Chapter 179: Changed Thought
Derick took a defensive stance instinctively. He very much expected a punch on the face any moment. That’s what Liam does when he hears something he does not like.
But Liam was not saying anything for some time. When he looked up, his eyes were clear.
"Don’t say it’s late, Derick. It’s not. She still loves me and went through all that..." he looked at the room. He then turned. A layer of tears was in his eyes and he took in a deep breath. "I know she did it for me. And I am going to... I will do what it takes to get her back."
Derick smiled and nodded. Of course, he could see the change in Liam.
"I’ve told you everything you need to know. I know it is hard for you to come to terms with the truths. But she... About her, all you have to do is think from her side. It’s the same truth. Lennon is your father and he... Your father tried to..." Derick gulped.
When he personalized the truth, it irked him so more. A father tried to violate his daughter-in-law. Lennon knew who Rory is and yet he tried to... Ugh!
Derick fisted his hands. He wanted to kill Lennon. "Your father tried to hurt your wife. I..." he paused seeing Liam’s face getting pale.
"Yeah, I know, buddy. It is hard. But that’s what happened. And you should know how Rory would feel about this. She too knew who he was. And..." Derick hesitated to know the other detail he got from the psychiatric evaluation.
"And, what?" Liam leaned closer.
He felt so helpless, angry, and guilty. His wife, his precious wife who should have lived her life in utter luxury had to endure such a demeaning and traumatizing incident all because of...
It’s not my fault! It was HIS fault! I will not let him rest in peace!
He vowed in his heart. He wanted to rush to Lennon’s room and end him right then. That guy is in the same hospital and is getting treated for his gunshot wound. But the security around him is so tight that he couldn’t sneak in. He did try. They are not letting anyone near him.
