wonder how he's fairing now,” I thought as I grabbed my toothbrush, and applied toothpaste before brushing my teeth.I took my bath after that as I wore my clothes, and applied some lip balm because my lips felt somewhat dry before walking out of my room.I stood in front of Liam’s room as I contemplated whether I should go in and tell him that I'd recovered or I should w
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
