Mr Mason's Pov
Mr Mason was standing in front of the grave of his late wife.
He wasn't showing any emotions, but you could feel that he was sorrowful.
Two guards and his personal bodyguard called John were standing behind him, guarding him since he was a successful businessman.
Where is Liam? asks Mr Mason.
"He already left the university and was on his way here, but I don't know why he is soo late. Shall I give him a call?"
No, let it be. Liam never missed his mother's death anniversary, so I shouldn't be worried about him. I have trust that he will come.
They nodded their heads and took a step back to give him some privacy.
Buzz, his phone goes off,
Mr Mason takes the phone out of his pocket and picks up the call.
"Hello, is this the family of Liam?"
Yes, I am his father. Why do you ask?
"Unfortunately, your son has been in an accident and is now under ER. You need to come here as fast as possible."
Because of the shock, Mr Mason doesn't give an answer.
"Hello, are you still there, sir?"
John goes to Mr Mason and says 'Let me' and gets the phone from him. He took the phone from the hand of Mr Mason and respond to it.
He understood the situation and took Mr Mason to his car to go to the hospital.
During their drive to the hospital, his personal guard ordered the doctors to be ready before they came.
When they arrived at the hospital, they were apprised that Liam was now taken to the surgery room. While John was filling the form and paying, Mr Manson was sitting in front of the operation room.
Plenty of doctors rushed to Mr Mason including, the director of the hospital. He came with the best doctors in the whole hospital. They fear the Mason Family. The money they receive for the hospital comes from his family. They all knew that they have to do everything to save his only son.
Mr Mason didn't say anything that made the doctors more afraid of him.
WHY ARE YOU GUYS STILL STANDING HERE?!! MY SON IS LYING IN THAT BED WITHOUT MOVING, AND ALL YOU SAY IS "WE CAME WITH THE BEST DOCTORS"!!!? Are you kidding me?
Do I have to tell you what to do in this situation? he screams at them. The doctors looked down and nodded their heads. They went to the surgery room as fast as they could. They didn't want to be on the bad side of Mr Mason.
After hours have passed, the doctors came out of the ER. They couldn't speak because they were restless about what they had to say.
Mr Mason was so impatient and asked them how it went. The doctors were looking down, and one of them started to dare to speak.
"Mr Mason, it turns to be that Mr Liam has a blurred vision. It happened because of the accident. We found some glasses in his eyes. His eyes were damaged.
What do you mean my son has a blurred vision?
"In other words, he won't see things as good as he saw before but he is not completely blind which means if we do eye surgery then he will regain his eye vision"
You only had one job to do, and that is to save my son. if you fail you will have to bear the consciences.
"Mr Mason, please calm down. We promise you that we will do our best".
"Mr Mason, please calm down. I will look into it" said John, the personal bodyguard."
I need to see him, RIGHT NOW!!
"You can go and check on him, but please don't make a fuss. He is still unconscious".
Mr Mason opens the door and goes into the room. He walks to the bed and sits on the chair beside it. He intertwined his hand with Liam.
My son, Who did this to you? I will let them pay for what they did to you.
It was first your mother who left me, and now you have to live in this darkness?! I can't accept this from you!
You have to prove that the doctors are lying to me. I know that I have never been the father you wanted me to be, but I will try to change in the future if you wake up.
"Sir, we found the man who did this to your son," says John
BRING HIM TO ME, RIGHT NOW JOHN!!
"Unfortunately, he attempted suicide before we could catch him".
What do you mean "he attempted suicide"?!
"He killed himself, sir, and I think someone else is behind all this".
What are you waiting for then? Go found that person and bring that person alive to me.
And before Mason could say more, Liam moves his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing in the dark? Turn the lights on."
Liam... the lights are on.
Mr Mason goes closer to Liam and grabs his hands even tighter.
Liam, you have a blurred vision because of the accident, but they will do eye surgery and you will be fine after that.
I have a meeting to attend. I have to go now, son.
I will come and visit you later.
"Sir, why don't you stay with him? I can handle everything by myself" says John
It is okay, I know he is strong.
"Yes, sir, says John".

Alice Pov:
hours passed, and the doctors are still in the ER. All Alice does is constantly walking around without taking a break. She checks her phone and sees that her mother didn't call, either did she see her being here. She is question herself.
What is taking mom so longs? What if something happened to mom too?
Whereas she was thinking, the ER opens. The doctors come out.
I run to him.
Doctor, please tell me my father is okay, I say while crying.
"I am sorry to tell you that your father's body is gone paralysed. We tried our best, but we couldn't do anything for him. We are very sorry".
What did you say? Are you saying now that he will have to live like this for his whole life?
"Yes, we are sorry to inform you that," says the doctor and walks away from me
WHAT! what am I going to do now? What am I going to tell him?
I stood there crying very loud. I wasn't in my right mind.
Where is mom when I need her? This is too much for me to handle.
All I needed to do right now is being with my dad. I need to see him.
I rushed into the room my dad was just brought a second ago, and I walked in slowly, not because I didn't want to run but because my legs didn't want to go any further.
I cried soo much. My tears stopped falling.
Why does it have to be him from all the people? Why him? He is nice, kind, warmhearted, and he did everything for my happiness. I asked myself
I slowly walk to him and grabbed his hand. I stared at it for a while, wishing he will wake up.
I wish all of this is a nightmare, and that I would wake up from it.
Someone opens the door, and I looked up and see that it is the nurse.
"Miss Jonathan, the police is waiting for you outside. Can you go and have a talk with them, please?" asks the nurse.
I want to stay with my father now, can they come back later?
" It is about the incident that happened to your father. They want to ask you a few questions."
Oke, I will come in a minute.
"I will inform them about it." and she leaves
I look one last time at my dad face and go outside to talk with the police.
" I am sorry about what happened to your dad. We have to inform you that the criminal that did this to your dad had just attempted suicide." says the police with a sympathy look
What do you mean? Is this planned by someone else?? Why would he do that to my dad and then attempt suicide? Are you sure that it was him?
" We know you have many questions, but we are still under investigating the case with your father. We are here to ask you a few questions".
Yes, go ahead.
He picks a picture out of his notebook and shows it to her.
"Do you know this man, or did you see him with your father before?"
No, I don't know, and I never saw him with my dad. This is my first time seeing him.
"Right, Does your father have any enemies or people that despise him?"
No, My father is always kind and respectful to people, and I never saw him arguing or fighting with other people.
" Got you. One last question. It says here that you live with your father and mother, but I heard your mother is not here yet. Where is she?."
Oh, I am not sure.
My phone's battery ran out. I didn't call her yet. I lied to them and I don't know why I did that
"Thank you for your cooperation. We promise you that we will investigate more clearly and that you will be the first person to know if we find something out."
I appreciate that. I smile at them, and then after that, the police left.
"You have to fill in the form and then bring it to the reception," says the nurse to me.
I take the form and fill it in.
While I was taking the form to the reception, I bumped against someone.
I fall to the ground. I look up and see someone stretches a hand towards me.
"Are you okay, dear??" asks the old man me.
I stand up and say that I am fine. He looked so friendly
Thank you for asking. I smiled weak at him
"Are you sure? You look pale." says the man
Yes, I am fine. Don't worry about me.
The man left me after he made sure I was okay.
