Semua Bab Loved By The Crippled CEO: Bab 41 - Bab 50

“Ava, you’re drunk.”Liam’s voice carried both amusement and disbelief as he steadied her.Ava tilted her head, raising her brows as if the world had suddenly become funnier than it should. “What? I’m not drunk.”The words left her lips, slurred, right before she stumbled forward. Liam’s arms shot out, catching her before she could hit the floor.He chuckled, shaking his head. “You are.” After a quick glance around the hall, he pulled her inside, shutting the door behind them. With careful hands, he guided her toward the bed. “Careful now. Watch your steps.”Ava suddenly snorted, halting in her steps “You’re blind, Liam, and you’re telling me to watch my steps?” She burst into laughter at her own joke.His lips curved slowly into a mischievous smile. He was about to turn her little drunk world upside down. “I can see,” he said.She blinked at him, still laughing. “Yeah, right.”“I’m not kidding, Ava. I can see you.”Her brows drew together, her amusement faltering. “Then… then what’s

Ava's heart dropped even though the question wasn't strange. It felt as though Liam knew Kain would ask and had specifically told her not to tell him.Ava began, her words calculated “If he could, I would know. Mr. Liam still complains about pains in his temples” She concluded by saying “We are hopeful, but he hasn't healed yet”Kain stared at her, deliberately stretching the silence. Ava didn't shake, she just casually went back to eating. He let out a sigh. ‘Liam must have found a way to hide the truth from her too’She did not expect his next words.“Ava, how much do you trust my brother?” He asked, causing her to choke on her food. She cleared her throat, her cheeks suddenly turning red. She trusted him enough to wander into his room drunk. Though they kissed, nothing major happened.“To an extent” she ended up replying.Kain nodded his head “Well, he trusts you a lot.”Ava's eyes went round. “...Really?” Liam trusted her….that much? She was amused.Kain chuckled, “I mean, he owes

‘These are…’ Ava's eyes were wide open, her pupils dilated. She went through the papers again, unable to believe what she saw. There was no way.What she held were Liam's clinical records, results from his previous x-rays and surgery inspection, only these were a different record from the one she got.They had the same date and procedures, but the results were far from alike. Whereas the one she got showed that Liam had little to no chance of ever walking again….this one confirmed her theory of Liam getting a successful surgery.Her mind clicked. She quickly shut the drawer and sped out of Evie's room, her heart racing. She stumbled into Liam's room, searching for his old results.When she found them, she collapsed on his bed, her shaky gaze flickering from the first record to the second. It was almost as if…..no, she was certain that the wrong one was deliberately given to her.“This makes no sense” Ava muttered. Kain was the one who handled everything that had to do with Liam's proc

For the first time since she had stepped into the Blackwood mansion, Ava's heart felt heavy as she climbed those steps. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes staring blankly. A throb pressed against her chest, fingers trembling, dread curling in her veins. Liam wouldn't. She kept muttering to herself over and over again, almost like a prayer. Liam wouldn't betray me like this. As much as she wanted to ignore her heart, she couldn't. She wanted to shut the thought out, but it kept clouding her. The corner of her eyes crinkled. All she ever did since coming here was for his sake. Why would he pay her with evil? Maybe there was a reason. Maybe there was something she didn’t yet understand.Whatever it was, she was going to find out. While walking up the stairs, Evie was coming down. She had returned from her ‘errand’ earlier on. The moment she saw Ava, a frown settled on her face. But as she got closer to her, her frown turned to confusion. Ava's eyes were wet, her jaw clenched. Her ste

Ava stepped out of the house, her suitcase rolling quietly behind her. She never planned on leaving like this. It felt sudden even though she had served her time. The month was over. In truth, she wasn't wrong for going, but the abruptness made it sting. She simply didn't want to see his face for now and that hurt more. Liam was well enough. He didn’t need a caretaker anymore. When she reached the gates, Kain’s car pulled up. He stepped out just as she was about to pass, and their eyes locked. The look on Ava's face was unlike anything he had ever seen. She often had a sweet, happy expression, but right now, her eyes were clouded with sadness. His heart hitched. He had thought his plan to he flawless. Killing two birds with one stone. Not only would Ava's discovery and questioning lead to exposing the truth to him, but he would get to see Liam condemn himself in Ava's eyes by hiding the truth from her. But, what he hadn't anticipated was how Ava would have felt. He walked towar
