Liam couldn't bring himself to meet Andrea's gaze, nor did he have the courage to look at Grace. He kept his
head low, shoulders hunched in defeat.
He was in a state of great anxiety at the moment.
Grace had seen enough of his pathetic state over the years, and it further ignited a tide of anger within her.
"Liam Lambert!" she shouted.
She grasped him by the collar and forced him to lift his head. "Tellwhat you want. If you choose Andrea, then
I'll wish you both happiness."
His shoulders trembled as he fervently shook his head, his teeth digging into his lower lip with such force she
thought he might draw blood.
Andrea wept at his side. "Liam, are you really going to leave me? If that's the case, I'd rather die!"
Without further hesitation, she got up and threw herself against the wall.
She truly meant it-the impact left a smear of blood on the wall, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Liam panicked and rushed to her side. "Andrea!"
Blood streamed down her forehead. She lifted her gaze to him, tears welling up and spilling over. "Liam, |
promise | won't be a burden to you. | want to keep this baby. If not, I'll carve two graves from one body-mine and
our child's."
Liam cradled her in his arms and turned pleadingly to Grace.
"Grace..." Even his voice was laced with entreaty, and the hand he had around Andrea was trembling ever so
slightly.

Grace suddenly began to ponder where she had gone wrong and what chain of events had brought Liam to
where he was now. Clearly, everything had been perfectly fine when Quentin was still alive.
She began to walk away, and as she reached the doorway, the gatekeeper commented, "Ms. Lambert, please
forgive my intrusion, but Mr. Liam tried to call you many times before. It was you who wouldn't answer, and
that's when Andrea cinto the picture. You created the opening for this situation to develop. We've always
felt that you've been too harsh on Mr. Liam."
This was her fault-all of it. She had failed to protect Liam, leaving him vulnerable to addiction's grip. Then, by
shutting him out, she had given Andrea the opening
to slither in. Every misstep traced back to her own hands.
As she pressed fingers against her temples, even the gatekeeper watching couldn't stomach her self-flagellation.
"Ms. Lambert, you and Mr. Liam are siblings, after all. Please be more understanding. Given his nature, he's
dependent on you and has complete faith i you. He'd even hand you the knife if you wanted to commit murder
one day."
Somehow, that didn't mark the conclusion of his speech. "As the elder sister, you're like a mother
figure to him. He's still immaturenet
and you're being too unforgiving. He's easily lost and uncertain That's all have to say."
Grace tugged at the corner of her mouth. She said nothing as she got into the car,
only leaving a quiet "Thanks for reminding me" behind.
Her constant assumption was that by leaving Liam in this place to develop and
think things through, he would eventually becstronger.
However, she failed to consider that Liam's childhood had been spent in an environment that was far too
comfortable, leaving him utterlynet
defenseless against others. Coupled with Quentin's upbringing, it bad made him exceptionally vulnerable to
manipulation.
The gatekeeper was right. She had left a loophole, and Andrea had taken advantage of it.

It was a call from Ed.
She answered, her voice hoarse with exhaustion. "Ed, I'm not coming over tonight."
"What happened?"
"Something cup. My head hurts. You'll have to sleep on your own tonight, and don't overthink anything,
okay?"
There was a long silence on the other end before a soft hum of assent slipped through.
