Have you ever felt like the life you've worked hard to move on from as just fallen to pieces in just a split second. Yep that feeling sucks and that's how I feel in this moment.
Knowing that Liam was behind that curtain in a state of life or death was a feeling like half of my soul was dying. As much as he cheated on me I know that he was the love of life and I'll never love anyone as much as I love him.
I also couldn't imagine what I'll tell Enquire when he's older to understand that he's father isn't around and I'll have to explain a heartbreaking news to him.
Walking inside I could see some of the doctors already started the surgery. He had blood all over his body you could hardly recognize him.
____________________________________
Eight hours. Eight hours I spent doing a surgery on him. He had two broken rids, something run inside his right side of his ribs just a few inches away from his lungs, his arms had a few cuts over them, he had minor head injury and boy was I glad to know that, and his left leg was broken, comparing the accident they describe I would say he was in good shape, if the accident was as big as they say he would have died on spot or during surgery. I wanted to cry at the state he was in. I hated him and loved him at the same time.
For now he was unconscious but he was stable, and I was more than happy to know that. The other doctors have left the room a few minutes ago and I was left inside with his lifeless body in front of me.
I brushed my fingers over his face. " Don't leave your son Liam he's gonna need you at one point weather I like to admit it or not. " I felt a tear on my cheek I swiped it and left the room.
Well there goes the life I worked so hard to forget. I knew Liam was gonna wake up eventually and things are never gonna be the same. I had a gut feeling about this whole situation. Why he had to be in New Year, why he had to crash, why I had to see him again. I felt like crying my pain away. Every that I feltsince I left him with came running back all at once. Now I even feel bad for not telling him about our son. Our, yea right.

April 9,2 2018.
It's a few days over a week and Liam's body was making good progress. He hadn't woke as yet but the feeling of how it would be awkward to be in the same room as him after all this time was killing me. What was worst was that his mother requested to have the best doctor assigned to her son and guess who it was.
Yep you got that right, me.
I also worked as a personal doctor if necessary and I always follow up on my patient until they had left the hospital in one peace. I spoke to her on the phone the day after the surgery and I wasnt suprised that she didn't recognize my voice. I hadn't given her my name and I was counting down the hours for her arrival. She said she was in Alaska and couldn't leave but she checked in everyday to know how he's doing.
I on the other hand, had to come to Liam's room everyday but I stayed a little longer than needed. I brought Enquire to come see him yesterday and he was so excited when I told him that Liam was his father. I didn't even think he'll be half as happy as I saw him. I however, told him to call him Liam if he was to be around when he wakes up. I even told him not to say his lasted name which is Cortes.
The only person that knew about Enquire besides my family was Jack Russell. He's the lawyer for both laim and me. But from the day I walked out on Liam after his betrayal I found myself a new lawyer. I sent the divorce papers to Jack after I found out I was pregnant but Jack said he wouldn't sign them unless I came to him in person. And until now he hadn't sign them. I told Jack about my pregnancy and that's how I got Enquire's birth certificate signed with Liam's signature, I honestly didn't want know what Jack did but then again I didn't care as long as he didn't know about Enquire.
After all this time I wonder if he had a girlfriend or if he was still seeing Jessica, my heart clench at the thought of them still seeing each other until now.
After Jessica and Liam's betrayal I never had a friend, my work colleagues and family members was the only persons I talked to. I couldn't bring myself to open up to another friendship.

It was now a little after five in the evening when I got a notification on my iPad that Liam was awake. My heart was in my throat just by reading the message. I wanted nothing more than to take my baby from Natalie ( the person in charge to keep the children) and leave. Maybe even get a next job at a different hospital maybe in a different state, country even and never look back, but I couldn't, I couldn't leave Liam in the dark about Enquire for the rest of my life even if that's what I wanted. It just wasn't fair and seeing Liam in such conditions and knowing Enquire could have lost his father. I couldn't, I just couldn't.
I left my office and walked towards the elevator and headed to room 2 that Liam had been moved to after the surgery. I walked in and my heartached. I face was flushed.
There he was lying in bed, a hospital bed, looking like he was he was fighting back the pain while in deep thoughts. He looked vulnerable, too vulnerable and helpless just lying there.
I cleared my throat to get his attention while holding my head towards my iPad. I felt his eyes burning holes through my clothes. My cheeks heated up at the throught of him look at me again, I felt like I was in college again and he would just stare at me for what seems like hours just to see me blush so hard, until my face would look like a tomato.
" Em is-is that really you?" he asked. My nickname he use to call me some years ago sent shivers down my spine and my cheeks got even redder at this. I wasn't sure why I still make his voice affect me so much.
I looked at him, and for a moment I felt like he hadn't done anything wrong and I wanted nothing more than to run to him and kiss his sexy pink plump lips and hugged him and never let go.
"Emily or Doctor Davis... Anyone is fine. "I smiled at him fighting back the tears the memories of his betrayal brought back to me.
"Ye ye sure Em- Emily. " he said awkwardly.
He kept his eyes on me the whole time as I explain to him every injury he had suffered.
"Thank you.." he said then clear his throat. "Thank you for saving me."
"No big deal its my job" I replied. His faced looked like he was expecting something else.
" Your mother will be here in a hour or so-"
" I dont Want to see that woman anytime soon, dont let her in here. " he said and just as I was going to answer the door open.
"Liam how much longer are you gonna be upset about someo-" she said and I was shook to say the least.
"Mom stop you have done enough, now look at me, you made this happen. Just please leave. " he said claim but his eyes showed everything he felt at that moment. Before I could anazlyed his eyes some more his mother turned to me.
"Doctor can you tell me - " she stop talking as soon as I turned to face her. "Emily" she said, it sounded more like a question to me but I just simply nod.
"Why are you here" she stare at me with eyes that would kill me if looks could.
"I'm his doctors until he is better and able to be discharged." I said to her. Her face brought back so much memory, bad memories. Things I would like to forget, but here I am standing in same room, breathing the same air as her again.
I know Karma is a bitch, but the universe sure does hate me.
