Jason looked up at Laura and saw her beckoning the girl to come to her."Mom, is Liam going to be okay?" Lisa asked again for the second time that night."Yes, Hunnie, he will be," Laura assured her. This time, she was more sure than she had been at the hotel.Teressa and Audrey also stepped into the room just as the doctor began to explain."It was really a close one, and getting him here on time was what made the difference," Dr. Zane replied.Surprisingly, he was the one on duty and had been called upon to attend to Liam. The hospital had some doctors dedicated to attending to anyone who was brought directly from the North Hotel."How is he now?" Laura asked."He would be fine. You just need to ensure that he does not take anything that has the almond nut in it, and also try to have the antidote handy for emergencies such as this one," Dr. Zane explained further."Thank you, Dr. Zane; I believe the hospital should be able to provide them with the antidote when he is free to go," Ja
The question had Jason pausing for a minute as he organized his thoughts. He had to confirm his suspicion before he said anything."You'll see," Jason told Tim.Tim shook his head and replied, "I don't really think you should meddle in that, Jason; you guys are already feet away from being sworn enemies."Jason was reminded of their little disagreement a few minutes ago as he replied, "I do not know what her problem with me is; we end up arguing with each other every time we talk, and tonight was not an exception.""Oh, oh, I really think you should try and be nice to her," Tim replied."Nice? Of course, I am nice to her; I have been nothing but that since we met," Jason defended himself.Tim turned to look at Jason, a weird look on his face as he said, "Jason, that is really far from the truth from where I am standing.""Well, you're standing in the wrong place," Jason replied.Tim shook his head, giving up, as they drove into the hotel. There was no talking to Jason, especially afte
Laura rushed towards the door, her heart skipping as she opened the door."Mummy," Liam called as soon as he saw her at the door.Laura rushed to his side, struggling to calm herself and breathe."Are you okay, baby? Are you feeling hurt anywhere?" Laura asked, holding him close as she scanned him with her eyes."I'm okay, mummy; I want to go home," Liam replied."What happened? I thought something had gone wrong." Laura asked the nurse."Oh, nothing; I was trying to request the doctor, that's all," the nurse replied."Oh, okay," Laura replied, adding, "Can he go home tonight?""The doctor is on his way; I believe he would ascertain that fact if he checked him again," the nurse replied."Okay, thank you," Laura said, sighing with relief.The door opened, and Lisa ran in with Teressa behind her. Laura had forgotten for a minute that she was also looking for them."Liam, you're awake!" Lisa exclaimed and rushed towards the bed."Yes, Lisa," Liam said, nodding at her."Where were you guy
"What the hell?" Laura muttered and looked up to see her father standing in front of her."I have to hunt you down to get you to speak with me; you are ungrateful and heartless, Laura!" Jerry Phillips muttered in a hard voice.Laura moved Liam from one arm to the other before responding to her father, "Whatever you came here to do, father, I do not have the time; it is late, and I think you should head back home.""I wonder if you are mine sometimes, but DNA doesn't lie, right?" Jerry spat at her."Please don't tell me all the time we spent waiting will be wasted," Gift said from behind.Laura rolled her eyes, wondering why the whole family would come to the hotel to wait for her."How did you know where I stayed?" Laura asked them."Well, little sister, you're famous; remember, we just had to look in the right places to find you." Gift spat in response, eyeing the whole hotel."I really can't do this right now; if you don't mind, please take your leave," Laura told them, and she step
"What are you doing here, man?" Jason asked himself as he shook his head at the fact that he was standing at Laura's door.He had taken the morning off from work to relax from the whole drama from the previous day and had decided to spend it in the gym."I should be nice; that's the goal," Jason said as he finally rang the bell."How did you guys get out?" Laura shouted as she opened the door.She stopped just a few inches from colliding with Jason, who stood at the door with a clueless look on his face.Laura saw that he had on a track pant and a face towel around his neck. He looked refreshed, and it was obvious he was coming from the gym on the floor below them."Hi," Jason said, adding, "Uhm, were you expecting someone else? You look so troubled to see me; well, not that you have any reason to be happy to see me.""Uhm, what do you want, Jason? I don't have the time for our usual banter right now," Laura replied, looking around the corridor behind him as she concluded."I was just
Jason raised his head to look at Tim, his brows raised in question as he asked, "You told Bobby I have a wife?""I am sure I didn't say it in those exact same words, Jason," Tim replied.Little Bobby grinned as he replied, "Uncle Tim said she was very beautiful, and Lisa's mom is beautiful."Jason shook his head and replied, "Okay, little man, I do not have a wife, okay?""You told me you were going to get married," Little Bobby countered."No, you said you would get me a wife, Bobby, but I didn't tell you it was going to get married now," Jason replied."I am going to find you a wife, uncle, a beautiful one like my mummy," Little Bobby interjected."Yes, I know Little Bobby; you've told me that countless times," Jason replied."I just did." Little Bobby grinned, adding, "Can I wear the little groom suit and not Liam? I think the two of us can wear it," Little Bobby said until he exhausted his last breath.Jason walked into the bedroom, and Little Bobby followed him. There was no way h
David saw the recognition on Laura's face and realized he probably had to take his leave."Uhm, David, you were going to tell me something," Laura said as she turned to David.She hoped she could answer his question on time so she could wrap up their conversation."Let's talk about this on Saturday; there's no hurry; I'll take my leave now," David said."Alright, thanks for dropping by; see you soon," Laura replied, adding, "Audrey will see you out.""Okay, thank you," David said as he walked toward the door."Good bye, Mr. Taylor," Adurey said as David stepped into the elevator.David nodded, his mind elsewhere as he muttered to himself, "I should have told her so she could prepare for their coming too. Anderson is unpredictable and might want to invest in other businesses apart from the hotel. I hope she has heard of them at least."Back in Laura's office, she walked over to the phone and picked up the call."Hello, Laura Phillips on the line," Laura said in a clipped voice."Did yo
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Jared; I didn't know…" David, who was coming behind Jared, was saying, but he stopped mid-sentence as soon as he laid eyes on Tim and Jason.Jared turned around, his expression shifting from neutral to impatience as he noticed David's abrupt halt.Tim had an expression of doom on his face, while Jason's jaw was rigid with anger."What is going on here?" Jared asked, eyeing the two before him."I believe when you see people in an office, it means they are guests," Jason replied."Hey, Jason, I didn't know I was having a meeting with you." David said, stepping behind Jared and moving into the office."Yes, I just dropped by to have an important discussion with you," Jason said, looking straight at Jared as he added, "alone.""I for one made an appointment, and I believe that makes me the official client on the meeting list for this particular time," Jared replied."Uhm, Jason, could we do this in a few minutes after Jared?" David asked cautiously."No, I
