Chapter 193: A Change For The Better
Liam froze when she hugged him on her own. He had been waiting for this to happen for months and yet when it was happening, he didn’t know how to respond.
He was so worried and was thinking the entire day sitting in a cafe wondering how he should break it to her that he took those tests against her wishes. She is already in a bad place, and he feared if she would get worse if she learns that her wishes were not respected.
But his father advised him to take the test. Whether it is good or bad, it would be the best for everyone involved. Especially for the baby.
He never feared the results. His gut instincts told him that Ellie is his child. And there was assurance from Mrs. Delport. She was sure and so was he.
This test... He did it just to confirm his conviction.
He even thought that it won’t be necessary to tell her the truth. She was taking care of the baby a lot these days. And the smile on her face, although it was not the same as before, still contained love for her child.
It was a tough decision for him to make.
And in the end, he decided to show her the report to get closer to her. IT was good that she is getting healed and started to love her child as she used to.
But she is not looking at him. She is never looking at him the way she looked at him before. At times, when she smiles, she would see the smile she had for him when they were in school--when they were just friends.
He thought that was enough. After the days spent in the hospital that almost drained all his hope, he thought that being friends with her was a great step forward.
He thought about bringing up the topic of their relationship status with her. But he was afraid. What if she insists that she wants the divorce? What if she just wants to be friends with him?
Yes, he thought that being friends with her was enough for a brief time. But no, he dreaded that life. He does not want to be friends with her. He never wanted to be just friends with her!
