Regret Came Too Late

Upon returning upstairs, Grace noted the room had been cleaned meticulously. She gave Jasper some final instructions.

"Alright, I'll be leaving now. If you encounter any further problems, feel free to call Sebastian, or you can also reach me."

Jasper opened his mouth, hesitated, and ultimately remained silent about the phone call.

Back in the car, Grace pressed her fingers to her temples. The relentless work schedule had left her with a throbbing headache.

But she still needed to visit Liam.

When she pulled up to where Liam was being kept, the guards outside the yard perked up when they saw her.

"Ms. Lambert, thank God you're here."

She looked toward the room. "What's going on with him?"

The guy guarding him looked a bit sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck.

"He was all worked up about seeing you like an hour ago, then he just clammed up. He's been in there crying. Wouldn't even eat the food we brought him."

Grace took a deep breath.
