"Alyssa" I called out, "I have nothing against you and seriously I swear, I accidentally bumped into Drake, you can ask him".
I added.
"Yes, she's right" Drake concedes.
Alyssa shoots a frown on her face and forcefully dragged him downstairs, Andres and I looked at them.
Although it's only been a day, and I shouldn't count my eggs before it hatches, I strongly believe that Drake is Liam Khan, my Liam, minus the fact they look alike, they both have the same touch, whenever our body comes in contact with each other.
"Mom, are you okay?". Andre's placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Yes!! I am okay?". I answered back and he walks away.
The same day, I was seated at the gardens, Liam always loved staying here, to him, gardens were like a magical railway to a fairy tale island.
"Hey!! You again".
A masculine voice asserted from behind, I veered back and took notice of drake at the garden.
"What are you doing here?". I said.
Drake maintained a calm smile and posture just like Liam and swiftly made his way closer to me.
"Hello!!! And I am sorry about this morning, but to answer your question, I was passing by and I saw this beautiful garden, and the beautiful lady standing in front of me". He says.
And there it was, that odd feeling, the intense gaze in his eyes at ran chills through my spine, can it be the Liam?....
"Thanks for the compliment," I said.
I walked to the exit and not expecting anything to happen, he takes my hand back and slammed me on the wall.
"What...are..you... doing?"
I said.
His grip was held too tightly, "what do you think?" Drake answered back donning a sly smile on his face.
"I don't know what going on here!! Miss Sara Scott but I have this feeling that I know you and this house, feels like I have been here before".
He added.
I hoisted my head, and saw how he tries to recollect, he lets go and swiftly pulls away from me.
"Drake? Are you okay?" I asked.
He returns his eyes to me and just then drops to the floor without a warning.
"Drake? Oh my goodness? Andre's".
Andre's ran out the second I called out to him, he runs to help him up and takes him to his room.
Alyssa returned and saw what happened, she tossed her bag on the floor and ran over to him.
"Baby! Are you okay?" She says donning a terrified look on her face, while Andre tries to get a hold of the doctor.
One hour later - the doctor came home and ran some checks on him, he veers his eye backward and said, he was going to find but we need to run some tests on him to be sure.
94.
(The whole day drifts to the following morning)
Before anyone saw me, I left for the hospital to get the medical reports of Drake, somehow the thought of him not being Liam, kept me up throughout the night.
(Saint Louis hospital)
My feet walked into the doctor's cabin after getting directions to it.
"Good morning doctor!!" I looked down and saw his name tag on his lab coat, "Steve" I said as he turns to the side and took notice of what happened.
"Good morning, miss Sara Scott!! I believe you're here for Mr. Drake's report". He says to me.
"Yes sir!! I am, can I please have it?" I answered back as he offered me a seat.
"Have a seat and I'll go get the reports". He walks out of his cabin to get a hold of the medical reports.
(A few minutes later, strolls back in)
"Here you are miss". Steve hands over the reports, and seats down opposite direction from me.
I read through but the grammar used, got me confused to a point, I lifted my head and asked for further explanation.
The doctor says, " ma'am, as you can see, Drake, suffers from Alzheimer's disease, it is an ongoing pattern of forgetting things, be it where the grocery store is or even the name of family and friends as well".
Heeding to his words, I recollected Drake's off behavior, while we were at the garden, it felt he was trying to recollect his past life, but something kept blocking it, and if my calculations are right, that actually might be Liam.
"Thank you, doctor". I added and rode back home, there was something off and I need to find out.
