Liam woke up the next morning feeling exhausted, he couldn’t say he had a good night's sleep, not when he had so much going on in his mind, he was greatly troubled and he needed to up his game and be out of the city by noon so that he will arrive at the island today, he got off his bed and headed to the restroom to wash up the event of the previous still fresh in his memory, in fact, that was the major reason why he was unable to get any sleep last night, he just felt that there was so much other things he should be doing than sleeping, which had prevented him from getting any sleep until the early hours of today, safe to say until he was done with this whole thing, he won't be getting any good night rest.While he got dressed in preparation for his journey, his doorbell rang, he looked up wondering who was at his house so early and hoping it wasn’t his family members on another mission to stop him because god helps him, he was going to be rude to them and might hurt their feelings, h
"Your dad doesn't talk about them good right? Which means he realized and left them?""Yeah, I don't remember much because I was still a kid then, but I know we almost lost everything, one time I even heard my mom telling my dad to give it all up, now thinking about it, I feel she was talking about his business, since he was associated with Sloan, anyway, whenever dad see anything related to him, he always friend and curse,""Then you don't have to be mad at your dad, he might not have the power to do anything, and he has to think if your safety and that of your family, just the way you did too,""I understand Liam, I just wish,"She lamented."Don't, the good news here is that you and I are trying to make it right, that's all that matters, okay?"He said and she nodded her face lighting up a bit."Sure, so what are you going to do? Do you have any plans?"She asked eagerly looking at him, she was the first person he would be laying out his plans to, it would have been Luca but since
Ruby let out a sigh as she walked to the reception, today had been hectic but one thing she was thankful for was that among all the accident victims, no one passed away, they were all currently occupying various rooms in the hospital, and there was barely a single bed left, and to make things kind of easy, they spoke to her unlike the women who were already in the island, which made her feel these ones were the new set, there were a few men too, not much, she had wanted to leave them unattended to but she took an oath which she couldn't overlook, she did treat them but told them they aren't to stay, yes she was mean but she didn't trust any man of the island aside from her team and Liam, well, Liam, she just didn't know anymore, it looks like he wasn't coming back for real, today was almost gone too and still no sign of him.When she had seen the people coming in, she had kind of hoped for a moment that he will be among them but when the last patch of people was brought in, she gave u
"Sorry, ma'am, it took longer than I had planned,""Fuck you, I was so scared, I thought you won't come baçk and that we will have to leave this place unattended to,""But I told you I was going to come back right? You should have a little more faith in me,"He said and she hit him again, he wasn't serious right now? Because she waited for extra four days she did her best to not think the worst for the first four days."You took way longer, and I called you but someone else took your call, how do you want me to keep blindly believing when it was looking like you did ditch us? You should have texted, called, or anything but you didn't, I hate you so much right now,"She yelled. She knew she shouldn't be shouting as there were patients in the hospital but she was just too emotional to care."I didn't do it on purpose Ruby, I lost my phone and before that, I couldn't reach you and I didn't have the contacts of the others, plus why will I disappear and not return when you are here?"He as
Liam didn’t know what to say, he just felt like a loser, he failed her, his energy was all suddenly gone, he didn’t know she wasn’t going to make it, he felt so stupid for forgetting how sick she was before he left.“Liam, stop please, you are scaring me,”Ruby said coming closer and kneeling in front of him, he looked at her, feeling so fucking frustrated and bitter.“Why? What happened ruby? Why was she put off the life support? I thought we could still save her, I didn’t know she would die,”He responded.Liam, listening to me, taking her off life support was the best decision for her, she wouldn’t have made it either way, and being made to live a little longer was more of making her suffer, so Nathan and I decided it would be best to just let her off, rather than watching her go through so much pain,”She explained, he wondered who Nathan was, he knew the other name, even though the Natha name sounded familiar, he couldn’t figure out his face or if he had seen him before."Who is
"How soon can you do that please?""As soon as we are done here,"He responded. Liam was going to reduce his bitterness towards him but then the buffalo just had to pick that moment to rest his arm on Ruby's neck, Liam looked away to stop himself from doing something stupid."Thank God you came back, we didn't know how we were going to just leave without helping, it would have been hell leaving this place and everyone behind knowing that they might not get help again, you coming back is so much more than you think it is,"Lewis said and Liam smiled at him."I promised that I will be back and yup, I am back, I could never go away and not come back,""I told you that, Doc, see now?"Sara chipped in and Liam smiled."Thank you for believing in me guys I really appreciate it and I thank you for everything that you have been doing and are still doing to help,"Liam said looking at all their faces, these people, they became people he had so much respect for, even though their job here was h
Ruby walked out of her office feeling stupid, did she really think Liam think highly of her? The jokes were on her for thinking he will take her opinion into consideration, but even if what she said didn't really make that much sense, he still shouldn't have dismissed her like that, like she didn't know what she was saying, it made her feel so less of herself, he listened to the guys talk and even thanked them for their suggestions but when she said something, he concluded that she was overthinking it."Let it go, Ruby, just let it go,"She told herself as she knocked on the nurse's room."Come on in,"She heard Emily's voice from inside, her voice reminded her of Liam being jealous of Nathan, okay maybe she had overthought that too and it was just happening in her head, she really need to keep her fucked up emotions in check, especially around Liam, they can be a team without crossing each other's part, it would do her good to expect anything."I came to get Kristen for her daddy,"R
"Sara? I thought you went to sleep already? What is it?"She asked Sara who stood at her door, she seemed to be teased which got Ruby worried, they didn't have any severe cases right now aside from the kids with holes in their hearts but they are both doing well, at least they were."What's going on Sara?""There are men in the hospital with guns, they want to see the head,"She revealed."Not again, don't tell me those idiots are back again,"She complained as she stepped out of her office and angrily walked towards the reception area, God damn if those idiots men that wanted Annette's dead body are back again to demand for it, she was going to pour them water."Doc, it's not the same men, these ones are different, I went to get paracetamol because I was having a headache and found them talking with Jane who was doing night duties,"Sara revealed making Ruby wonder who these new men were, it didn't take her long to figure out because she saw them standing close to Jane who was lookin
