"What is it?" Liam growled into the phone, annoyed by the constant call from Loretta. He had been ignoring calls from both Lucy and Loretta, but Loretta's had been incessant. He finally relented and answered the call. "Madam Lucy fainted this morning and we had to rush her to the hospital," Loretta said, her voice trembling with fear. In the background, Elizabeth's cry could be heard. Liam felt a jolt of panic and rose to his feet as he heard the news."What happened to her?" he asked, his voice urgent and filled with fear. "What's wrong with her?" He asked again."I don't know, I'm not sure what caused it, sir," Loretta said, her voice trembling. "She was feeding Elizabeth when she just suddenly fainted. I called you immediately but you didn't answer, so I and the security guard rushed her to the hospital. We're in the hospital now, but the doctors haven't said anything yet.""I'll be there as soon as I can," Liam said, his voice firm. He hurriedly grabbed his car key and dashed ou

"The surgery has been paid for", The hospital billing office staff informed Liam, much to his surprise. He had gone to the hospital to make a partial payment on Lucy's bill, which he was able to get from his mother after much pleading as his father had refused to give him any money. He had to go secretly to his mother. Out of motherly love, Mrs Xavier gave him part of the money for Lucy's treatment."Who paid for it?" He asked the lady, shock written all over his face."A tall, slim woman, I believe she was her sister," the lady replied. Liam was surprised. The description sounded like Loretta, but where had she gotten the money?, he wondered. He thanked the woman and hurried off to Lucy's room, only to find it empty. He rushed to the nurses' station and asked where she was."She's been taken to the operating theater," one of the nurses informed him."Who signed the consent form?" He asked, worried. "Her mother did". The nurse replied. Liam exhaled deeply, thanked the nurse and left

"Liam" Asher shouted, bursting through the door, into Dr. Xavier's apartment. She was shaking in anxiety, her chest moved very fast. Dr. Xavier had called her to tell her that Liam was terribly sick. She had run out of her room after the call, her heart beating fast. Her mother was asking her what the problem was but she just grabbed her car keys and ran out of the house.Her father, Mr. Williams had to run after her, trying to get her to slow down and calm down. But she couldn't seem to stop, she just rushed to her car and sat behind the steering wheel. She wanted to start the car when her father quickly opened the car door and snatched the keys from her. He begged her to calm down. After some moments of pleading and tears, she calmed.Between gasping breaths, Asher explained to her father what had happened that made her run out of her room. "Dr. Xavier called me and said that Liam is terribly sick. She said, her voice shaking. "I just need to see him dad, I need to see my husband".

On Elizabeth's fifth birthday, Asher, her adoptive mother, took her out to buy some gifts. Lucy made sure she spoke to Elizabeth almost every week and also got to see her once in a while. But even though Lucy was her biological mother, Elizabeth saw Asher as her real mother. Lucy wasn't bothered by this, she was happy that Elizabeth had a loving home with Asher. Lucy had twins of her own for Stanley so she had her hands full.Asher and Elizabeth were out shopping for her birthday gifts. Asher just finished paying for what they bought when she turned around and couldn't find her daughter.Fear gripped her as she dropped the gifts and searched everywhere in the supermarket for her. She asked every customer she saw if they had seen her daughter but no one gave a positive answer even the staff. Her head began to spin as she had searched everywhere but still didn't find her. She ran outside to ask the security guard if he had seen any child walk out of the supermarket. As she was talking t

"The doctor will like to see you Mr. Liam" A nurse said to Liam who was sitting in the hospital waiting room, lost in thought. Lucy, Asher, and Stanley were all sitting nearby, and Lucy started to rise from her seat, ready to follow Liam to the doctor's office. But Liam knowing it would be about the DNA results held up his hand, telling her not to follow him.No matter how much Lucy and Asher questioned Liam about his sudden change in demeanor, he remained silent. Lucy even apologized to Asher for her earlier behavior thinking that was the reason behind Liam's coldness but Liam still remained withdrawn and distant. "Welcome Mr Liam". The doctor greeted him with a warm smile. But Liam was too preoccupied with his own thoughts to return the greeting. He sat down in the chair across from the doctor, his leg bouncing up and down nervously. All he could think about was the test results. "What's the result, doctor?" He asked, getting impatient, his voice was shaking, his hands were trembl
