At The Hospital
Walking into the hospital, Liz looked around before finding Mary and Derek who were sitting in the waiting area.
Seeing his sister after so long, Derek got tears in his eyes and ran to her.
Bending down, Liz took him into her arms and hugged him tightly, letting him cry it out.
She had heard from Mary about the reporters who had harassed the little kid with questions, and although she had been furious, all she could do was ensure that their magazine/newspaper was sent such a strong notice that they wouldn't dare to do anything similar again.
Kissing him on the cheek, she looked into the little kid's eyes and said, "Sis is here, my little munchkin."
Nodding, Derek quickly stopped crying after hugging her again for a few more seconds.
Liz felt as if her heart was tearing apart, and she cursed that Ellen again in her mind.
Now, she regretted not destroying her life completely.
