After much persuasion and pleading, Rachael finally gave in and explained her relationship status to Isabelle who was eager to listen. While explaining, she ended up revealing some other essential information that she failed to pass on to her earlier.
“I’m really sorry, dear. Who would have known that he had such an identity” Isabelle muttered, her voice softened but her thoughts far away as she recalled what she had said about Liam being involved in some underworld dealings.
“So, you’re not going to speak to him till when?” Isabelle asked, breaking the silence in the room.
“Hmph….” Rachael scoffed. “I have no idea”
Isabelle took a deep sigh and stated a fact saying, “You do know William is a good man regardless of the circumstances you both find yourself in. I’m sure your feelings for each other are genuine and you’ll find a way.
“The love expert has spoken, “Rachael remarked with a taunting smile on her face. “You should take on the job of a guidance counselor. I’ll fully support you, even if Liam doesn’t.”
Rachael realized she had ruined the mood when she saw the sullen face of Isabelle as she looked down on me too.
“I’m sorry” she apologized in a low tone is too gentle.
“It’s fine, it’s the truth anyway” Isabelle replied before a grumbling sound came from her flat stomach. She rubbed a naughty girl. “Rachael, I’m hungry. Can you get me something to it?”
“Sure” Rachael readily which those cannot do with pressing the phone. “I’ll be back.
“Don’t stay too long o” Isabelle shouted after her.
The moment Rachael stepped out of the room, she met Liam leaning on the other side what are we not going to go?”
“She wants to see you” Rachael muttered to Liam, her voice barely in focus, but she will temporarily be in this room for a short while. You should go see her”
“I have something very important to give to her, it’s in the car. Come with me” Liam suggested, walking towards his car, bringing it and bringing enough meal is okay for you, aunty will certain make jest of you.
Rachael’s face turned sour when she saw Liam tired to sit in the driver’s seat, trying to leave. “Mr. Callahan, you can’t leave without talking to her”
“I’ll be back,” Liam said with a flat voice.
“I know you both love each other very much but communication is the only way to solve your problems”Rachael gave out words of advice. “You need to learn to express your emotions, only then will be able to talk to each other with understanding… I know you both love each other very much, but you have to learn to forgive… Even you have dark secrets you keep”
Rachael paused for a while to see the indifferent look and William’s eyes. “I didn’t mean to pry, I was trying to help you both”
“It’s fine. Later” Liam replied and drove out of the hospital you remember.
Rachael walked back into Isabelle’s room
“Woah! That was fast. How did you do it?” Isabelle exclaimed in surprise. “The customer service there must be really good”
“It’s from Liam, I didn’t order it right on time before I could do anything. We’ll meet on that day, so don’t be bothered about it. You should eat your food”
****
“Liam, I’ve been waiting for you” William stated, his voice laced with displeasure as he saw his friend walk into the police station. He noticed the sullen expression on Liam’s face and swallowed the words that were threatening to come out.
“Did something happen?… “William asked with curiosity in his voice as Liam walked past him.
“She’s awake”Liam replied without mincing words. “Rachael is with her, so I decided to come here”
“Oh! I see…”William exclaimed in realization. “That’s good news but you don’t seem happy… your face right now is greatly different from the one you had on when she fainted on the island”
“It’s complicated”Liam retorted again. “I don’t want to talk about it”
“Alright, alright”William gave in, knowing how Liam always remained adamant after making a decision.
“Where are the two bastards?” Liam asked in a fit of rage, his hands balled into a fist. Every time he thought about what had led to his misunderstanding with Isabelle, his mind always came back to those two people in his head.
“They’ve been locked up in different cells. While Kyle has been a bit calm, Max has been aggressive, asking for an audience with you” William replied, his voice stern and his gaze solemn.
“An audience??” Liam raised his eyebrow and scoffed in irritation. “Fine, I’ll give him what he wants”
William led Liam to Kyle who were placed in cells right next to each other.
“Liam, you punk. Get me out of here” Max yelled with fury in his eyes, his face reddened with embarrassment as he recalled how he had been outsmarted with just a hit by a man who works right here with me. “You’ve gotten Isabelle. What else do you need?”
“That wasn’t probably the only crime you’ve committed”Liam shook his head slowly. “You’ll also be sued for defamation and invasion of privacy”
“You can’t do that” Max protested with a loud voice and turned to Kyle who sat calmly on the cold floor in his cell. “Kyle, say something about this”
“There’s nothing to say, we’ve been caught. We just need to wake up a defendant before the day to help us. If there’s a problem, he should speak to me”Kyle said with a solemn expression on her face. “I hope your mummy did not fight without anybody?”
“I wish I had enough time, I would have tortured you to death, even not because I do not have the time to waste. Take care of her daughter and say hi to Isabelle hi”Liam replied with a strange and solemn turn. So, he refused to listen to them.
“Liam, the meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow at 10 pm.” William who had been silent all this while finally spoke while reading the information on his child”
“Took longer than I had expected, now that we have these two out of the picture, we have only Damien Russo to worry about” Liam stated
