Liam:
,,Dad.. Look. I can explain everything to you," James said when we got to the office. I looked at him and slapped him hard. I had incredible anger inside me.
,,You explain it to me? I heard everything! So I pay for the most expensive University in Los Angeles and you do this? You will never call Chris a jerk again. Do you hear me?," I screamed loudly and grabbed his shirt.
"Okay.. I understand," he whispered quietly. I let him go and looked at him.
"You poured acid on that girl. Do you realize what you did James? She has burns on her hands! Do you even realize the consequences of your actions? I save lives and you almost ruined one! You would have a criminal complaint on your neck if it weren't for me," I screamed loudly
"What do you mean?,"
"There was a camera recording from the day it happened. If it weren't for me, you would have been in prison a long time ago James! I paid a lot of money for you. The prosecutor wanted to write a criminal complaint against you and you can tell Daisy that she denied everything. She said she didn't remember anything about that evening but we both know that I remember. Why did you do it? Why did you pour acid on her? Including that neck. Is that your fault too?" I said out loud
,,Father. Please,,"
,,I've had enough of your outbursts James! Enough! I want to know right away how long you've been together and why you did what you did! Will it be for James? Tell me right away,,"
,,2 years but our relationship didn't work father. It really didn't work.. Then I started like Zoe. With her sister but why are we even talking about it?,,"
,,What you're doing is shit, I'm saving it! From today on, Daisy is in my care and I don't care what you think about it. I'm going to help her and that's just because you almost killed her! I never thought I'd do this. Do you realize how much trouble you've gotten me into?,,," I screamed.
,,But that's not your duty! Her parents gave up on her because they know what her father is like," James shouted loudly. I raised my eyebrows.
"She burned her neck James? She burned both her hands? No! You did it to her James and I will do everything to make it up to you. Will you one day become a doctor? There will be nothing of you James! How many more lives have you ruined? How many? I don't care what her relationship with her parents is like, but the fact is that you almost killed her. I saw the camera footage, you kicked her, you poured water on her hands and added. She screamed in pain but you didn't stop. Is this the behavior of a normal adult?" I shouted loudly
"She provoked me. "You're to blame," he said. I thought I was going to get hit. How could I have brought up something so stupid?
"Daisy is in my care in a few months and I'll help her, remove that burnt skin. I'll fix everything you've messed up. I don't want to see you in her presence, James. Don't go near her. Got it? If you do that, I'll go to the DA and send you to prison for a few years,"
"I'm your son, father! Would you send me to prison?", "
"I'll do it to James! Do you understand? Don't go near her, leave her alone! I want to see your grades improve at the University and if they don't, I'll take away all your credit cards. Got it? Get out now! I want to be alone,"
"Why are you stopping her like that? Why won't you listen to what I'm saying? Why?,,"
,,Because you almost killed her. That's why James! I'm a doctor, don't you understand? I save lives every day and what are you going to do? You tried to kill her. I don't care what's going on between you two, but this is not happening. Daisy is in my care from today. She's under my protection and I don't want you to go to her. I'll do everything to get her out of this," I screamed loudly
,,She's a bitch,,
,,Enough James! Enough. Don't test my patience anymore! If the head of the University calls me tomorrow to say you failed your exam, I'll take away all your credit cards. Okay? Now get out,"
,,But dad,,
,,James! Get out! Are you deaf?,," I screamed loudly. He looked at me and walked away. I sat down on a chair and drank my coffee. Chris came into the office and looked at me.
"I could hear you outside. Are you okay Liam?" he asked and sat down opposite me. I sighed and picked up the photo I had on the table. It was a photo of me and James.
"I don't feel good at all Chris. How could I have raised something so evil?" I said and put the photo back on the table.
"Don't take it, Liam. Parents are not responsible for their children's mistakes. I know I have nothing to advise you because I don't have children, but maybe James can improve. Among other things, he was raised by Kate, your ex-girlfriend. You only had him in shared custody,"
,,For years I tried to be strict with him.. I gave him money. I bought him a car. I gave him everything and how did it turn out? It turned out that he tried to kill Daisy,"
,,Is that why you took her into your care? Do you have any remorse?,, he asked me and raised an eyebrow. I looked at him and nodded.
,,I always tried to be a cold man.. I never dreamed that I would ever help anyone. I spent years building my career, building my status but what happened can't
m just leave it like that. I'm not that cold. I should feel guilty. James poured water on her hands to add. How is she doing?,,"
,,I tied her hands Liam.. And I think it's bothering her quite a bit. She'll gradually get back together but she knows what kind of hands she'll have. The acid is very strong and her whole hands are burned.. She'll have scars on her hands and that's what she'll be left with. Look how young she is and how she turned out,," he said and smiled.
,,Then we can put her hands back together later. Some plastic surgery or something. But I don't want it that way for now,," I said. Someone knocked. Lily came in. Daisy's mom. Chris stood up and looked at her.
,,Lily?,"
,,Hi Chris.. Long time no see,," she muttered in a weak voice. I didn't understand. They hadn't seen each other in real life. How did they know each other? Lily looked at me and wanted to tell me something.
