CHAPTER 112
The physician returned in the morning. He had come to check on Alyssa as soon as they summoned him and he had administered some treatments to her. But he was yet to talk to Liam who was in dire need of information. He made to talk to him last night, but after observing how exhausted he was, he decided to let him sleep and have some rest.
“What’s wrong with her?” Liam asked the doctor the moment he walked into the room.
He still looked disheveled and unkept and a closer look at him would show that he didn’t sleep so well last night.
Liam barely slept all through the night. He jerked up at any slight noise he heard, since he wasn’t sure that his enemy wouldn’t attack again. He recalled that he had killed Lucas, but that didn’t seem to appease his soul.
He swore never to let any harm come close to Alyssa again and he was going to achieve it, no matter how difficult it looked.
“She over exerted herself and is entirely worn out. Her body couldn’t take the level of stress it got introduced to. That got her in this state”, The doctor explained while Liam nodded his head calmly.
He wasn’t surprised by what the doctor had said, because he caught a glimpse of Alyssa’s face the moment she did the light trick. Her face seemed as though it were in pains and she groaned aloud as it happened. That only meant that her body took most of the stress that came with the process.
“So, what should we do?” Liam asked the doctor who took in a deep breath and sighed deeply.
“Just give her some time to herself. Her body would respond in no time and she would come around”, the doctor replied with a smile, to help lighten the tensed atmosphere.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Liam breath out in relief the moment he caught sight of the smile on the doctor’s face. He had been scared that her situation was so bad and deep down his heart, he frightened when he thought of what would happen if she dies.
“So, nothing bad would happen to her, right?” Liam asked the doctor who nodded his head in affirmation.
“She would be so fine when she wakes up”, he explained and finally picked up his bag.
With a slight bow, he walked out of the room, leaving Liam with Alyssa who was barely aware of her surrounding.
“You haven’t really spoken to me since yesterday”, Tiffany said to Liam as she walked into the room the moment the doctor walked out.
Liam looked at her and nodded his head in affirmation. He was so weak that he barely talked, even to his mother.
“I guess I’m yet to recover from the shock”, Liam said with a sincere gaze while Tiffany stared at him intently.
“Shock? Did anything happen?” She asked Liam who shifted uncomfortably where he sat.
“A man showed up and from what I heard, his name is Lucas. He claimed to be Alyssa’s mate”, Lucas explained, while Tiffany opened her lips in shock.
She never knew that part of Alyssa, neither did she believe it.
“I guess he heard that she was getting married to me. And so, he decided to strike. He kidnapped her and took her to a warehouse, where he tried to take advantage of her”, Liam explained and clenched his fist the moment the memories from the previous day went past his head.
He was still furious that someone had tried to have his way with Alyssa and if he had his way, he would kill Lucas over and over again.
“Was that all what happened?” Tiffany asked while Liam nodded his head calmly.
“Well, the fight was a tough one!” He said and chuckled calmly. He was trying so hard to prevent spilling the major events that happened that day.
“Lucas and his men are quiet strong. I must say”, he added and took in a deep breath.
Tiffany stared at him again and kept mute. She was certain that he wasn’t saying something, but rather than bugging him with questions, she resolved to remaining mute and silent.
“I would catch up with you later”, she said to Liam who nodded his head in relief.
***
Tiffany walked out of the room and headed straight to Ryan’s quarters. The moment she got it, she broke into quiet sobs that shocked Ryan.
“Why are you crying?” He asked with great surprise as he walked over to her and wrapped his hands around her.
Tiffany sniffed hard. Whatsoever stood as a reason behind her tears must have hurt her deeply.
“I think I’m at fault for all of these!” Tiffany spewed and increased the intensity of her sobs.
“I can’t just bear all of these. Seeing Alyssa in that state makes my heart break to tiny pieces. Especially when I know that it’s my fault!” Tiffany said as she sniffed hard again and wiped the tears off her eyes.
Ryan was taken aback for a moment as he tried to process everything she said to him.
“You didn’t kidnap her. None of it was your fault”, he said persuasively, but she wasn’t ready to hear any of it.
“I could have prevented the kidnap. None of these would have happened. I had the opportunity to stop all of that, but I didn’t”.
Now, Ryan was confused. He sat up calmly and cupped her cheeks into his hands, peering piercingly into her eyes.
“What do you mean?” He asked calmly.
“Ella was at the palace during the pre wedding dinner. I saw her myself and sent her away. I should have informed Alyssa and Liam about that. They would have tightened the security and that would have averted all of these”, Tiffany sobbed again while Ryan took in a deep breath and hugged him passionately.
“My love…none of these is your fault. You did what you thought was the best”, he said softly as he placed quick kisses on her forehead.
“I just wished I had known better”, Tiffany said in regret while Ryan tightened his grip on her.
“You were thinking of your friends happiness at that moment. That makes you a great friend!” He said and smiled at her.
After moments of pacifying her, she finally got better and decided to pay Alyssa a visit. She walked over to the room and found Liam there.
He was sitting and glaring at her, with worry in his eyes and wild desires burning in them.
“She would be fine”, Tiffany said as she sat down beside him.
“I would have informed you both of Ella’s presence in the palace”, Tiffany said and Liam opened his eyes in shock.
“What? She was here?” Liam asked and Tiffany nodded.
“She talked about wanting to apologize, but I should have known better”, Tiffany added and Liam clenched his fist in rage.
“Well, I’m glad that we have Alyssa here and Ella is done with. You shouldn’t feel bad about that”, Liam said when he realized the solemn look on Tiffany’s face.
“I just felt that i had a chance to stop all of these”, she said with a deep sigh.
Liam kept mute and gazed at Alyssa. He couldn’t wait for her to stir and wake up. He missed everything about her and felt a piece of his heart missing.
They slept beside Alyssa for the night, since none of them had the nerve to leave her side.
