Grace hurried back to Liam's room and grabbed him by the collar.

"Has Andrea given you anything to eat while she's been here?" she demanded.

Liam's neck was constricted, but he still responded meekly, "Just ordinary meals. The guards are aware of them. Grace, didn't you ask her to come and keep me company?"

Grace remained apprehensive and requested the doctor to conduct another examination. Only after confirming Liam's physical well-being did she feel a measure of relief.

"Did something happen between you two?" she asked.

Andrea wouldn't be here for no reason. What was she after?

Besides trying to keep Liam in his messed-up state, what else could she be after?

A flash of awkwardness crossed Liam's face, and he quickly lowered his head. "No."

Grace wasn't even considering anything romantic. She was totally convinced Andrea was there to pull Liam back into that whole mess.

It seemed like her plan had backfired.

She gathered all the guards in the room and informed them, "Nobody sees him from now on except me, got it?"
