“I…” Ava found herself stuttering. She wasn't a very good liar and hadn't anticipated Thelma's sudden appearance. But she tried to keep her cool. “I thought I'd do a little shopping for some food items.” “Oh?” Thelma raised her brows. “In that case, I'll send someone to drive you” “No need” Ava answered almost immediately. “James will be taking me so don't worry about it” Thelma nodded, her smile unconvincing. She wasn't happy with the new arrangement Ava brought in. Ava was now cooking all of Liam's meals, which meant she could no longer keep her eye on what and when he ate. She balled her fists. She shared her thoughts with Kain, but he didn't seem to think of it as anything. He called it a mild sum to his great plans. It was annoying. Once Ava got outside, she let out a sigh of relief, but it was short-lived as Kain sighted her from a distance. She flinched when he called out. “Sneaking off again?” He joked as he drew closer. Ava stopped in her tracks to face him. “I just nee

Ava didn't understand why Kain suddenly chuckled. He sat up. “Oh, you mean Evie? Why she's my fiancee,” he smiled. “Eh?” Ava's jaw dropped. Fiancee?? “By your expression, I can tell you didn't know,” said Kain, still smiling. “Well, it hasn't been made public yet, so how would you know?” He laughed. “I know now,” Ava said. So Evie, the blonde woman, is engaged to Kain. So what's her problem with Liam? Kain noticed the inquisitive look on Ava's face. “Is that all you wanted to ask?” Ava snapped back, replacing her inquisitive look with a smile “I've been curious for days now. At least I know who she is. Congratulations” she said “Thanks” Kain responded, hiding his disappointment. “What do you say we have lunch together tomorrow?” He asked. “Uh…” Ava was reluctant. “Will Evie be okay with that?” She looked like the kind of woman who would freak out when she found her man with another woman. Ava didn't want to get caught up in couple drama. The love thing wasn't for her, she believ

“The truth is, I got an employment suspension, and I needed the job at the moment. Believe me, I had no idea who I would eventually care for,” Ava responded truthfully. “Hmm,” Finn sat in a short silence. He held his chin. The woman was a doctor? An orthopedic surgeon at that. Why would they employ her?? “And you believe he can walk again?” He asked. Ava nodded. Her eyes filled with determination, she added “I know Mr. Liam's state in the Blackwood household, and I think I want to help him” ‘On what cause? What will you gain, Doctor Patel?’ Finn studied her while pondering deeply. “You know….this doesn't concern you in any way, right?” Ava already had a comeback “You and I have something in common, Doctor Louis. You and I both save lives. We strive so that many can live comfortably. I can't sit back and watch when I know I can do something” ‘What a convincing speech’ said Finn inwardly. He had every reason to suspect that she had an ulterior motive. For all he knew, she could hav

Evie's suggestion made sense so why was Kain hesitating? Evie's eyes narrowed when he said “No, I can't have her fired” “What?” Thelma panicked. “What are you saying, Kain? If Ava is a doctor, she might have us reported. She'll gather evidence against us, and we might not be able to—” “Shut the fuck up, woman, and let me think” Kain hissed. Dismissing Ava wasn't an option. Kain was certain that out of the other women who had come to take care of Liam, Ava was the only one who had gotten through to him. Even if it was just to an extent, Liam trusted her. She had been nothing but kind and tolerable to him. Kain knew Liam would eventually get attached. He couldn't fire Ava now, it'd mean he'd have to start all over again. Kain began to think of Ava's situation as a challenge. The petty women who had come were too desperate they'd even kill Liam at the right price. Ava was different, she wanted to help genuinely. That was why Kain needed her to be his pawn. He would manipulate her an

Liam bombarded her with questions. “Just so you know, I'm still angry with you, but I won't leave you in the dark,” said Ava “Who are these people?” Liam asked again. Ava explained as much as she could to him, intentionally leaving out the part where she would be the one conducting his surgery. Liam was left short of words. He felt the weight of guilt crushing him slowly. This was the reason why Ava agreed to Kain's invitation for dinner. It wasn't what he thought. He felt bad for his outburst. He was still left to wonder why Kain agreed to it all. What were his plans this time? To crush his legs further? Liam didn't say a word throughout the process. He only listened to how coordinated Ava was with the professionals almost as if she was one of them. She really didn't lie to him. Everything she had been doing was for his good. She cared, but he was the one who doubted her. She seemed so excited about the fact that he might be normal again. He wondered why she was putting in so m
