This question left Caleb confused. Grace sighed softly and changed her tone. "Then, why did you go there today?"

He had been worried that something would happen to her. He had been desperate to know whether she was safe and sound.

He had panicked the moment he had received the kidnappers' message. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
