“Dad, can’t you talk to Sebastian and get him to release Mom? Serena is your daughter–surely she’d listen to you?”

Only now did Kyana recall that Serena was her half–sister. On ordinary days, especially when tensions flared, Kyana never admitted their connection.

Donald hesitated, torn. “Kyana, you and Serena are always clashing. Why not plead with her yourself? Maybe she’ll go easy on your mom.”

“Me? You want me to beg her?” Kyana shook her head sharply. Begging that woman was completely out of the question.

“Dad, she hates both Mom and me. Begging wouldn’t work!

Her heart skipped.

“It was Sebastian.”

He had once again supported her quietly.

Serena pictured his sharp, commanding features and pressed her lips together.

This man always behaved the same–steadfastly supporting her in silence, shouldering the burden without uttering a word.

“Fortunately, the man you married is Sebastian.”

Only someone like him could protect her so thoroughly.

A tangle of emotions swept through her. “I got it, Boss.”

After hanging up, Serena contemplated how she might mend things with Sebastian.

He couldn’t stop thinking about whether she was okay at the hospital, eating properly, and getting enough sleep.

He spun his pen between his fingers, restless, as the CFO walked him through the quarterly numbers.

Finally, he flung the pen onto the desk in irritation and rose.

The CFO tensed.
