Chapter 235 - Please Help Me

William got scared with the thought of Ethan looking at Rachel's face as it might be enough for him to know Rachel is his daughter due to her uncanny resemblance to Liz.

Ethan frowned seeing William talking to someone and before he could reach them William hugged this girl.

"Thank you dear, thank you so much for donating blood for my wife. You are our saviour" William gently hugged Rachel, hiding her face in his chest, he turned into a protective father who had to protect his daughter from these monsters.

Ethan was surprised to see William acting like this but then he assumed this old man went crazy because of Liz's condition.

He too was thankful to this girl but he was not as emotional as William so he ignored them and sat on a chair near to the operation room door, waiting for the doctors to come out.

His assistant joined him.

William slowly turned Rachel and now again her back was facing Ethan who anyway was not paying attention to them.

"I am so sorry to startle you" William apologized.

Rachel just smiled, "It's okay, I didn't feel bad but what happened to you suddenly?"

"My wife is in this operation, so…" William used an excuse.

"Oh"

"Dear, you should go and take some rest" William wanted Rachel to leave from there as he was scared of Ethan seeing her.

"Oh okay, I'll go then, please take care of yourself and your wife will be fine" Rachel assured him and left.

Once William ensured Rachel left from there he sighed in relief and sat on one of the chairs.

Right now, a lot of things are going on in his mind. 

Most importantly, he was thinking of a way to explain the truth to Daniel and Rachel so that he and Liz could finally escape from Ethan's clutches.

'Fuck, I forgot to ask her when they are leaving' William realized the situation is very difficult and he has no idea when they would be leaving as today is the final operation.

This made him realize, he is running out of time and doesn't have the time to explain everything to Daniel and Rachel.

Liz was still a patient, it is difficult to leave with her in this condition.

William kept pondering for an hour imagining various scenarios of how he would explain the truth but it was difficult.

Everyone will think he is crazy and by the time he explains the whole truth to Rachel and Daniel, Ethan will attack them and William might end up endangering Rachel's and Daniel's life too.

So, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with anything convincing enough for Daniel and Rachel to believe he is William Richardson.

After some time, the light outside the operating room indicated the operation was over.

Daniel and other doctors came out of the operation theater.

William and Ethan rushed towards them.

"The operation was successful, her condition is much stable now. She can be discharged tomorrow" Daniel informed them with a faint smile painted on his lips. 

"Thank you so much doctor" Ethan was glad they could leave tomorrow and Liz would be fine.

"Yes doctor, thank you so much" William suddenly stepped towards Daniel and hugged him.

For others, it might look like he was being emotional but the truth was he had to talk to him and this was the only way.

William whispered in Daniel's ear, "Please help me" and quickly moved back.

William had no idea what else to do, he asked for Daniel's help hoping for him to rescue them.

"Thank you doctor" William again emotionally smiled and stepped aside.

Daniel who was totally taken aback with what just happened immediately composed himself and nodded his head, "It is my duty" then he looked at William who was trying to communicate something to him with his eyes.

His eyes were asking him for his help.

Earlier, Daniel wondered if he heard something wrong when William whispered the words 'PLEASE HELP ME' but now looking at William's pleading eyes Daniel was sure something is fishy here.

"I have informed other doctors and from here on they will be taking care of your wife" Daniel informed William.

"You won't be here Dr Daniel?" William anxiously asked him.

Everyone thought William was just being worried about his wife but Daniel could feel he was scared as Daniel would be leaving soon.

"I am leaving early tomorrow morning" Daniel informed him and William got even more worried.

"Don't worry, all the doctors here are well qualified, they will take care of your wife and I will help you if you ever need me" Daniel's words sounded normal to everyone as it was an assurance to the patient's family but the last sentence he said was a reply to William's request for help.

William understood that and he was hoping Daniel would indeed do something.

He was not sure what Daniel can really do, as Daniel has no idea about what is happening, what help he needs or anything else but for now this was William's best shot as he can't do anything else, this is the only thing he can do now which he did.

Ethan was here and if William acts out of line then Ethan can kill Liz and then kill himself like he warned him before.

So, Will had to be careful.

Daniel then took his leave after giving some instructions to the other doctors as he was done with what he came for.

Before leaving he once again went to Liz's room to try to talk to William but Ethan too was in the room and Daniel was smart enough to understand to keep his mouth shut.

He again checked on Liz, and before leaving he gave a few generic instructions to William.

While Daniel was leaving Will kept looking at him, asking for his help through his eyes but Daniel had no choice but to leave for now.
