As the doctor approached Liam and everyone, a sense of anticipation filled the air. Mrs. Wolfe, her expression filled with worry, asked the doctor. "Doctor, how is she doing?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly as she closed her eyes, bracing herself for the answer. The possibility of receiving bad news weighed heavily on her. She feared that the doctor might deliver bad news about Karen.Not only Mrs. Wolfe, but everyone present was gripped by fear as they awaited the doctor's response. The tension in the air was evident, each member of the group silently praying for positive news about Karen's condition. Liam felt his heart pounding in his chest, his eyes fixed on the doctor, desperately hoping for reassurance that Karen was okay. The possibility of losing her was too much to bear, and the thought sent a chill down his spine. Time seemed to stand still as they waited anxiously for the doctor's answer, their fear threatening to overwhelm them.To everyone's relief, the doctor's
Everyone was surprised when they heard Shannon say that she might be the reason Karen had gotten shot. “What?” Mrs Wolfe exclaimed, eyeing Shannon with a perplexed gaze, not understanding what she was saying. Indeed, Shannon's realization was very accurate. The shooters had targeted her, not Karen. However, Karen's proximity to Shannon had inadvertently saved her life, as the assailants missed their intended target and shot Karen instead. Additionally, Shannon was fortunate that the assailants chose not to step out of the vehicle, likely fearing the imminent arrival of law enforcement. Their departure without completing their sinister task also spared Shannon from further harm.“What do you mean?”Liam asked, his tone laced with concern as he processed Shannon's unexpected confession. His mind raced with questions, as he tried to piece together how Shannon could be involved in Karen's predicament.Everyone turned to Shannon, their expression puzzled after hearing what she had said reg
Karen had almost died because of some guy named Curtis who had ordered a hit on Shannon. And apparently his men had failed to assassinate Shannon but instead shot Karen and she had almost lost her life. While glad and greatly relieved that she was alive even after getting shot and falling into a coma, Liam couldn't help feeling fearful when he imagined what if the worst had happened?What if she hadn't made it? The thought clawed into him, a vision of her falling, eyes lifeless. Just thinking of the possibility made Liam fear shivers run down his spine. Karen had become a very important person in his life, and he didn't want to lose her. Love was a dangerous word, but he had to admit it, it was what he felt for her.The possibility of Karen succumbing to her injuries haunted Liam. The mere idea that her life could have been taken because of Curtis's hired gunmen fueled his anger and resentment towards him. Even though Karen was not the intended target, she still got shot, and Liam co
A little while later, Liam arrived at the exact location Mr. Martinez had disclosed to him, his mind consumed by a single intention: to find Curtis and exact vengeance for Karen's condition. He was enraged and consumed by a burning desire for retribution. And everytime he thought of Karen and what she must be going through on that hospital bed his anger intensified, making him want to get revenge for Karen even more. Liam's thoughts were clouded, and he wasn't thinking as rationally as he should have been at the moment. All he could think about was inflicting pain upon the person responsible for his fiancée lying in a coma.As Liam arrived, he swiftly packed his car with determined efficiency. However, as he was about to set off towards the warehouse, something caught his attention. With a slight frown, he glanced in the direction of the disturbance, only to be met with a surprising sight. More than five cop cars and trucks were parked outside the warehouse entrance, and the area was
Arriving at the hospital, Liam hurriedly made his way to Karen's room, his heart pounding with worry after receiving his mom's urgent call. The sense of urgency in her voice had left Liam fearing the worst, wondering if something bad had happened to Karen in the hospital. As he entered the hospital room, Liam's anxiety peaked,.and he couldn't help imagining the worst. However, to his immense relief, when he entered the room and darted his gaze towards the bed, he found Karen lying in the bed with her eyes open, listening to Mrs. Danvers and her mom speaking to her. A wave of relief washed over Liam as he observed Karen's alertness, reassured that she was awake and seemingly on the path to recovery, just as the doctor had predicted.A smile of relief and happiness spread across Liam's face as he approached the bed. His worries eased as he reached out to gently grasp Karen's hand, feeling grateful to see her awake and responsive.Liam pulled up a chair beside Karen's bed, his gaze soft
A few weeks later, following the incident that landed Karen in the hospital, she was finally discharged from the hospital as her recovery had progressed smoothly. Remarkably, after some days had passed she had even returned to work, her determination shining through.Meanwhile, around that same time, Mr. Danvers and Liam, determined to not let Curtis get away with Karen's situation, had ensured that Curtis faced the full consequences of his actions. And it was as Liam had expected: Once he had gotten arrested, Curtis had tried to use his wealth and influence to get himself out of trouble, however to his dismay that didn't work, apparently he was dealing with the Danvers family, a family much more powerful than his entire empire.Despite Curtis's attempts to leverage his wealth and influence, Mr. Danvers and Liam had ensured justice prevailed. Curtis found himself convicted and sentenced to a lengthy prison term, a fitting end to his misdeeds.Seated in his bedroom, Liam was engrossed
Upon finding what she was looking for, the maid had a relieved expression across her face. She quickly tucked the ring away, murmuring. “Okay, now, let's fix this mess.” She immediately got back to rearranging everything back in its place.Minutes later the maid came out of Liam's room, purposely walking down the hallway. As the maid stepped outside the manor, into the garden, she let out an audible sigh, clutching her chest as she felt even more relieved that she had successfully gotten the ring from Liam's room without getting caught. However, her relief was short-lived as she continued walking and spotted a figure waiting for her in the distance, a sense of unease creeping at the back of her mind.A frown crept across her face, as she approached the man. Her steps slowed, her heart pounding with nervous anticipation. Getting closer, she could feel his eyes on her, sending a shiver down her spine. Meeting his gaze, she finally spoke up. "I have what you asked for, sir," she addres
Upon realizing the caller was Karen, Liam swiftly answered his phone, eager to hear her voice. As they talked on the phone, she reminded him of their lunch plans. The reminder made Liam both excited and worried at the same time. He was happy to be able to spend some time with her after she had been very busy for the last few days, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling nervous, knowing that he was hiding a very big secret from her, a secret that could end their relationship.After ending the call, Liam returned his cellphone to his pocket, running his hand through his hair as he exhaled audibly. A sense of nervousness creeping in, as he anticipated what was ahead, ate at him. He contemplated lunch with Karen. He had been harboring the secret of expecting a child with Elena for some time now, and the guilt of it pressed heavily on him. He knew he had to tell Karen about it, the sooner the better. He couldn't keep it from her anymore, risking her finding out on her own, that wou
