Liam’s Gift

-Two Weeks Later-

Anastasia's days blurred together in a relentless cycle of work, worry, and dedication.

Every day, she made the journey to visit Cobra, her heart heavy with concern yet determined to offer him solace.

The routine was exhausting, but Ana found solace in the video calls to Liam.

She drew strength from their conversations, finding comfort in his unwavering support.

She told her mother about Cobra being her other fate and it did not go very well.

Despite her mother's disapproval of her bond with Cobra, Ana remained resolute in her decision.

She understood the risks but refused to let anyone dictate her heart's desires.

Cobra's condition remained unstable, his demeanor alternating between moments of calm and bursts of aggression.

The staff's struggles to manage his behavior only added to Ana's burden.

She witnessed firsthand the toll it took on both Cobra and those trying to help him.
