CHAPTER 113
Slowly, Alyssa took in the noises that seemed to be coming from around wherever she was at the moment. First, she heard a scream and then a laughter. After a moment, it transited to hushed sounds, whispers and then, laughter again.
It was Tiffany, Liam and Tim. They seemed to be playing with Tim who wouldn’t stop playing around them. He had asked them why Alyssa was still asleep for a long time and they had told him that she would be awake soon, since she was under the influence of something that would make her sleep so well.
The little boy didn’t seem to understand all what they said, but since they said that she would be awake soon, he was fine with it.
“Come here, big boy!” Liam said as he grabbed Tim who squealed and started giggling excitedly.
Liam on his part could not hold the joy in his heart. The presence of his son gladdened his heart greatly, and he no longer dwelt in solemnity that came as a result of Alyssa’s present state.
“He looks so much like his mother!” Tiffany commented while Liam wore a quick scowl.
He was not ready to accept such comment from her and so, he dropped Tim down and faced Tiffany.
“Prove it!” He said defiantly, placing his hands across his chest and staring at Tiffany who giggled when she caught sight of jealousy in his eyes.
“His nose, his eyes”, Tiffany started saying in a hushed tone as she turned her eyes to Alyssa who was sleeping comfortably.
“Look at her lips too”, she said while Liam shifted his eyes to her.
He missed her greatly and couldn’t wait for her to wake up and peer into his eyes.
Alyssa stirred slightly and immediately, they rushed closer to her.
The noise seemed to be disturbing Alyssa because she could feel a terrible migraine and some sort of bump at the right side of her head. She groaned calmly as she made to turn her eyes open.
Liam exchanged glances with Tiffany who stared back at him. He walked closer and grabbed Alyssa’s hands, placing quick kisses on it while hoping that she would wake up this time.
She groaned again, louder this time, after which she struggled to sit up on the bed.
Liam’s heart raced in excitement as it abruptly dawned on him that Alyssa was finally waking up.
He helped her sit up on the bed, placing quick kisses on her neck and caressing her cheeks calmly.
“You’re fine, my love. I’m here…”, Liam muttered as he blinked back the tears of appreciation that were beginning to well up in his eyes.
He was thankful that Alyssa had come back to theme
“We are here. Tiffany is here and Tim is here too”, Tiffany said with an emotional voice as she wiped off tears that had trickled out of her eyes.
Alyssa could hear what they said vividly and that gladdened her heart. Her heart shot opened instantly and she grimaced the moment the light rays struck her eyes.
She closed them back and this time, slowly opened it up.
She caught sight of Liam first, then Tiffany and Tim.
After that, she returned her gaze to Liam and her eyes glimmered with delight.
“You are here!” Alyssa squealed in excitement as she pulled Liam into a warm hug.
Tim ran to her immediately and hopped on the bed while she picked him up and placed several kisses on his cheeks.
“My boy!” She said lovingly as tears finally started streaming down her eyes.
“We waited for so long”, Liam said as he placed quick kisses on her hands.
Tiffany walked closer and pulled her into a tight hug again. She was glad that her friend was finally back
Some other people around the palace came in and in a split second, the room was filled with shouts and screams that for a moment, Alyssa felt the migraine again.
She tried so hard to smile as she received each of their goodwill messages. She was glad that everyone cared about her and prayed for her to get better.
After a moment, the noise lessened and it was only her and Liam, with Tim who was now sleeping peacefully beside her on the bed.
“I’m excited that you are doing okay. I was scared that something bad would happen to you,” Liam said as he caressed her hands lovingly.
Alyssa smiled deeply and hit him playfully.
“I would never leave you here alone! I can’t punish you in such manner”, she said with a giggle while he licked his lower lips in delight.
“Do you recall anything at all?” Liam finally asked as he sat up and searched her eyes thorough.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
All through the days Alyssa had remained unconsciously, he had patiently waited for her to wake up so that they would figure out what might have happened together.
“I recall what I did back there. It was amazing!” She said and looked at Liam who was giving her a suspicious glare.
“Ohh! Trust me, I had no idea that I could do that. I didn’t even know how I did something like that”, she said calmly and drifted away in thoughts.
“I think you might be a witch. We both know that”, Liam said and for a moment, Alyssa kept mute to ponder over what he had said.
Inasmuch as it was hard to believe, there was every probability that it was the truth. That means, there was something she was yet to know about her history and origin.
“I think there is something I’m missing out. Perhaps, a secret or something like that about me. I need to know who I am”, Alyssa suddenly said as a wave of interest flushed through her.
She was now eager to know what exactly she was, how she had gotten those powers and why she didn’t know of it all these years.
“You should rest for tonight. You have just recovered and I wouldn’t want you to strain yourself another time”, Liam said and gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
Alyssa nodded in affirmation and smiled widely. She gestured for him to come over and sleep beside her as she wouldn’t want to sleep alone.
“Stay with me”, Alyssa said as she moved aside to create space for him.
They stayed in each other’s arms, gazing at their son who was at the other end of the bed.
“Did you tell anyone about what happened that day?” Alyssa asked the one question she had in her heart.
“I didn’t tell anyone about it. Neither did I tell anyone that you might be a witch”, Liam added and Alyssa smiled in satisfaction.
She was glad that he respected her and didn’t go about telling people, even if there was every need to since it was very strange.
“Aren’t you worried about who I am now?” Alyssa asked as she gazed into his eyes.
Her greatest fear was that he would change after discovering who she was. But he wasn’t moved at all and that got her concerned.
“Not at all. It didn’t change who you are, did it?” Hunger asked and Alyssa shook her head negatively.
“If you want to know, I love you even more”, Liam chimed out and Alyssa stared at him with a bewildered gaze.
“I love you”, she whispered and hugged him passionately.
He placed a soft kiss on her lips after which they retreated to get some sleep.
