Cuddling her bump, Camille rose to her feet with one hand on her waist. Panting, she placed a hand on Haley's shoulder for support. Suspicion flashed in her eyes as well as wariness. She must be thinking Haley's idea was dangerous.Well, it was a bit dangerous,But it's the only idea that could get them out of this messy situation.“What are you up to, Haley?” Camille asked, her tone filled with apprehension.“Just act along.” Haley supported her with both hands, sneaking her out of the place. “We're going to the hospital.”Camille gasped. She paused for a second, then as if changing her mind, she resumed walking.Haley saw that reaction coming.Apart from hating anything that had to do with hospitals, Camille must have sensed what she was up to. Moments later, she sighed. “I just hope we don't get caught.”Although the idea just came to Haley, she doubted they'd get caught.Their only challenge right now would be the doctor.Would he agree or not?They spent ten minutes on the r
So Haley's parents knew she was in the room.They just pretended not to notice her.Neither did they act shocked or surprised as they stared at her.On both their faces was a look Haley hoped she'd never see again.The remorse in her mother's eyes as she addressed Camille transformed into a cold look. Staring at Haley, she spat out the words, “You're too bold to be standing here. I never thought you'd hang around with any member of the Woods Family.” Haley pursed her lips.“Let me guess…” Standing straight, her mother approached her. “You took Camille out to the shopping mall and made her make a fool of herself. Is it to throw this family into a scandal?”Haley had nothing against her family.Why would she cause a scandal?No doubt, her parents saw the footage circulating around.Haley was in the scene as Vera and Camille exchanged words.“Mum-”“Huh?” Her mother interrupted her, putting on a confused look. “What did you just call me?”Her father looked confused as well. “I think sh
~One of the hospital staff scurried up to him with a padlock. Liam grabbed it and used it to lock the door. “Mr. Nash, don't worry…” The staff whispered to him. “This storage room was once a theater room. It's soundproof and no one will hear her screaming.”Liam nodded and handed the keys to the staff. It was no wonder he couldn't hear Haley screaming.That troublemaker!Of all places, who knew he'd find her here?But Haley was a trouble magnet. It was only a matter of seconds before his father located her.She should be thankful he found her.“Make sure you watch over her,” Liam instructed the staff.He walked away, the sound of his phone's ringtone increasing.It was disturbing, almost irritating.Liam decided to answer it finally.“William Nash, where the hell are you!?” Came his father's angry voice.Liam grumbled, “I'm at the hospital.”“Why didn't you come and see your mother? Didn't Leah tell you what's happening?”Of course, Leah told him.Well, she must be exaggerating.
A lawsuit?Did that even make sense?Instead of apologizing, the Woods Family decided to sue them in court!The guts of them!Between Liam's mother and their daughter-in-law, who was the victim?Who sustained more injuries?“How dare they!?” His father ended the call, tossing his phone on the couch. The man was hopping mad, his body shaking with rage. “The Woods Family are overestimating themselves!”His father was right.It seemed the Woods Family were intentionally prolonging this chaos.Why though?“Maybe they don't want to lose face,” Leah said, her statement somehow aligning with Liam's question. “Everyone blames the Woods Family on the media and they want to turn the tables around. I can't even leave the hospital because of the paparazzi outside. Do you think the Woods Family invited them?”Inviting the paparazzi meant they had no problems with airing their dirty laundry in public.Were the Woods Family members so desperate to implicate his family?While coming just now, Liam h
Hannah Woods. The woman came out of the opposite door.Another VIP ward.So they were all here.What brought them to the hospital?And Haley,Liam saw her sitting outside this ward.Was she together with the Woods Family? Then Liam's statement must be right that they tolerated infidelity.Hannah Woods stopped in front of him, her brows furrowing. “Will you repeat what you just said, William Nash?”About the mistress?Did Liam have to repeat it?“It is as you heard,” he stated flatly. But the woman shook her head, her eyes filled with suspicion.Giving him an incredulous look, she spat out, “You’re speaking rubbish! My son will never take a mistress.”“It's your cup of tea.” Liam scoffed. Whether he was speaking rubbish or not, it was left for them to decide.Hannah denying it meant the family might not be aware of Andrew's relationship with Haley.Liam could expose them,But Haley was still his wife and letting this matter out was like damaging his own reputation.All he had to do
…Haley's body itched all over.It was as if insects were prickling under her skin.Damn that man!No doubt, there were harsh chemicals inside that storage room.Was he planning to suffocate and kill her?How heartless could he get?Standing outside the hospital's tall building, Haley took in long drags of the fresh air.She held out her hand to stop a taxi, anxiety jostling her nerves.She needed to get out of here fast.That evil man must have started looking for her already.No doubt,Liam pushed all the blame on her for what happened to his mother.To punish her, he locked her inside that dangerous room.Haley had her stars to thank for finding those spare keys in a corner.She wasn't even sure if they'd work, but they miraculously did!Or she'd be dead meat by now after inhaling all those chemicals.For how long was that evil man planning to keep her locked in there?Haley's hand became heavy as she held it out for too long.No taxi was coming her way.Urgh!If only her phone was
…Liam had searched the whole hospital, going from department to department, from ward to ward.Neither did he glimpse a shadow of her nor somebody who resembled her.Where the hell was Haley?She shouldn't have gone that far.After not finding her at the entrance through the front exit, Liam decided to check the back exit too.Who knew he'd bump into these annoying paparazzi?As they bombarded him with unnecessary questions, he struggled to maintain his cool. If not for his reputation, Liam would push each and every one of them out of his way.“Mr. Nash, what do you have to say regarding the current scandal involving your family and the Woods family?”“Is it true that Vera Nash is severely wounded and blinded by that daughter-in-law of the Woods Family?”“Mr. Nash, after what has happened, what conclusion can you draw about the Woods Family?”“Do you plan to reconcile with the Woods Family anytime soon after what they have done to your mother?”“You are business partners, Mr. Nash…
D- Dead…Dead!?Who died?Liam spaced out, the phone slipping out of his hold.He must be hearing wrong.His father was definitely pranking him.“Son, are you there?” His father called out through the phone. “I said Haley is dead. From now on, no one will come between you and Leah!”Liam opened his mouth, dread settling in his heart.His father's promise.The man's vow to get rid of her.His eagerness…Haley was dead?Slowly, realization sank in. Liam snapped back to his senses and shot to his feet. “Haley's dead!?”That meant his father found Haley.The man fulfilled his promise of getting rid of her.No way!Liam was too late!“Tell me you're joking!” Liam yelled, his voice shaking, his whole body trembling. The man had better be joking!He wouldn't have the mind to do as he said.At most, Desmond would only detain Haley!“Of course not,” his father laughed. “In fact, this is worth celebrating-”“Are you crazy, Desmond Nash!?” Liam shouted. “Why would you kill an innocent girl!?”
