Liam stood somewhat awkwardly in the hospital room, a basket of fruit and a bouquet in his hands.
After all these years of knowing him, Tracy had never seen the normally hotheaded and blunt Liam act this way.
She had no interest in figuring out his angle, though. She simply turned her head away with a frosty re.
Ronald stood up and headed to the door. “What are you doing here?”
In the past, Liam would’ve blown up and started yelling the second he spotted Ronald. Today, though, he remained polite and subdued. “I came to check on my sis …

“She’s not your sister. Your sister’s at the Jackman Vi,” Ronald snapped, cutting him off cold. “Tracy’s been hurt for days now, and you’re just showing up? Doesn’t that strike you as absurd?”
Liam fumed over the interruption, but he had noeback.
Tracy had been injured alongside Franklin, and now that Franklin was already gone indeed ridiculous for Liam to onlye visit now.

But if he didn’te and get these questions answered, those doubts would wrap around his mind like a curse, making him absent–minded in everything he did and unable to sleep well.
Ronald ignored whatever was swirling in his head and reached to shut the door. “You’re not wee here. Don’t bothering back.”
“Hold on!” Liam jammed his foot in the closing door and blurted out, “I’ve got something to say about Grandpa.”
Sure enough, Ronald paused and turned to look at the person on the hospital bed.
Seeing Tracy’s expression soften, Liam breathed a sigh of relief and quickly slipped inside.
He ced the flowers and fruit on the table and was about to call out, “Tracy,” but swallowed the greeting when he saw Tracy’s cold expression.
“How are you feeling? Are you better?”
Tracy wasn’t interested in small talk. “What do you want to say?”

In the past, faced with her attitude, Liam would’ve already been furious.

Buttely, he didn’t know why–every time he faced Tracy, he felt guilty, and his attitude became especially gentle, just like it had been before Erin returned to the Jackmans.
Knowing Tracy was impatient, he didn’t beat around the bush. “Grandpa’s funeral is scheduled for tomorrow, and Dad asked me to remind you to remember to attend.
“Andrew thinks there will definitely be a lot of reporters waiting outside the vi estate, so it would be best if you could leave from the Jackman Vi with everyone else.
“Although the photo issue has been resolved, there are still some rumors going around, and Andrew wants to rify things at tomorrow’s funeral. It would be easier to handle if you’re there.”
Even knowing Franklin was gone, the word “funeral” hit Tracy like a punch to the gut.
She would definitely attend–she didn’t want Franklin to leave with his reputation tarnished— so she didn’t refuse the Jackmans‘ arrangement. “I’ll return to the Jackman Vi tonight.”
When she spoke, she didn’t look at Liam, her attitude clearly unweing.
If Liam had any sense, he would’ve taken the initiative to leave at this point, but he had volunteered <i>to </ie deliver this message to Tracy because he obviously had other motives. He just hesitated, unsure how to bring it up.
Ronald frowned and walked over. “Mr. Liam, do you have anything else?”
“I …”
Liam looked at Tracy and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. “I wanted to ask about the photos. Why do you suspect Erin?”
Tracy’s gaze finally fell on him for the first time since he had entered the room, seeming both mocking and appraising. “Then why do you suspect her?”
“I don’t!” Liam denied it quickly and even repeated it for emphasis. “How could I possibly suspect Erin?”
Tracy’s expression remained calm, but her eyes looked as if they wanted to see right through him. “If you didn’t suspect her, you wouldn’t be asking me this.”
“I … ”
Liam was suddenly speechless.

This was exactly why he had been so anxioustely that he couldn’t even sleep well.
Tracy was truly surprised that he would ever have a day when he doubted Erin.

She had thought the Jackmans had all be Erin’s most devout believers, and even if someone’s faith in Erin were to falter someday, she never would have thought that be the most impulsive and brainless of them all—Liam.
Still, having someone doubt Erin was a good thing for her.

Tracy let out a coldugh. “If you want to know the truth, you might as well investigate it yourself, so it won’t be another case of me ‘ndering Erin‘ when ites out of my mouth.”
It was always like this. No matter how solid the evidence she presented, it could neverpare to a single tear from Erin in the eyes of the Jackmans.
Since they didn’t trust her anyway, it was better to let him investigate on his own.
Tracy didn’t mind giving him a hint. “If you want to investigate the source of those photos, you might as well start with that guy Tom.”
“Tom? Who?” Liam felt the name sounded familiar but couldn’t remember for a moment.
It wasn’t until Tracy reminded him that he remembered Tom was the ount holder Walter had investigated, the one provided by the kidnappers who had abducted Erin.
Connecting these two incidents, Liam felt inexplicably panicked, sensing that the results of his investigation might not be what he wanted to hear.
But the more he suspected, the more determined he became to get to the bottom of it.
With Liam now investigating the photo incident, Tracy was no longer in a rush to find the evidence herself.
