Becoming strangers again (Lily and Ryan) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 

LILY 

I AM COMING HOME 

I blinked at the text, trying to understand what it really means but failed to. 

I know the text is from Ryan, and it means that he is coming to Canada, but there is a desperation that comes with the text that I do not understand. 

Transferring the hospital coat to my left hand, I dialed his number but it went to his voicemail. Trying so hard not to overthink the situation. I have not seen Ryan type with so much desperation. 

Turning off the stove, I leaned on the kitchen island and continued dialing his number but I kept being redirected to his voicemail. 

I would have called Angelo to find out what was going on, but I don’t have his number saved up in my phone. He has called me a few times, but I didn’t save his number. 

Scrolling through the few unsaved number that I have spoken with over the past few weeks, I hoped the one I picked out is Angelo’s. 

Dialing the number, I placed the phone on my ear and waited for him to pick. He finally did. “Hello? Angelo?” I breathed out, hoping he is really the one on the line. 

“Hello ma’am,” a voice that definitely didn’t belong to Angelo responded. “I don’t know who you were trying to call, but this is Dr. Rashid.” 

Shit! The Indian residence doctor. “Hi doctor Rashid,” 1 greeted, “I am sorry i 

if I bothered you or caused you nay inconvenience, but I as trying to call someone else.” 

“Its fine,” he assured me, “things like that happen.” 

“Thank you for understanding.” Disconnecting the call, I tried the next unsaved number and thankfully I got it right this time. “Angelo? Where is Ryan?” I breathed out in a hurry the moment I heard his voice. “He sent I a weird call and o have been trying to reach home, but he isn’t taking my calls.” 

“It is not that he isn’t taking your calls.” Angelo informed me, “Ryan has been on a call for over two hours, which is why I think he was unable to take

your call.”

Oh… I guess I was worrying for nothing. “Everything is fine with him right?” 

He kept quiet for a moment. “No,” he responded, “man almost lost his mind. today. 

His words made my body tense with worry “What happened today?” I asked, “Is 

he hurt? 

“Emotionally? Yes,” he responded, “he heard some crazy things from Stephanie today that made him lose his mind, and ever since he has been making calls to make sure that everything about the William’s family is disassociated from the Waper’s family.” 

I really want to know what’s happening but Angelo isn’t the one I should be asking. “Please tell him to call me back once he is done with the call.” 

“I think you should be more patient” he advised. “I believe he is coming down to Canada today and he isn’t leaving anytime soon. 

I still want to speak to him, to hear his voice 

It is the only way I will be calm. “Sure.” I replied, giving him the response he wants to hear because I very much. know that I will be calling Ryan again.

As soon as the call disconnected, I sent him a text again. 

IF YOU NEED ME RYAN, PLEASE DO NOT HESTIATE TO CALL. 

Clicking on the send button, I dropped the phone on the counter and returned to cooking, hoping to get a response from him. 

However, when I didn’t get any response, I knew I had to keep my mind busy or I was going to constantly worry. After cooking, I decided to make a quick stop at the grocery store to get some things for the house, since the boys are asleep and we are short of some things. 

Quickly changing, I informed the nanny that I was stepping out before getting into. my car, and drove off. However, what I didn’t expect was that a grocery shopping that was supposed to take my mind out of constant worry, appeared as anger in form of Veronica. 

She halted with a taunting smile when she saw me and of course walked up to me. “I see you are learning to be more domesticated now that you don’t have a job.” 

Taking a deep breath, I inwardly told myself not to let her words affect me. “Don’t

get ahead of yourself Veronica.” I advised. “You are and your son are just filling my seat temporarily, so don’t let it get into your head.”
