Heath's Hidden Motive

"But, even if she trusted you to bear all of that, will you let her?"

Hearing this, Liam fell silent.

"You know what I mean, right?"

Of course, Liam immediately understood why Heath had directed their conversation this way. Liam had received treatment that would help him recover, but Harriet would remain human once he recovered.

“I brought the stone here today…to persuade Elder Sister to swallow it,” Heath said. Liam saw Heath rise from his seat and stretch his back. "Isn't this a reasonable solution?"

“You will recover, and Elder Sister will become immortal. You two, no—we could all be living together for a very long time.”

Liam furrowed his brows in displeasure. Why was a Goldlane's way of thinking so…

"For me, besides you, no one else in this world deserves to swallow that stone and gain immortality other than Elder Sister," Heath said then. The young man walked away, intending to return to the city and go find his men. But before he left, he turned to Liam.
