Ivy eyes narrowed in anxiety and fear. She stood up immediately along with Alexander and rushed towards where Piper was leading them to. Her heart broke into two and tears began to run down her eyes as she set her eyes on Liam who was lying on the floor like he was half dead, with blood from his nose which had stained his philtrum and drooled down to his neck.“No, Liam!” She screamed in agony as more tears came rushing down to her chin and dripping on her clothes.Alexander drew her back and held her tight.“Have you called the hospital?” Alexander queried.“Yes, I have. When I noticed that not even the water was waking him up, I had to call them and then rush down to you both. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have suggested that we leave you both.” Piper apologized, obviously looking shaken.“Let me touch my son, let me go.” Ivy screamed and was trying her best to free herself from Alexander’s strong grip.“Ivy, you need to calm down. We don’t know much about his case. What if we hold him in

“Dear Ivy, Thank you for being the best friend so far and for also being a positive influence in my life. I know I have been there with you for the highs and lows and that’s because I simply couldn’t just watch you sad and struggle on your own. Now that you have finally found Alexander, I think I can feel at peace now, because he will give you the best life ever. He is now there for Liam. By the way, I am off to a faraway place due to some reasons. You do not have to worry about me.”Ivy dropped the letter in disbelief. She knew that Piper must have left because she didn’t want to be the third who isn’t allowing us to have a private family time. But little did she know that they saw her as a family as well.Immediately, Ivy brought out her phone and dialed Piper’s number, but it wasn’t reachable.“Shit! No Piper. Where are you?” Ivy muttered under her breath as tears flowed down her chin.She dashed out of the house and checked from street to street to see if she wasn’t far aw

Night had fallen and Alexander had just closed from work. He got into his car and went through his phone. He noticed that he had missed Ivy’s calls and he wondered why she could have called him repeatedly when it wasn’t really long after they had seen each other.As he was about to call her back, a call from Bethany came up and he answered it.“Hey Bethany, I just closed from work. I will be at your place in less than 45 minutes.”“Oh, I think we won’t be able to meet tonight, Alexander.”“And why is that?” Alexander asked, out of curiosity.“An important meeting came up and I am no longer in the city. I couldn’t inform you because I had to be quick. I am back at Spain and will explain to you later on the emergency meeting. That would be when I get back.” Bethany informed, in a low tone.“But are you okay?” Alexander asked, noticing Bethany’s low tone.“I’m fine. I am going to miss you, Alexander. I wish we were able to have that dinner.”“Same here. I would have loved to taste your f

Ivy’s gaze was fixed at Liam’s body and she was trying to make sense of what was going on at the moment. Alexander walked in as he had gotten his shot pretty fast. He noticed the atmosphere and touched Ivy’s shoulder.“What’s going on Ivy?” He asked as he wondered why she was staring that way and looking a bit lost.Then Ivy looked up at Alexander and pointed at Liam.“Why is he covered up?” She asked as tears began to fill her eyes up.“Oh, Liam was actually acting stubborn today and I was about calling his favorite doctor as he wanted to see him. He was being rebellious, so he remained adamant about having the bed cover, covering his face as well.”“Mommy?” Liam called out to her in a low tone as he removed the bed cover from his face.“Oh, my goodness. Liam, my baby.” She said, in relief as she walked up to him in joy.She hugged him tight and sniffed his neck.“I missed you mom. Hey daddy!”Even if Ivy knew that Alexander was Liam’s father, she still felt cringe whenever he calls

Alexander was surprised to see his mother and his sister smiling at him.“Won’t you give me a hug, Alexander?” His mom blurted out, with a smile on her face.Alexander was overwhelmed with joy to see her and he walked briskly to her and gave her a tight hug and his sister didn’t hesitate to hug him as well.“I have missed you so much son.” His mother said as she withdrew from him.“I have missed you too, mother. And you have gotten more beautiful, Alicia.” He complimented his sister.“Oh, come on, brother. By the way, I am so glad to see you. Thanks to Bethany who urged us to make this beautiful surprise.” Alicia revealed.Alexander glanced at Bethany who was beaming with smiles and then she hugged him affectionately.“Thank you, Bethany.” He thanked her, still feeling elated about the surprise.“You are welcome. Alright, I prepared breakfast already. So, let’s get to the dining room.” Bethany notified and walked up to the dining room to offer Alexander’s mother a seat.“Thank you, my
