Hazel
My mind has been all over the place recently. I’ve been having this anxious, like something serious is about to happen.
“You’re probably just overthinking it Hazel. Everything will be just fine.” Dove whispers
to me.
Yes.
It’s just Daisy approaching surgery that has me feel rattled.
“I think it’s about time Ethan knows the truth Hazel.” Dove whispers to me.
Yes, I completely agree to this. Although Nathan sees differently. Nathan’s plan is that we just get up and leave immediately after
the surgery, but would that actually be fair? Ethan loves these kids. He loves them but what about Bella? A nagging voice crept
up inside of me.
Bella was obviously up to no good. What if she harmed them?
I sighed. Ethan wasn’t really an issue again, what scared me more was the fear of his reaction, how his reaction would be.
Would he demand custody? Would he be angry I fooled his all this while? Would he take my kids? I didn’t see this ending well for
me. Bella as a step mother? That image gave me nightmares. That woman had no paternal warmth or bone in her. Her badly
harming my kids randomly without knowing they were mine, how much worse would she be when she finds out they’re Ethan’s
and my
kids.
It would be terrible. If there was no Bella I would definitely take the risk. I can’t help but think of Nathan, he had done everything
he could for us. But would it be right? My kids Father was alive, and eager to have a place in their lives. Having someone play
that role seemed too cruel to not just my kids but Ethan as well.
“Liam, don’t wander too far, okay?” I call out to my son.We are currently sitting at the hospital park, a vast expanse of greenery
that adds a friendly touch to the medical environment. This was one of the reasons I love cleaveland hospital, they have
everything This open space proves beneficial for the inpatients, offering a refreshing and uncluttered atmosphere, a complete
change of scenery. Not only were the management catering for it’s patients health, but also other aspects as well.
Daisy is busy happily riding a bike.
“One Ethan bought for her.” Dove says in a singsong way.

Chapter 124
Ethan’s assistant had just showed up randomly one morning with a pink bicycle after Daisy mentioned it just once. The man
spoilt them to the heavens!
More reason why I felt terrible. Ethan’s interaction with them was pure, that connection was there.
Kids deserve having both parents in their lives. Ethan was there, anxious and eager to
present in their lives even though he thinks they aren’t his.

“No Bella, no problems.” I can’t help but sigh once more.
The woman had come out from nowhere all of a sudden. The fact she could frame me and tell lies was clear, my kids would not
be safe around her.
And their marriage, Ethan didn’t seem happy.
For now, I’ll just let things go with the flow.
I wasn’t as stiff with Ethan any longer. He could visit whenever he wanted. And gifts from him? Liam would kill me if I ever have
them returned. Those small things, I would let them indulge.
Liam’s playing running around playing fetch with a dog.
A dog I don’t know or remember having.
Axel suddenly materialized with one a while ago.
The puppy was actually very cute. That dog couldn’t be Ethan’s? Could Ethan have a pet puppy? I wondered. It didn’t seem
But I was sure it Couldn’t be Axel’s. I can’t imagine Axel owning a pet, the guy seems just too, what’s the word ...?
“Like an AI? A robot?” Dove asked and I snickered. That was it. He seemed too proper and overly dignified in a serious kind of
way, plus he barely smiled. He had a bland face that was most times expressionless. A handsome face though, just rather a sad
looking
one.
My eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for Liam, who had slipped out of my sight.
I had seen him in a while now.
Then, in the distance, I spotted him – attempting to retrieve his ball. Almost
instinctively, I was about to look away when my heart s kip ped a beat, and time seemed to freeze. .

Chapter 124
A white van came hurtling towards him, and a surge of anxiety gripped me.
“Liam! Look out!” I yelled, my voice echoing my panic as I sprinted toward him.The world around me blurred, the air became
heavy, and the ordinary park setting morphed into a stage of impending danger.
Each step I took felt like a monumental effort, my heart pounding in my chest. Sweat formed on my forehead, and every breath
was a struggle.The sound of my own warning lingered in the air, charged with urgency. As I closed the distance, the gravity of
the situation intensified. Emotions swirled within me – fear, helplessness. No goddess no!
I was too far away.
A mere moment ago, the ambiance was one of joy, painted in the vibrant hues of green. Everything was the epitome of normality
until the abrupt shift unfolded. Hazel’s feet pounded the ground, carrying her urgently to the other side, where a white van now
lay crumpled against a tree. Panic surged through her as her eyes desperately scanned for Liam, her heart half-expecting the
worst.
•
“Liam!” she screamed, spotting him huddled safely away from the van’s destructive path. “Liam! Liam! Are you okay?” she called
feverishly, her hands running over his little b*dy anxiously. He was untouched, unharmed by the chaos that had just unfolded. A
wave of relief swept over Hazel, and she clutched him tightly, nearly brought to tears by the intensity of her emotions.
As the crowd gathered, murmurs rippled through;
“Did you see what happened? Some guy grabbed that little boy out of the way.” People talked amongst themselves.
“Liam!” She looked at his face. “Mummy.” He called her softly burying his face into her chest. “Where did that come from?!”
Someone yelled. It was a white van on high speed that had suddenly run out of control almost hitting Liam.
Amidst the chaos, someone yelled about the van almost hitting Liam. Hazel, still holding him close, checked him over, her heart
racing with concern. “My baby! My baby, you’re okay! Oh, thank goodness,” Hazel cried in a mixture of relief and gratitude.
While people discussed the mysterious savior, a black-jacketed figure who had acted just in time, Hazel’s attention wavered. The
van, now emptied of occupants, left a trail of unanswered questions lingering in the air.
“Oww, mummy, my arm,” Liam cried as Hazel attempted to stand.
She checked him immediately searching for broken bones.

“It’s just a small wound; you’ll be fine,” she assured him relief evident in her voice then lifting him up and heading towards the
hospital.
“Daisy!” Hazel yelled looking around for her daughter.
“Daisy!”
“Mummy.” Daisy called walking to her.
“I’ll bring her in,” an elderly woman offered holding Daisy’s small arm. The twins were known and beloved in the hospital.
“There was an accident,” Axel urgently announced, interrupting Ethan’s meeting. Panic etched across Ethan’s face as Axel
delivered the news. “It’s Liam.”
“What?!” Ethan bolted out of his office, Axel following closely. With determination, Axel took the lead. “I’ll drive, get out,” he
“Liam! Liam!” Ethan’s desperate calls echoed through the corridors as they rushed towards the wards. Upon entering the ward,
relief and anxiety collided in Ethan’s eyes as he saw a nurse tending to Liam’s injuries.
“Ethan,” Hazel’s tear-filled eyes met his, her voice a soft whisper.
Ethan’s gaze zeroed in on Liam. “Are you okay?!” he asked, his eyes hovering over him anxiously.
“Yes,” Liam nodded quietly, and Ethan enveloped him in a tight hug. “You’re okay,” Ethan murmured, his hands tracing over
Liam’s head gently, a heavy breath escaping him in relief.
“What happened? Axel just informed me. A bus ran out of control and nearly hit Liam?” He asked gently.
“How’s that even possible?!” Ethan fumed, his frustration evident and directed to the hospital director and manager as they
entered the ward. “We’re trying to understand it, sir.” The man said apologetically.
“Can you hear yourself?!” Ethan yelled in frustration. Their explanations fell short, leaving a bitter taste of confusion.
“Ethan,” Hazel’s tearful voice pulled his attention. “Someone grabbed him just in the nick of time. I can’t even imagine what
would have happened.” Her voice trembled with the weight of the near-tragedy
“He’s fine now,” Ethan reassured, crossing the room to embrace Hazel.

“I can’t imagine, right in front of my eyes, Ethan. I almost lost Liam!” She sobbed.
“He’s fine now,” Ethan repeated, gently rubbing her back as she sobbed. Nathan entered at that moment, shooting accusatory
glances at Ethan.
“Everything okay in here?” he inquired sharply.
“Yes,” Hazel separated from Ethan, wiping her tear-streaked face.
After spending some time ensuring Liam and his sister were fine, Ethan finally left. Axel reported during their ride home, “The
van was empty, it’s from a neighboring mall.” While Ethan had hurried off to tend to check on the kids, Axel had taken it upon
himself to investigate the peculiar incident. “There was no one driving it, no camera footage either. I looked into it,” Axel
explained.
Ethan sighed, realizing the situation was more complex than a mere accident. “I don’t think that was an accident,” Axel
concluded, mirroring Ethan’s suspicions. “It couldn’t possibly be. The hospital thinks the bus ran out of control, but I think there’s
more to it,” Ethan added thoughtfully.
“Any reports on the man that saved Liam?” Ethan inquired, hoping for some lead in unraveling the mysterious circumstances.
“None, onlookers didn’t see his face. All they said is that he was in black overalls, and that was it.”
“Whoever he is, I owe him,” Ethan muttered with a sigh. He then instructed Axel, “Try to find him. The driver of the bus, the
person who had stolen it as well.”
“Already on it,” Axel responded promptly.
“Did you do what I asked?” Ethan questioned, referring to a matter that seemed to weigh heavily on his mind. “I’m on it,” came
Axel’s reply.
“Although I don’t understand why you insist on running another one,” Axel commented, expressing his confusion.
“I just have a feeling. You wouldn’t understand it, Axel. I don’t understand it either. Those kids, they’re mine. I just know it,” Ethan
confessed, grappling with conflicting
emotions.
“The first results said they weren’t,” Axel reminded him.
“I know,” Ethan snapped, frustrated. “Maybe there was a mistake, a mix up with the samples. Those kids have to be mine!” He
growled with determination.
“They aren’t,” Axel sighed, aware of the emotional turmoil his friend was experiencing.

“My head tells me they’re not mine, my senses tell me otherwise, my heart tells me otherwise,” Ethan reflected. “I just need one
last confirmation. Something might have happened with the first sample,” he pleaded for understanding.
Axel sighed, seeing Ethan’s conviction, “Just do it, would you.” Ethan insisted.
Axel sighed expressing his concern, “Fine. I just hope you don’t get hurt, Ethan.” He was worried and convinced the second test
report would end up disappointing him.
“The other reports are out though, the ones from the drink,” Axel informed him, providing a shift in the conversation.
