"I'm going to the hospital right now."

The moment Liberty heard that Kathryn had been rescued and taken to the emergency room, sleep was no longer an option. She threw off the covers and got out of bed immediately.

Duncan quickly followed.

"Darling, it's still dark outside, and the spring nights in Jensburg are freezing. You should rest a little longer," Liberty said, worried about her husband's limited mobility and how the cold might affect him.

She could handle this alone.

But Duncan was already changing. "No, I'm coming with you. I might not be able to walk far, but I can manage. I'll call the bodyguards so you won't have to worry about me."

Kathryn had willingly put herself in harm's way, but that didn't mean Duncan was comfortable letting Liberty go to the hospital alone.

He knew Marco and the others had considered targeting Liberty too. The only thing that held them back was the sheer number of powerful people protecting her. They knew that if anything happened to her, they wouldn't survive the consequences. Worse, their own children would be affected.

In the end, they had chosen to go after Kathryn instead.

Despite being their biological sister, they despised her. And if she died, as her closest relatives, they would inherit everything she owned.
