They spread out, and began to ask people on the road if they had seen a little boy go past, alone or with someone.They received negative replies, and with each step Ivy took, her heart was pounding. She was feeling so regretful. She felt she should have taken him from the moment he was revived from his unconsciousness. She wondered why she had left him alone, and stayed away for so long. Only if she had taken him with her, then she wouldn't be out searching for him helplessly."Liam!" She called, hoping he wasn't kidnapped, was nearby, and would hear her voice.Her eyes started to water, as they approached the woods, but she didn't need to cry much. She saw him approaching them, although a tall stranger was holding his hand."Liam!" She called in anger, and ran to him. The man hid Liam behind him, and looked at Ivy."Can I apologize on his behalf? He was lost." He said."If he had stayed put where I kept him, he wouldn't be lost." She said, angry that he had caused her so much worry

Piper counted the money over, and over again, wondering how it could possibly happen. She knew she had completed twenty thousand dollars the previous night. There was no way it was less than that."What's wrong Piper?" Ivy asked, and Piper looked at her."You look like you just discovered a skull in your bag." Liam said, and giggled."Ivy, I had some money in my bag last night. It's not complete." She said. "Also, the money isn't mine, I'll be returning it today. If I can't return it, then I'm doomed.""Oh my. I'm so sorry Piper. I took a little out of it to get something for Liam last night. I'm really sorry, is that why you worked so hard last night?" Ivy asked looking genuinely sorry."Yes. But… it's okay. It's totally fine. It was for Liam anyway.""Piper, I'm really sorry." Ivy apologized again."No. It's really fine. I'm not mad. Come on, why would I be mad at you?" She asked with a smile.~"Aunt. Do you think it's okay if you lend me some money?" She asked her aunt."What for

"Sorry. I have to go." Ivy said, in a voice that was more of a whisper to Bethany, as worry filled her. Liam had been complaining of sore throats, he'd been weak, and it was the second time he was losing consciousness.He was being taken to the hospital, he wasn't breathing, all these thoughts were enough for Ivy to lose her mind. However, she bumped into a man as she made to leave. He was dressed in a suit, and looked stern."I'm sorry." She said reflexively still in that shocked whisper."You can't just leave. I don't care whatever fake phone call you just made. You will explain to me while you're here." Bethany said."I'll explain later." Ivy said, desperately, and made to move away, but was stopped by the man."She's still talking, you can't leave." He said, and after several attempts of being blocked by the man, she turned to Bethany desperately."I came here to drop his coat! That's all." She said with more force than she had intended, and Bethany took it from now. Ivy turned a

"What is that?" Ivy asked, desperate for a chance to lay her hands on the money needed for Liam treatment."I think you should let Alexander know his son is in trouble." She said, and Ivy looked even more troubled."Telling him Liam is sick, and…""Telling him his son… not Liam." Piper corrected."I should let him know everything?" She asked, unsure of how effective it might be, and Piper nodded."It's time enough. You've kept it a secret longer than you should. Now, you can't hide it anymore."You need to let him know he's a father. The father of your son." She said, and Ivy looked into Piper's eyes, trying to find the reassurance in them, that Alexander won't turn her away."Will he listen to me?" She asked, as she only needed the assurance."He has to…""Okay, I want to go to him too, because I'm really desperate, but what if he fails to believe that Liam is his? I don't have any proof of what happened that night…""Ivy. Liam is the proof. He looks so much like him, he has his DNA.

Just before the truck crushed him down in his car, he came back to his senses and drifted the car to another direction. His car spinned around, making screeching sounds, until he was able to get a firm hold on the steering wheel. Thankfully, his chest didn’t hit the steering wheel and he was fine.Alexander let out sharp gasps, and unlocked his seatbelt, then went out of his car, catching his breath. The shock he had experienced, caused his memories before he had an accident, a few years ago, to start flowing in.Alexander groaned as it was a painful process which accompanied the high-pitched sound he was hearing. He became weak and fell to the floor, still trying to get a hold of himself.“Arrgh!” He shouted in pain.Suddenly, he got the memory he was searching for, all along. He remembered the night he had sex with Ivy, in that hotel. The joy he felt and love that blossomed for her, that night. And then he remembered that he had flown to another country and when he came back, he cou
