Lucy noticed something was wrong with her baby's breathing as she was breastfeeding her. The baby's chest was moving very fast and it seemed that she's finding it difficult to breathe. She called out to Loretta, her voice shaking. "Please, call the nurse. It seems something's wrong"Loretta rushed to the phone and quickly dialed the number for the nurses station. She told the baby's situation to the nurse, who rushed to the room to assess the baby.The nurse hurriedly checked the baby's vital signs,and she realized the baby's breathing was not only irregular, it was dangerously fast. With a sense of urgency, the nurse rushed to the phone and called the pediatric doctor's office. "There is an emergency in the maternity private ward, room 5" she said with urgency. "Mr. Liam's baby's breathing is too fast, and it needs urgent attention".Within a few minutes the doctor had already arrived. Meanwhile, Liam had gone home to meet Asher, since Lucy's mother and Loretta were present. He had n
"Where is Mr. Liam?" the pediatric cardiologist asked, looking at the two women. "He will be the one to receive the result of your daughter's test." Lucy and her mother are in the cardiologist office for the test result but the doctor was refusing to give them any information. He felt it would be best to give the result to a man. Lucy and her mother were becoming increasingly frustrated with the doctor's refusal to share the information."Was I not the one who authorized the test to be done? Was her father here when you said she needed the test?Why do you now need her father when it's time to tell us the results?" Lucy said, her voice rising in anger. "What is wrong with my baby? Should I take her to another hospital or what?" she asked, growing more and more frustrated."I can tell you the results, but I think it would be best if Mr. Liam is present here," the doctor said, his tone soft. "I will tell you the result if you want me to tell you and promise you will keep calm" He said, L
The sound of the slap Lucy gave Liam reverberated through the hospital compound, all heads turned to see what was happening. Lucy was taking a walk around in the hospital compound when she spotted Liam's car driving into the parking lot. She watched calmly as Liam alighted from the car but as he approached her to say hello, she reacted with fury, slapping him across the face."How dare you greet me after what you've done?" she said, her voice raised, her eyes blazing with anger. Before Liam could even respond, she slapped him again, the force of her blow left a red mark on his cheek."If anything had happened to my baby, you would have seen how dangerous I can be," Lucy said, her voice shaking with anger. Loretta tried to placate her, but she was too upset to be soothed. "I'm sorry," Liam said softly, rubbing his palm on his cheek. "Asher has been so suspicious lately, she monitored every of my calls. I thought the best thing to do was to stop calling you for some time so she wouldn'
Liam's pov"Where are you coming from?" I was shocked to hear my father's stern voice as I entered my living room. He and my mother were sitting there, their faces hard and not smiling at all. Asher sat across from them, her eyes were red, her legs crossed, stamping the left leg on the ground repeatedly. I felt a chill run through me and couldn't move from where I was standing."Where have you been?" My dad asked again. I tried to open my mouth and say something but words were not coming. Lucy and our baby were discharged three days ago from the hospital and I had to spend time with them because I felt I needed to step up and be there for them.I had been ignoring my parents' calls and making excuses whenever Asher tried to reach me. I had told her I was going on a business trip when I left home.I was caught off guard when I met parents in my house, and I didn't know how to explain where I had been. I was sure that my father would be able to tell that I had been lying about my busin
Asher's povMy husband woke up very early this morning and started getting dressed to leave the house. I had made up my mind to secretly follow him and find out where he was going, because I was determined to uncover the truth about his cunning behavior over the years. I was so prepared to spy on him.Yesterday's phone call made me realize that I had to take action and find out the truth. It wasn't the first time my husband had been making calls secretly, but this time it felt different. His laughter with the unknown caller seemed too intimate, too familiar. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going on behind my back. The idea that he might be having an affair was too painful to consider, but I had to know for sure.I pretended to be asleep, he finished getting dressed and came over to wake me. He told me he was going to meet a friend, and I nodded without saying anything. As soon as he left the room, I jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. I picked a scarf to cover m
Ever since Asher returned home, she has been crying nonstop. It was hard to believe that Liam, who had promised to stay away from Lucy, had been lying all along. He had a two-year-old daughter with her. It was all too much for her to take in. The thought of calling her parents crossed her mind, but she decided against it. She needed to confront her husband first and get the truth from him. He still wasn't home yet, and the evening was stretching on. She couldn't sit still, she was pacing the living room with tears. Her heart was beating faster.She was about to head to her room and try to relax when she heard the front door open. She turned and saw her husband walking towards her. He reached out to hug her, but she recoiled. The hurt she was feeling made her lash out, and she slapped him hard across the face. He looked stunned, rubbing his cheek in confusion. "What's wrong?" he asked. "What happened?" "I want nothing but the truth, are you cheating on me? '' she asked, her voice sha
It was really a surprise that Liam's dad or mom or either of Asher's parents had not confronted him after Asher left the house. She had called Asher countless times but she didn't pick, later she blocked his line. He was unable to reach her again and he didn't have the mind to reach her parents. Lucy on the hand had been calling him but he kept ignoring her calls. She was the cause of all that happened and doesn't see reasons to speak to her.Liam was at the gate of his company, honking his horn, but the gate remained closed, it seems the gate man was not there. Annoyed, he got out of his car to open the gate himself. But when he got to the gate, he saw the gate man sitting comfortably in his chair, pressing his phone. He paused for a moment wondering what could be happening because it was obvious the man must have heard the honking and also saw him trying to open the gate himself. Was he ignoring him on purpose?"Why are you sitting there, doing nothing?" Liam asked angrily. He coul
"So you have been draining the company, taking excess money from the company just to satisfy Lucy" Liam's father said angrily to Liam. Liam looked up at his father, pleading with his eyes for understanding. But Dr. Xavier was having none of it. Asher and her parents were also present, watching the exchange between father and Son."You used my company's money to satisfy your mistress" Dr. Xavier said again, his face turning red with rage. Liam was shaking, his palms sweating, His eyes were shining with the threat of tears."You see, this was what I was avoiding when I told you to stay away from Lucy. I know her intention was to drain you" Dr. Xavier said again."I remembered asking you if you are seeing her but you denied it, I'm not surprised, a cheat will definitely lie"."I'm sorry," Liam said, misery written all over his face. "Help me beg Asher, please". Asher was sobbing silently where she was seated, her face crumbling like a used tissue, her mother's arm around her shoulder, tr
