CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE
“Where is Alyssa?” Tiffany asked Liam for the second time, and he didn’t give any answer. He kept on staring at the flower that was awkwardly positioned at the center of the table.
It wasn’t like Liam didn’t know what to do, it was more like he didn’t want to tell Tiffany the real truth, because he already knew what her verdict was going to be.
“I’m not speaking to the table, Liam.” Tiffany said to Liam again, and he raised his head to look at her.
She looked really angry, but Liam couldn’t even blame her. She’s Alyssa’s best friend, so her acting out that way was really understandable for Liam.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Liam was surprisingly scared to look at her, because he knew that if he tells her the person that put her in that state, then she’ll surely skin him alive.
He kept on trying to move her attention from Alyssa, but it didn’t work at all. Tiffany was insisting on seeing her best friend before she actually allowed him to be at peace.
When he couldn’t take it, he stood up from the table, and he started walking towards the garden.
He wasn’t surprised when he heard Tiffany’s voice trailing behind him. He knew that she wouldn’t give up easily, but he wasn’t ready to keep up with her problems.
Liam kept on walking, until he reached a dead end, and by dead end, it wasn’t that he got to the end of the garden, it was that Tiffany caught up with him, and she dragged him back.
“What do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to play with me? I asked you a question, and you just walked out like that. Who does that?” Tiffany asked all at once, while glaring at Liam
She was so angry, and Liam’s actions were just asking things worse.
“I understand what you’re trying to say. I’m just telling you that I have no answer to all your questions.” Liam said, and he shrugged. He was tired of going back and forth with her, and he just wanted to be alone.
Ryan didn’t say anything to Tiffany, he just patiently allowed her to vent out all her anger, because in that case, they were justified.
“Where is my best friend?! Where is Alyssa?” She asked, and she moved closer to Liam like she was ready to attack him.
Liam glared back at her, and Tiffany was forced to back away from him.
Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she didn’t look like she was interested in wiping them off if they ever streamed down her face.
“I don’t know, Tiff.” Liam whispered, and he stole a glance at Ryan, who was watching the both of them Intently.
“You could find out for yourself.” Liam quickly added, and he started walking back to the house.
Without thinking, Tiffany went against what she planned to do, and she wiped her tears off her face. She started walking towards the house with Liam in front of her, and Ryan silently trailing behind her.
Liam went back to the dining room, and he sat down at his normal spot.
Tiffany exchanged weird looks with Ryan, because they were both confused.
They had thought that he was taking them to Alyssa, but instead, he led them back to the house to finish up his dinner? Wow.
Tiffany was about to let him know her mind, when she turned her head, and saw Ella walking in with Timothy on her left hand.
Timothy looked…. different, like he wasn’t happy. Tiffany noticed, and she looked over at Ryan to see if he also agreed to that. Yes, Ryan agreed.
She waited for Ella to get to them, and when they did, Ella didn’t say anything to her. She wasn’t expecting her to, she just wanted to know where Alyssa was.
Tiffany suddenly realized that if Timothy was with Liam, that meant that Alyssa was somewhere around, in fact she was sure that she was in the same house they were also in.
“Timothy…” Tiffany called out to him, and the small boy turned his attention to her.
When Tiffany saw that she had the boy’s full attention, she moved closer to him and sat down opposite him.
“Where is your mother?” Tiffany asked Timothy, and when he was about to answer, Ella covered his mouth, and she told him not to say anything.
Tiffany gave Ella a deadly glare before asking the boy again.
Again, Timothy wanted to answer, but a deadly glare from Ella was enough to shut him up.
Tiffany suddenly stood up from her seat, and she faced Liam.
“Oh, wow. I already understand everything, Liam. You left Alyssa in Alexandria, and you stole Liam from her. Isn’t that it?” She asked, but Liam didn’t say anything.
Liam’s silence was pissing her off, and she just feared that she would do something that she really doesn’t like. Liam’s silence was the most annoying thing that she was witnessing.
She just knew that for him not to answer her, that meant that something was wrong, something big.
“Okay, since I’m the crazy one here, let me be fully crazy. I want to see Timothy’s mother, my friend, right now!” Tiffany commanded, and for the first three seconds after that, there was silence, but it was broken by Timothy.
“I.. I know. My mum is… is.. sleeping there.” The boy said, and pointed towards the staircase.
Sleeping? Tiffany thought she heard him wrong, but the way he was still pointing towards the staircase, made her know that she heard him right.
She looked at Liam again, before she grabbed the boy’s hand, and started running up the staircase.
Liam heaved a huge sigh, and he rested his head on his palm. He honestly didn’t know what to do, he was sad, angry, frustrated and confused.
He wondered why everything was happening to him at the same time. He just couldn’t take it, and Tiffany finding out about Alyssa’s condition would only make things worse. He was so sure of that.
When Tiffany got to the hallway, she looked over at the boy, and he pointed towards Liam’s room.
Tiffany frowned, thinking about why Alyssa could be sleeping for that long in Liam’s room.
She started walking slowly towards the door, and when she got to the door, she placed her hand on the door knob and she was about to turn it.
She had started turning it, and when she got to the last turn, someone’s hand landed on hers, and she looked up to see who it was.
It was Liam.
“Trust me, you don’t want to see her right now.” Liam said, and blinked at her.
Tiffany looked away from him, and she moved her hand from his. He was still annoying her, and she had no time for that.
She opened the door, and when she saw Alyssa on the bed, with an oxygen mask on her face, she broke down.
Seeing her best friend in that position was not something she expected, and it shook her to her bones.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Liam and asked him what happened to her.
