The voice of the call interrupted everything when Alex went out of the room to attend it. Somehow, Anna found it suspicious as well. How can she know who it is on the call at this point?

She did notice the frown that settled on his face when he saw the dialer, 'Maybe, I'm overthinking about everything. Might be someone from his office or someone.' With this, she looked at the doctor who was bandaging her hand and was finally done.

"Please keep your hand away from water. If it comes in contact, it will ache you a lot and give you a lot of trouble. also.. these are the medicines if needed in the time of extreme pain." The prescription was going to be handed out to her but Alex appeared.

He took the prescription from the doctor's hand and looked through the medicines. "Alright. Thank you so much, doctor. We have to go somewhere else now." Saying this he held Anna's other hand and turned around.

"Alex, where the hell are we even doing now?" She is totally confused by his actions. Second ago he received a call and now he is almost dragging her to somewhere else.

But instead of answering her through his words, he brought them to the same lobby where she saw her mother was now in talks with the doctor. Seeing that the emergency room was open, she ran to the mother's side to hear about her father leaving Alex's hand behind.

Coming to them, Anna looked at the doctor with her worried eyes and asked her, "Doctor, is everything okay? Is dad fine now?" 

"Ms. Walker we have removed the bullet totally and it is better. The wound was quite swollen as well so it will take time. Proper bed rest is suggested to Mr. walker. Otherwise, everything is perfect." 

A relieved sigh escaped through her lips. She was just praying in her heart that everything comes into position and here goes it. She hugged her mother from behind and rested her head on her neck.

"Thank God, mom" Marrie rubbed Anna's cheeks lightly and found her attention back to the doctor. "When can we meet him now?" 

"Um Currently, he is unconscious. We are shifting him to the ward and there all the family members can see them then. Thank you." With these words, the doctor left the room and all the family members were now stress relieved.

With this, Alex who was standing at a certain distance looked at the family which was hugging each other as if it was the end of the word. Smiles can be seen and just a small smirk appeared on his face witnessing so much love.

'How does it actually feel to have a family now?' He really wondered the same but unfortunately, he has no proper family yet.

But it seems his gloominess was seen by Anna who looked at him. While she was hugging Marrie, her eyes traveled to his face where they both gazes met. At this moment, she signaled him with her hand- asking him to come and join them.

At first, he was hesitant. His eyes said, 'No..It is your family moment..' and he wasn't their family but for Anna, it wasn't the same thing. The person who actually helped them save her family, accompanied her all along to bring Liam to the hospital, how can he be any less than a family? especially when he is the baby daddy!

When she saw the reluctant look on his face, Anna ruined her face to her mother, "Mom, see Alex isn't joining us." 

Hearing this Marrie too signaled him and at last, he just gave up. Without thinking about anything else, Alex came near them and gave Marrie and Anna a bear hug under his embrace at which all the family members.

"Okay okay, Alex you can stay within your limits, this is the hospital and ahem, I won't blame your though. Our Anna is so beautiful that every man might fall for her." This time Klara teased a little bit but in the middle, she was enjoying every element of the moment.

Her son wasn't there with her but for a time being, she knows that Leo must be wanting her to be happy. And she would do the same thing.

Anna blushed at his stamen and hid her face in her mother's neck at which Marrie laughed. "Why don't you both go on a date now?"

.

While the happiness was spread all over the Walker family after the news that Liam is fine, there was turmoil going on in Alena's place.

The day when she has to go and meet her father-in-law at her grave has come now. But she is conflicted on how to convince Jack? She has tried to talk about his past but he shuts her down immediately, saying that he has no wish to be reminded about everything.

Alena was sitting on her bed, and as it was morning, Jack was in the bathroom getting fresh and ready to go to the office.

'But obviously, I can't let him go to the office today. How will we both go to mom's grave then?' she was really confused about what to do. Jack came out after taking a shower.

A towel wrapped around his bottom and another towel which he used to make his wet hair dry. Coming out he noticed the sadness that has crept out on his wife. "Wifey, what happened to you?" 

Ignoring him and his words totally, she just picked herself from the bed and took her to the cabinet to take his formal wear out. She chose a black coat along with black pants but didn't utter even a single word.

Jack came near her from behind and hugged her tightly in his embrace, "Alena, are you hiding something from me? Or do you want something? If you do, why don't you ask me simply without being angry and moody?" 

"I do want something but you can't give me that so no." Her actions were still rude and this was giving him a headache. God knows what happened suddenly to his woman early in the morning.

Alena broke from his embrace, how difficult it was for her to leave his rocky chest and kept his clothes on the bed. "Change it and go to your office. I have work to do."

"If you want to bring me somewhere? Like shopping or something? Alright, I worked weekends as well but that was an emergency meeting with Alena!" He somehow tried to convince her loose mood but she still acted as if he was thin air.

And in the end, she closed the door with a bang leaving Jack alone in his room to get ready and come downstairs to have breakfast with her. But seeing her back, made Jack sigh.

'I'm a husband now now I get why it is difficult to handle your wife's mood swings.'

Coming down after changing his clothes, he saw his wife and the ant working together in the kitchen. Raising his voice he made sure that his words reached Alena's ears.

"Alright, I'm taking off today. Tell me where do we have to go now?"
