GUILT

"Liam." Sofia called out worriedly the moment she opened the door to his father's hospital room. Her eyes found Ivan standing at the window, making her frown for a moment but she still walked towards Liam and held his hand, pulling him close to her to keep him away from Ivan. "How's your dad?"

"He's doing fine." Liam lied but and his eyes never left Ivan's face. "He would be fine without a bastard's help."

"What do you mean?" This question wasn't just meant for Liam but for Ivan as well. She thought he'd do things with little discretion. She didn't expect the man to give the antidote directly to Liam. "Is he someone you know?" She asked while giving Ivan a glance. She wanted the man to take the hint that in front of Liam, both of them were strangers.
