The moment Liam finished cleaning the kitchen, he saw the three women standing there looking worried.
He walked over, sensing something was wrong.
“What’s happened?” he asked, his voice calm but concerned.
“My mom’s been hurt. I need to go to her,” Cecilia replied, already heading inside to get her things.
Liam’s face immediately became serious.
His eyes narrowed as he asked for details, and Harper quickly told him about the phone call they’d just received.
“I see,” Liam nodded thoughtfully before going to his bedroom, clearly thinking through something.
As Cecilia hurried downstairs with Harper and Yvonne, waiting for Yvonne’s bodyguards to arrive, she saw someone who absolutely should not have been there—Tang, standing beside a car in the garage.
“Cecilia,” Tang greeted her with obvious guilt in his voice.
“You—!” Cecilia felt her anger spike as she realized the truth.
Alpha Sebastian had lied. He hadn’t taken Tang with him at all.
But she couldn’t focus on her anger right now.
Harper grabbed Cecilia’s arm. “Get in the car. We’ll talk about this later.”
They got into the back seat while Yvonne took the front.
She quickly called her security team, telling them to meet at the intersection a few blocks away instead.
In the car, Cecilia sat with her head in her hands, refusing to speak.
Her mind was a storm of worry—for her mother, for Alpha Sebastian, for everything spinning out of control.
Tang drove in uncomfortable silence, not daring to say anything.
Halfway there, Yvonne noticed a car following them consistently. She gently poked Tang’s arm. “Tang, that car has been following us this whole time. Did you notice?”
“Oh, that’s Sawyer,” Tang explained. “Liam said someone should handle things at Cecilia’s family home. Sawyer has experience with these situations, so he’s following us.”
“Liam thinks of everything,” Yvonne said, impressed. “No wonder Alpha Sebastian keeps him around.”
“That’s right,” Tang agreed. “Liam can handle anything. He’s amazing.” He looked in the rearview mirror, then added carefully, “Cecilia, please don’t be angry with Alpha Sebastian. He just wants to protect you.”
Cecilia wiped her face, laughing bitterly. “He cares for me, and I get angry about it. Even I can hear how ungrateful that sounds.”
Tang fell silent again.
“It’s not your fault,” Cecilia said, patting his shoulder. “Just drive safely. I’m sorry you have to deal with this, Tang.”
“Don’t apologize, Cecilia. This is literally my job. It’s about all I’m good for,” Tang replied modestly.
“Thank you anyway.”
During the drive, Cecilia called the hospital over and over for updates.
By the time they finally arrived, it was already one in the morning on Saturday.
Esther had fallen asleep.
Cecilia tiptoed into the room, her heart aching at the sight of her mother’s bandaged foot.
