"Come outside," the message read.

Liana stood, her heart racing, and peeked out the window. Tony stood beside his car, alone, his phone in hand.

"What does he want now?" she wondered.

"Liana, what's wrong?" her mother asked, concern etching her face.

"Mom, I need to meet Tony downstairs," Liana replied.

Ms. Victoria nodded, her expression softening. "Alright, darling, just be safe."

Liana nodded, her heart still pounding as she made her way outside. As she approached Tony, she tapped his shoulder.

"Hey, you're here," he said, lifting her up and carrying her to his car.

Liana was surprised and confused, her mind racing. "What are you doing, sir?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Tony removed a stray strand of hair from her face, his expression suddenly serious.

"Can't I make my girlfriend… happy anymore?" Tony asked, his hand caressing her cheek.

She doesn’t want you to worry about her, and that’s why she didn’t tell you about her medicine. She loves you, and wants you to focus on your life.

"What? How? I need to see her. Now!"Sarah continued, her voice breaking, "The medicines were finished. She didn’t want to trouble you and tried to hide it from you.
