Approaching the reception desk, Erin took out her ID card and handed it to the receptionists, who took it and swiped it on the machine. Erin had to give her ID to the hospital receptionist as part of the enhanced security measures implemented due to the fact that two very important people were admitted at the hospital. It was important to keep them safe, so the hospital was taking extra precautions to verify the identity of all visitors and ensure their protection.The receptionist was taking time to check the ID, and apparently it annoyed Erin. She rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Where is the other receptionist? The other one is faster at this and doesn't take up too much of my time." She said, her annoyance visible in her tone.The receptionist who was clearly new to the job, looked up at Erin with an apologetic gaze, she seemed flustered and didn't know what to say. "I'm very sorry, Ms Erin, I'm still learning." Erin rolled her eyes and let out a sigh, "Well, hurry up, I don't have
After taking out his cellphone, Liam stepped out of the hospital room to make some calls. Once in the hallway, he made a couple of calls, hoping that he would be able to get Mr Rodrigo out of jail by the end of the day, despite the old man's crimes against his family.At first Liam had no intention of helping Erin's grandfather Mr Lopez get out of jail, but after that had happened, and the deal he had made with her, he didn't have a choice, and honestly at the moment he didn't care if the old man was out of jail or not. After all, it turned out that his parents were still alive, and now all he wanted to do was spend time with them.After making a few calls, Liam walked back into the hospital room. Erin and his mom were talking when he entered the hospital room. "I don't know how we could ever repay you, dear." Mrs Danvers said to Erin.At that same time, the two of them noticed Liam had entered the room, so they stopped talking and shifted their gazes towards him. Erin had a curious
Liam listened intently as his dad told him about how Erin had helped him. Dragging him away from the car before it exploded, when his legs couldn't work. And Also how she had pulled his mom out of the car, making sure the two of them were at a safe distance before the car exploded. Hearing as his dad retold the whole story, Liam couldn't help to be even more thankful to Erin. And even though they had a lot of differences in the past and they hated each other because of it, he couldn't deny that she was not as selfish as he had thought. His perception of her had changed, perhaps she had a good heart.And he was so thankful to her, because if she hadn't saved his parents then they wouldn't still be alive. Liam glanced at his dad as he lay on the bed, "Yeah, she already told me about how she had helped you." He said sincerely. However, a lingering thought crossed his mind would Erin have saved his parents if she had known they were his parents? Given her strong animosity towards him, L
Liam checked his cellphone, and noticed that the text was from Megan. And she was letting him know that she had arrived at the hospital and waiting for him at the reception desk.Taking his eyes off the phone screen Liam looked at his dad and said, "Alright, Megan has arrived and she is waiting for me outside. I'll go get her." Mr. Danvers smiled delightedly when Liam told him that Megan was there. He had been looking forward to seeing his daughter again after all this time. However, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness. He knew that there was a chance that Megan might be angry with him and Mrs Danvers for hiding the truth about them still being alive.And it would be understandable for her to be angry. After all, she had been lied to. They had made her believe that they were dead all this time "Okay, you go do that." Mr Danvers said to Liam.Liam left the hospital room and walked down the hallway. After walking for a few minutes, he spotted Megan was waiting for him ne
After Liam had informed Megan about their parents being alive, she remained unconvinced, firmly holding onto the belief that their parents were deceased. Even when Liam persisted in his assertion, Megan's scepticism remained unshaken. The idea seemed impossible, defying the reality she had come to accept. Nevertheless, in an effort to put an end to Liam's seemingly far fetched claims, she decided to humour him and agreed to his proposal to visit their parents.Gladly Liam replied to Megan, "I was hoping you would ask that." His tone carried sincerity and confidence, and it made Megan even more surprised. She was thinking, why was he so confident about it?Megan looked at Liam, analysing his facial expression as if trying to figure out what was going on in his head. The revelation Liam presented, declaring the continued existence of their deceased parents, struck her with disbelief. It was undeniably shocking to hear such a statement when the reality spoke otherwise. The idea that Li
Back inside the hospital room, Megan took a seat beside her mother on the bed, intently listening as Mrs. Danvers explained the complex reasons behind their faked deaths and the decision to keep their survival hidden from their children and the whole world. Megan knew that their family had a lot of enemies, so she tried to understand why her parents had faked their deaths After Mrs. Danvers concluded her account, Megan's gaze slowly shifted towards Liam, her expression one of seriousness. "I can't believe you were aware of this the whole time and never thought to share the truth with your own sister," she said, her tone laced with a mix of frustration and disappointment. The thought that Liam had kept this secret from her stirred her anger. Liam's eyebrows raised, displaying his genuine surprise at his sister's accusations. He couldn't understand why she would accuse him of such an act, given that he had only recently discovered the truth himself, just like she had.The tension in
As the sniper fell from the skyscraper, people on the ground had no idea what was happening. They were simply going about their night, doing their usual things. But then, the sharp sound of someone screaming from above caught their attention. Shifting their gazes to look up, they were shocked to see a figure falling from the sky. Only as the person neared the ground did bystanders discern the falling form to be that of a man.A loud thud echoed when the figure's body hit the ground. Gasps and disbelieving shrieks erupted from the people's mouths as they saw what had happened. Some covered their mouths, jaws hanging to the ground in shock, while others turned away, as they were too terrified and couldn't bear to look."What the hell happened?" A man who had just exited his car and walked over to the lifeless body asked."I think… I think he fell from the sky!" An old woman replied, her voice trembling as she looked up, attempting to see if she could see someone who might have pushed th
After Karen had asked him to accompany her to meet his parents, Liam was torn between choosing to drive Cara home, or accompanying Karen. He found it puzzling why making such a simple choice was proving to be so difficult for him. It was not like he cared if either Cara or Karen would be displeased if he prioritized the other's request. In reality, it shouldn't have been such a significant issue.Liam stole a quick glance at Cara, and then at Karen, not wanting to disappoint any of them by choosing to do what the other wanted. 'No doubt, Cara would feel bad if I chose to accompany Karen. And it's the same thing the other way around.' Liam thought to himself. Cara could see that Liam was having a hard time picking between driving her home, or accompanying Karen. And to make things easier for him, she smiled faintly at Liam and said. "Well, if it's okay with you. You can just have one of your driver's drive me home." A weak smile appeared on Liam's lips, feeling glad that Cara herse
