What shocked Aliya after all this was the fact that Ian never came to see her in the days that followed as well. She never expected the members of the Thornston family to do that because they had no relations to each other, but Ian was different… at least in her eyes, she had some weight in his heart.
From the first day, Aliya had braced herself for the changes that could occur, but never in her wildest dreams did she expect that Ian never stepped a foot in her hospital room after that day. He did call in from time to time to find out about her but apart from this, he never made any other effort.
Ian made sure that she wanted nothing as there was an around-the-clock care for her, but this was not what Aliya wanted! She wanted him! And no one else!
