I had just returned Philippa to her room when a shrill male voice pierced through the air-it was unmistakably Harper.

What had Carter done to him?

Philippa tensed up immediately when she heard the voice. "Zoey, your uncle...

I cut her off, stepping in front of her. "Mom, you've spent your whole life being exploited by the Wilchen Do you want to keep living like this? You treat them like family, but all they do is take from you. Are people like that even worth calling family anymore?" Philippa hesitated, falling silent.

Mom, you deserve to live for yourself at least once in your life. If you don't, by the time you're on your deathbed you'll only regret it."

Philippa suddenly gripped my wrist tightly, her expression unreadable. "Why are you being so good to me?"

I froze, taken aback by the unexpected question. Philippa's tone carried a deeper meaning

"You're my mom. Who else would I treat well if not you?"
