At present, besides Alston and Cecilia, there was only Liam in the rescue station. Alston's gaze locked onto Liam.
He was thin, with sharp eyes, sitting upright with his neck stiff, lips pressed tightly into a straight line, his gaze fixed in the distance, showing no intention of acknowledging Alston's presence.
His refusal to help was likely due to Alston's earlier disrespect.
Alston glanced again at Cecilia lying on the bed, barely breathing. Suppressing his frustration, he bent down and quietly apologized to Liam, "Sir, my attitude just now was wrong. What do you need from me to help save her?"
Liam finally glanced at Alston and asked, "Who is she to you?"
Alston froze at the question. He hesitated before replying, "We have no relationship!"
If he could, he hoped he'd never have anything to do with Cecilia again!
