Chapter 32: Teddy Bear

I woke up. Liam had just come to me with a huge bear. I smiled. He put it on my bed.

"I bought this for you. When I'm not with you, so you won't be sad, Daisy,"

"Thank you.. But you didn't have to," I said and smiled. Liam sat down on my bed.

"I'm very sorry for what you went through and I take responsibility for it. He's my son," he whispered. I saw how sorry he was.

"Liam. Parents don't take responsibility for their children. Remember that. Don't worry about it. You're a wonderful man and you've helped me a lot," I whispered and smiled.

"We're going to the hospital today. I want to do all the tests for you, regarding the operation and if it goes well, I'll operate on you.  It's going to be a tough operation but I'm sure you'll be able to do it,"

"Will I be able to walk again?"

"I believe so. It won't be an easy road Daisy. You'll have to rehabilitate but I think you'll be able to walk again.  I believe in it,"

,,And if everything goes well, when will you be able to operate on me?,,"

,,Tomorrow.. If the tests go well, you will stay in the hospital and I will operate on you in the morning," Liam said and smiled at me. I was afraid of the operation but I really wanted to walk. I wanted to get on my feet. Everything would change.

,,But I want to ask you one thing,"

,,What Liam?,," I asked him and smiled.

,,Daisy.. When you walk again.. Don't leave my life, please.. I got so used to you. I got used to someone being with me and I couldn't imagine you leaving,"

,,How do you imagine it? You take care of me.  You feed me and it can't go on like this," I said and Liam silenced me with a kiss. I closed my eyes and felt him grab my face.

His lips were sweet and soft. He pulled away from me and ran his lips over mine.

"When you get over this, you'll work for me. But I don't want you to leave this apartment and especially my life," he whispered

"Okay. I won't leave. I promise you,"

Liam knew how to soften me up with just one look. With just one kiss. He knew it very well and that's exactly why he did it. He got up from the bed and a moment later came back with a bag.

"What is it?"

"I went to buy you something, Daisy.  I want you to wear this today," he told me and smiled at me. It was clothes.

"Liam. You really didn't have this. It must have been very expensive,"

"No. I don't want to hear anything Daisy. I want you to wear this. You don't worry about the money. I'll go get dressed and then I'll come get you. We'll go to that hospital and get you checked out," Liam whispered and smiled at me. He walked away. I looked in her bag. There were pants, T-shirts and jackets. I didn't like that he was spending money on me but when I said something to him, he didn't take any notice.

Hospital:

Liam

"They're taking you for a checkup. I'll be in the office for now. I'll see you in the room. If everything goes well, I'll operate on you. Be strong," I said and she walked away. I smiled and went to my office.  Chris was sitting on the chair, looking at me.

"I've been finding out some things, Liam. You were at the orphanage where my daughter was, but you didn't tell me anything about it. Why?" he said. I sat down on the chair and looked at him.

"It happened the night Daisy was kidnapped. I wanted to find your daughter, that's why I didn't tell you, Chris,"

"And did you find out anything?"

"I just found out that someone adopted her a few days after she was born. Lily really put her there, and I don't know any more. I'll try to find her, Chris, but give me some time. A lot has happened in the last two months. I'll find your daughter, but it won't be right away," I told him. I couldn't tell him that maybe Daisy was his daughter.

"I know that what happened to Daisy is Lily and Mark's fault,"

"Basically yes. James wanted to get rid of Daisy and Mark helped him with it. Daisy told me that Lily was after her too.. Oh my God Chris. Where did you find such a woman? And you also had a daughter with her. She is incredibly evil and malicious,"

"I loved her at that time, Liam. And I loved my daughter even more. I only saw her once. She had beautiful blue eyes, like the ocean," he whispered

"She still has them now," I said but only then did I realize what I had said

"What? And you know that from where?",

"Well.. She definitely has the same eyes as when she was little. Children's hair changes but their eyes don't.. Daisy went for a checkup. I hope everything turns out okay," I said and smiled

"Maybe so."  Maybe she'll be able to date again and... How are things between you two, Liam? I know you have feelings for her,"

"I do but I haven't told her. I can't tell her. What will she think of me? I think she still has it in her head that I'm her ex's father.. I love her, Chris. I would give her everything. I can't live without her. I can't," I whispered and closed my eyes

"How long are you going to act like this, Liam? Look. We've known each other for years. I've never seen you with another woman. I've never seen you smile at another woman but you change before my eyes. She's everything to you. You smile at her. You come alive with her,"

"Daisy is a very strange woman, full of secrets and mysteries. She has no parents. I don't know who her biological parents are, but I would like to find out, just like with your daughter. She is a very sensitive woman. A weak word, a scream can make her cry,"

Amanda burst into my office.

"How many times have I told you to knock? I hate it from the bottom of my heart," I screamed loudly and stood up.

"I'm sorry. But Daisy Fly can't breathe. The CT scan isn't finished. She's in room 102," she told me. I looked at Chris and ran to her room. She was lying on the bed with a mask on her nose that allowed her to breathe. I looked at Josh
