All Chapters of The Echoes Of Betrayal: Love Reborn : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“I am afraid to say this but her heart condition has become worse”, the doctor said. “Heart…!”, I exclaimed in surprise.“Wait…!doctor, I think you're mixing up results with another patient, "My daughter doesn't have any heart condition”, I stammered, my heart racing with anxiety. “Isn't your daughter's name Mia!”.“Yes Doctor, her name is Mia”.“Then that's the one I am talking about, wait..!, you didn't know about her heart condition”.My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I heard the doctor's words. My body felt weighed down by the crushing news. I stumbled back, trying to balance, a wave of weakness washed over my legs, leaving them trembling. “Doctor, can you please explain more”, Liam asked. “Mia has a very rare heart condition, Anxiety induced Cardiomyopathy, a condition where chronic anxiety and stress can lead to weakening of the heart muscle, which sometimes leads to heart failure”.“Doctor, just tell us, what is needed to treat her, don't worry about the treatm

He steadily walked towards us, and stood besides me as he reached. “What are you doing here Camilla?”, his face fell as he asked, his eyes clouding over with disappointment. Camilla stood still, staring at Liam, as a faint smile played on her face. “ Would you like to guess?”she said sarcastically. “Can you please stop your drama Camilla, please, this is not the right place, nor right time”, Liam murmured. “Ooh, so when is the right time, can you please inform me so that I don't get you in a bad mood at least for once”. We both stood still, staring at Camilla, without saying a word. Fact was I was too exhausted to argue with her, at least not when Mia was fighting for her life. “What? Why are you staring at me as if you have seen a ghost?, anyway it's okay, I know you two are just surprised to see me but I can't help it. I was missing you love!. She said as she moved closer wrapping her hands around Liam's neck. Liam quickly pushed her hands away, his voice firm as he said

“Emily, Please don't do this to me”, Liam said as he held my hand. “Why would you do that to yourself, how did that even cross your mind”.“Liam, do you remember what the doctor said, ‘Mia has reached this condition due to excessive stress, which I am sure is because of her father’, I don't want to see my daughter suffer anymore”.Liam stared at me with an unyielding gaze, his eyes boring into my soul. “Emily, you told me Harrison has never loved Mia, why do you want to take back Mia to such a man”.“Harrison seems to be a changed man”, I murmured. Liam darted his gaze back and forth, a look of disbelief etched on his face. “Just a few words from him and you are already convinced he's a changed man, Emily, didn't you learn what kind of man he is, after all the suffering he brought to you”.“What if he really is a changed man, what if I can finally fulfill my dream of a complete family!”“Are you listening to yourself right now”.“Yes I am, and I know one thing, everyone deserves a se

Liam stumbled backwards, his eyes darting between us as if searching for answers. I shifted my gaze at Harrison. “Are you done”, I asked softly. “Yes dear, I am done”, he said as he turned his gaze towards Liam, who stood stiff. “What are you two doing here alone, where is Nora?”, Harrison asked as he glanced around. “Who are you to ask”, Liam asked furiously. “Emily is my wife, we can talk about whatever we want”.“Emily is mine, she may be your wife now, but she was mine first, and I am going to take her back from you” “Don't be so sure”.“ Of course I am, right Emily”, Harrison said as he turned his gaze towards me. “Can you both stop this, you're not kids anymore”, I said, my tone firm and fed up. “Emily, you should ask your fake husband to shut up”, Harrison said as he pointed a finger at Liam. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, and I shot a glance at Liam. His face lit with surprise too, he gazed at me continuously, and let out a sigh of disbelief. “ Emily, don't tell me you

I stood still, staring at Nora as she disappeared into space. “I am not sorry”, I whispered, trying to convince myself. “ Don't you worry about anyone else, I am right here Emily”, Harrison said as he placed his hands on my shoulder. I flinched a bit, responding to his touch. “I am okay”, I whispered barely above my sobs. Suddenly the phone rang, it was Harrison's phone. His gaze flicked over the phone, then away, as if unsure what to do. “Excuse me Emily, let me take this call”. He said as he cupped his phone over the phone, muffling the conversation as he moved away. I hesitated and then slowly sat down as if unsure. I thought back to the fact that I had chose Harrison over Liam and Nora, my best friend, and the pain I had caused her by going back to Harrison. “I am sorry Nora, Please forgive me, but I had to do this, for Mia”, I whispered to myself, as tears flowed down uncontrollably. It was a difficult decision for me but I had to do it, for Mia. I had lost Nora's trust
