"Why did you put a travel ban on me, mom! Am asking you?! Channi didn't avert her gaze on Liam, 'stupid boy! she thought, she didn't answer him at first, she brought out a cigar, lit it and took a drag, the smell of smoke filled the whole office, Liam was getting provoked by the second seeing his mother's attitude. After a while, Liam spoke up again, " I asked you the reason why I ha-..... " Shut up! just keep quiet Liam! Can't you just try to be reasonable for once? And yes, I put a travel ban on your name, because I can't let you leave! Channi then stood up with the cigar in between her fingers and walked over in unhurried steps towards him and spoke in a low tone, " Liam, you still don't believe me, but all I said about Nora is true. She took the money and left you, Son, I didn't make her leave, if I made her leave then I would know where she is, but I don't know, she took the money and left! so just believe me and don't leave son, please? Mama can't live without you, okay? please? Liam was confused, he really wanted to stay, but Nora leaving him broke him, she was his everything, he paid her tuitions from high school to nursing school, he never looked at other women since he started dating her. He started dating Nora when she was in high school, and he was in the university, after her high school, he sponsored her tertiary education and she proceeded to Nursing school and was now working in his mother's hospital as a nurse.

He then knelt down, " please mom"
Channi looked at him and turned her face away, " I'll give you only 3months to sort yourself out and return, if you don't come back after these three months then I'll get you back here myself, you know I can! She then turned to face Lim, her expression indifferent, but Lim knew better to take her seriously.
