She stood there with heavy eyes, gazing at the spot where Liam had just passed. Travelers hurried by, people moving from security, and a slight bump from someone sent her straight to the floor, her gaze still fixed on the exit. Tears streamed down her face. Bystanders looked at her, gossiping among themselves. As they gossiped within earshot, "Why is that young woman on the floor, looking as though her world just shattered?" a woman with an oval head and loose short jeans asked, her voice filled with curiosity, glowered in disgust at Natalie while asking aloud "Her world has indeed shattered, my friend. I saw her trying to pass through the boarding gates, calling out someone's name with cries, but she was stopped by the security men immediately," another person with a small head and big body chimed in. "The man might have left her behind, telling lies that they were traveling together," she added. "Hahaha, this technique used by these men has been around forever. They lure you into
Natalie sat there, still confused and disturbed. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed Liam's number again, hoping he would pick up. She called repeatedly, but his phone was still off."Are you pranking me or something?" she asked, a mix of laughter and tears in her voice. She continued tapping on her phone, desperately hoping he would answer."Pick up the phone," she implored through clenched teeth and wiped her nose with shaking hands while continuing to call him relentlessly."It's okay, you've won. Please come back," she pleaded as she stood up from her seat, scanning her surroundings for any sign of him.She sat back down on the seat again, feeling defeated. "Without a word, she hastily removed her SIM card from her phone as she sent her frustration to it. She threw the SIM card on the floor and stepped on it angrily. 'How could you do this to me?' she said, weeping as she continued to step on the SIM card."…."What do you mean you booked the wrong flights? I specifically as
"It's been a long time, Karl. I haven't seen you in ages," Richard said as he walked into his mansion with her. (Karl is both Brindle and Richard's friend.) "I know, Richard. I left after your dad's funeral. I've been a bad friend," she smiled and admitted. "Welcome to my humble abode," he said. "Thank you so much," Karl said as she scanned through the house. "Wow, you've really made it," she added, sitting down on a chair. "I'm really sorry I couldn't help when your dad lost everything and you guys were thrown out on the street," Karl said remorsefully. "You don't have to worry. It's all in the past. Look at us now," Richard replied. Karl nodded and smiled at him. "How was your experience when you went to Mexico, Richard?" "Mexico?" Karl asked, looking confused. "Yes, Brindle told me you were in Mexico some time back..." "Was I?" Karl said, still looking confused about what he was saying. Brindle spotted them from the stairs. As soon as she emerged from her room, her heart
Liam sat quietly on the floor, taking slow breaths. Without a word, he stood up abruptly and made his way hastily to the exit door. "Where are you going, Liam, my boy? Talk to Grandma," Grandma Leta said as she followed him out. "Grandma, Anuskha, and Aditi will be here in the next 6 hours. Where are you going?" she shouted out. Liam paid no attention to her, heading straight to his carriage and driving speedily away. Arriving at the airport, he paced briskly around. "Victoria will be here in the next few hours," he muttered, continuing to move around breathlessly. After what felt like 24 hours, the announcement of the landed flight was made. Liam stood up from his seat, in high spirits, and walked to a flower shop, buying a bunch of roses. "I hope you forgive me for leaving you behind," he muttered as he smelled the roses. Without waiting much longer, he rushed to the arrival area to join the people who were waiting for their loved ones. After standing there for some time with
"Where are you going, Grandma Leta asked as she entered Liam's room. "Is everything alright, my love? Say something to Granny, talk to me, my love. You know I'm worried," she continued, knocking on his bathroom door. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry na. Forgive Granny for tricking you, huh? Say something, my love, hear me out" she pleaded, standing outside the door. The door opened, and Liam stood there with swollen, flushed eyes, looking emotionally drained and dressed in new clothes. "Are you going somewhere?" Grandma Leta asked, noticing his packed bag. "I'm going back to China," Liam replied, stepping out of the bathroom to grab some files from his drawer. "Why? You just came back this morning," Grandma Leta said, walking over to him. Liam continued picking up his files without saying a word. "Won't you say something to Grandma? What are you going to do there?" she asked, clearly worried, as she held onto him to face her. "I have to go look for her," Liam explained, kissing her foreh
''Sure I will help you see the CCTV''. "Pause it, pause it," Tina said as she leaned closer to watch the video at the moment when she was entering the building. "Can you replay it to 0.04?" she asked. "Wow, that was a great tactic over there," she said, smiling slightly. "She knew who I was... That was a fast move she played, whoever she is she is damn smart" Tina said, with her hands on her waist while nodding. She slowly looked down at the dress and gloves she held in her hands, shocked and frozen still, vividly recalling that day in the security room checking the CCTV... "This is the same dress," she murmured slowly, shock and disbelief washing over her, draining her energy as she grappled with the coincidence. She scanned around and spotted a red wig hanging loosely from a drawer. Walking closely to it, she took the red wig... Her heart raced with fear; this was the exact same wig the person wore in the footage. "She's the one all this while? How can this be possible?" Tina
"I just hope she doesn't come back to Canada ever again, at least not until I find out who was after her life," Rose said to herself as she moved around her room, arranging things and talking aloud. Suddenly, a knock on her door echoed through the room. ''Coming'' she shouted and walked towards the door. "Ahhhhh!" Rose screamed in fear, and the knocker also screamed, "Ahhhhhhh!" in response, equally startled. Rose quickly slammed her door closed, then opened it again, screaming once more, "Ahhhhh!" as she closed it again. Still in disbelief, Rose reopened the door cautiously and still saw Natalie standing there, she touched her "You scared me," Rose said, as she scanned around her surroundings before swiftly tagging her in the room. "What are you doing here in Canada, Natalie?" Rose asked, her voice breaking a bit. "Why are you acting like you're not happy to see me again?" Natalie replied with a slight chuckle. "Girl, come on, you know I'm always happy to see you," Rose said,
"And why do I have to move there, Director?" he demanded furiously, yet he breathed in the anger without trying to show it."Because there is a patient there who I think you can help," the chief doctor said as he signed. "I wanted to email you about it, but I thought, why don't I wait till you return so we can talk about it one on one," he added."What about the other doctors over there? There are great doctors in Canada and over here in this hospital who can help that patient too," he said, running his hand through his hair."I understand, but I believe in you, Doctor Liam. You've done it before, and I know you can help this patient recover quick, She needs the expertise only you possess," the Chief Director said, his shoulders sagging under the weight of responsibilities.Liam looked at him for a while. "What about my life here? I have to look for someone. I can't keep going away, else I might end up living the rest of my life without her," he protested, his voice breaking slightly a
