"Drink the soup." He said not giving a reply to her question.
Minutes later, they walked down the stairs together... Her head had stopped spinning, she was inwardly thankful for the soup.
Tapping the ear bud on his ear once,
"We are almost there, remove any threats??" he said, skipping several steps so that she doesn't hear him.
"Why are you walking fast now??" she half yelled while trying to keep up with him.

Inside the room;
Theo still faced the window, he kept looking outside as if he was planning to jump out that got the bulky man there scared a bit.
He had been walking close to Theo to check on the little boy. He was amused that the boy who kept on talking since was this quiet now that he suspected the boy was planning something.
He had passed by and looked out the window but he couldn't see anything amusing there except different cars.... and the only sound he could hear was the horning of cars.
Hearing the door open, the man sighed in relief, at the same time, he looked towards the boy that was backing the door but the boy didn't seem to have heard the door sound cause he still had his face turned towards the window.
"Theo!!" Adira exclaimed..... her voice rang through the room but the little guy sitting by the window still didn't turn.
Seeing him sitting by the window, Adira felt so solemn. He looked so lonely sitting like that, she could tell he wasn't sleeping.
"Theo!" she said again this time lower, tears already ran down her eyes, she walked towards him slowly.
"Theo!" she called out again while looking closely at his face. She could clearly see that he had been crying.
"Theo... what's wrong??" she asked when she saw him blink.
"Mom..." he said while adjusting his glasses to clean his tears.
Hearing Theo's word, Liam that stood at the door since, walked closer.
"You can leave." He mouthed to the bulky man.
He was certain Theo said "mom"... several thoughts crossed him
'Could she be lying about being Theo's sister? but why??'
"Mom isn't here, okay??" Adira said giving him a hug.
Glancing through the window, she could guess what got him like this. Surprisingly, he wasn't crying like that day.
*sobs*
"Sis... *sobs*" Listening to his sobs she heard a baby's loud cry... causing her to subconsciously hold Theo tighter.
Looking at the duo, Liam walked forward and tapped Adira on the back.
"You'll crush him." He whispered softly when she turned to look at him.
Hearing Liam's voice, Theo looked up.
" Uncle!!" he exclaimed with a small smile, raising his hands, he used his sleeves to quickly wipe off his tears.
He looked so cute, struggling to get off Adira's hug. Liam could only imagine if this was his family, he could swear to dote on them through out his life.
"Let me go!" Theo whined after he had tried to shake off her hug.. all to no avail.
Hearing his little voice,she distanced her self from him a bit. Smiling at her, Theo walked towards Liam still holding the same smile.
Adira sat still wondering.... she couldn't understand who had that voice and where she heard it before but she was certain that it was one of the missing piece from her past.
"How is my boy doing??" Liam asked while bending down so he could carry the young child that looked like he was yearning his father's love.
"I'm good, uncle." Theo replied with a bright smile.
Before they could carry on with the conversation, Knight walked in to the room and towards Liam.
"You have a important business meeting now and your dad is also requesting that you meet him immediately." Mr Fredrick, his secretary whispered to him.
"Okay.... I'm coming back, okay??" Liam said while ruffling on Theo's hair.
*****
Silence filled the room, the atmosphere was tense enough to cut with a knife.
"This proposal is good." Amelia's father said with crossed shoulders.
Looking at Amelia standing there, Liam shook his head. He knew what they wanted to do and even if this business was good he was sure he'll reduce the bad consequence of it.
"Indeed." he spoke for the first time in this meeting.
