This entire paragraph ruthlessly tore at the man's heart, Liam Yancey's fingers clutching the phone turned white at the knuckles, and bloodshot streaks hid within the depths of his eyes.
Without a moment's hesitation, he dialed the number directly.
Tara Summer hadn't turned off her phone; seeing the call from George Summer, she hesitated for a moment but eventually answered, "Hello…"
The woman's voice was hoarse, sounding very exhausted, and Liam Yancey could even hear her thick nasal tone, knowing for sure she had been crying, and for a long time at that.
His heart clenched tighter inch by inch, and he spoke with a deep voice, "It's me…"
Liam Yancey!? Tara Summer was startled, her instinctive reaction was to hang up the phone.
"Tara Summer, dare to hang up and see?!" Even though she hadn't made a sound, Liam Yancey seemed to know what she was about to do, and he roared, stopping her in her tracks.
