Sienna paid no attention and stormed into the living room.

"Sienna." Larry's smile faltered, tinged with unease. "It's so late. Is something wrong?"

"Where's Conner?" Sienna didn't even look at Larry. She walked straight up to Tania and demanded, "Where are you hiding him?"

"I have no idea what you're barking about," Tania flatly denied. "I should be asking you. Conner went to the hospital with you, and now he's gone. Where did you take him? Where's my son?"

"What's going on? What are you two talking about?" Larry was utterly confused.

"Cut the act," Sienna said, paying Larry no heed. Her eyes were reddened, and her voice choked with anger. "The surveillance camera at the hospital entrance recorded Conner getting into your car."

"What?" Tania's eyes widened in shock-she hadn't expected them to find out so quickly. She crossed her arms and lifted her chin.

"Conner's my son. What's wrong with him getting into my car?"

"So it's true?" Larry interjected. "Why did you hide Conner?"

"You be quiet!" Tania glared at Larry. "So now you only care about Sienna and not Conner? Why should my son have to donate his bone marrow to your daughter's child?"

The words hit like a hammer-an open admission. "Tania, where is Conner?" Sienna asked, her voice choked with emotion. Her long lashes trembled violently, and tears welled up in her reddened eyes. "Joyce's surgery is imminent."

"Not my problem," Tania said, her gaze as cold as a blade.

"Whether Joyce lives or dies, don't even think about blaming me for it."

As Tania spoke, she raised a hand to cover her mouth and let out a lazy yawn. "It's the middle of the night. I need my sleep. Get out."

"Tania," Larry said as he glanced at Sienna. He couldn't bear to watch. "Conner agreed to donate the bone marrow of his own free will. Where have you hidden him?"

"Shut up!" Tania's anger intensified when Larry spoke up. His words only added fuel to the fire.
