Rowan huffed and got up to dismiss himself. Before he left the room, though, Liam stopped him.

With a long face, he plopped himself down on the couch next to Liam’s bed.

Liam watched him with a discreet smile.

“What is it?” Rowan checked his watch. It was about lunchtime, and he needed to rush to Imperial Media to take a look at his precious daughter!

Liam kept his smile and turned serious as he lowered his voice to ask, “Mr. Irwin, have you managed to find out anything?”
