Chapter 43 Who Are You Calling Dad?

• Liam looked down and said, “Shelly, I’m not lying about rescuing you the other day. It was me who didn’t restrain myself and ended up getting carried away when you hugged me, so I don’t blame you for stabbing me. In fact, I even threatened my family to refuse treatment if they tried to lay a finger on you. After that, I spent half a month lying in the hospital but was still worried about you, so I sneaked out of the hospital and came all the way to Elmsbury to see you. Now that I know you’re fine, I guess I can finally put my mind at ease.”
• Liam kept his head down while speaking with a soft voice, which was very different from the way he behaved when he kidnapped me to the yacht and when he wanted to get physical with me at Roy’s house. Deep down, I couldn’t help but wonder whether the man really meant what he just said because if he didn’t, he must be a good actor who was extremely cunning and deceptive.
• “Do you really think everything went smoothly with me after I stabbed you and ran away? Let me tell you what happened after that. Upon my escape, I got lost in the mountain not long before it poured heavily. Then, I accidentally fell and broke my shin, which put me in the hospital for seven days. When I was finally discharged, your men came with a few police officers to arrest me and made me admit that I intentionally assaulted you. Because of that, I was left in a detention room with a man who was paid to torture me because I messed with someone I wasn’t supposed to.”
