Liam's POV:
Upon waking up in the morning, I made sure to buy a bouquet of Cassie's favorite flowers.
I went to the hospital, opened the door of her ward, only to find that there was nobody inside.
Seeing the empty room made me panic.
I immediately looked for Cassie's attending doctor.
"Doctor, where is Cassie?" I asked.
Seemingly confused, the doctor replied, "Is she not inside her ward?"
I shook my head with a serious expression.
"Hang on, sir." The doctor found information on Cassie in the computer. "Miss Jenner hasn't gone through the discharge formalities. Maybe she's just taking a walk in the garden downstairs."
I had a bad feeling about this.
I searched every nook and cranny of the hospital, but Cassie was still nowhere to be found.
What was even more terrifying was the fact that our daughter wasn't in the hospital's nursery room.
'How could they disappear just like that? Did someone take them away or did they really leave without saying goodbye to me?'
I was so worried that I hurried to Cassie's place.
The moment I opened the door, I felt so nervous.
It felt as though I was treading across a steel wire. In my heart of hearts, I hoped that Cassie was here.
But to my chagrin, she wasn't home.
Dejected, I fell to my knees and my mind went blank.
'What the hell is going on?'
It was then that I noticed an envelope on the tea table.
I opened it and saw a letter from Cassie inside.
"I'm so sorry, Liam. I know that you've cancelled the wedding for my sake, but I also know that the Hill family isn't going to let me go easily. I can't expect you to abandon your family, and that's why I've chosen to leave with our daughter. I wish you happiness. All my love, Cassie."
Aside from the letter, there were several pictures of our daughter inside the envelope.
Our baby was so fragile, but her glistening eyes seemed to be magical. They rendered me unable to take my eyes off her.
With trembling hands, I gripped the letter tightly.
"No! This can't be!"
Cassie risked even her own life just to be with me and then she gave birth to our child.
'How could she leave me and take our daughter with her? Someone must've forced her to do so!'
The moment I gathered my composure, I dialed Nancy's number at once.
She wasn't answering her phone.
I called her again and again, and Nancy finally answered the phone in a weak, hoarse voice.
"Liam, I don't think it's necessary for us to stay in touch."
"Did you take Cassie and my daughter away?" I shouted anxiously. Silence ensued on the other line for a few seconds.
It was then followed by Nancy's laughter.
"Hahaha! Oh, my God! That woman left you? Well, congratulations! This is just freaking hilarious!"
