Henry didn’t know how to answer.

Nadine was being held at the police station, but there was no way he could tell Kylie that.
Pretending to be busy, Henry flipped through the folder in his hands. “Kylie, Nadine’s already an adult. You have to give her some personal space. I’m swamped right now<i>, </i>let’s talkter.”
“Hen…
Beep, beep.
The call cut off. Kylie didn’t move. Her arm slipped down as she set her phone aside.
If she guessed right, Shannon was probably with Henry at this very moment.
Kylie gave a coldugh. She wiped away her tears, and what remained in her eyes was nothing
but hate.
She stood up and followed the address from the anonymous email, heading straight for the Aetheris police station.
She had no idea who sent that email or why. But she was grateful.
Those videos and recordings had stopped her from being kept in the dark like some clueless fool.
Forcing down her grief and anger, Kylie called for a driver.
By evening, the car pulled up at the station.
Kylie showed her ID. While speaking with the warden, she caught the strange looks on a few patrol officers‘ faces.
Her fingers curled tight. She bit her lip and ignored them.
“This way, madam.”
The warden didn’t treat her like Henry and Shannon, who had to speak to Nadine through thick soundproof ss. Instead, he personally led Kylie straight inside to Nadine’s cell.
The ce had been quiet until the sound of heels stopped at the door. Nadine’s eyes lit up. She rushed forward, pressing against the bars. “Mom! You came! Did you find a way to get me out?”

Her voice shook with excitement. But when she saw who it really was, her smile faltered.
It wasn’t Shannon. It was Kylic.
Her grin stiffened. “Mom
Mom? Why are you here? How did you even know I was in <b>here</b>?”
Kylie’s face showed almost no emotion. Her lips curved into a small, forced smile.
“Nadine, weren’t you just calling for me?”
Nadine froze. She hadn’t expected Kylie to ask that.
She looked up, panicked, meeting Kylie’s frowning gaze.
“I was calling you,” Nadine rushed out. “Who else would I call? You’re my only mom.”
Kylie didn’t reply. Her eyes swept over Nadine.
Nadine’s whole body tensed. Something about Kylie felt different. Her eyes especially. They used to be so clear … almost naive. But now they were sharp, as if she had finally woken up.
“Mom, did Dad tell you I was here? I told him not to say anything.” Nadine tried to change the subject, her smile looking painfully fake.
“Nadine, what are you doing in the Aetheris Prison?”
Kylie already knew, but she asked anyway. Nadine’s face shifted. She opened her mouth, then shut it again.
“I … I …
Her little act fell t. Kylie was still staring at her with that half–smile, and Nadine’s heart began to pound.
<i>Why </i><i>does </i><i>she </i><i>look </i><i>so </i><i>different </i><i>today</i>? <i>Did </i><i>she </i><i>find </i><i>out </i><i>something</i><i>? </i>
The thought made Nadine’s chest tighten.
But then Kylie’s lips curved into a gentle smile, her eyes narrowing kindly, almost motherly.
“Mom, now’s not the time for this. Can you just get me out of here?” Nadine jumped at the chance.
Kylie was a Larson, and the Larsons were one of the most famous families in Kingnd. Henry and Shannon had to meet Nadine through the ss, but Kylie was allowed straight into the cell

People said even when someone from a great family fell from power, their name still carried weight. Kylie had already stepped away from the Larsons, but strangers still gave her respect.
“No.”
Kylie shook her head.
Nadine’s heart cracked.
Her legs went weak, and she copsed back onto the cold iron bed. Curling into herself, she whispered, “Just go.”
Kylie stared through the small window in the door, her eyes like ice.
So the child she had raised all these years was actually Shannon’s daughter.
Her fingertips trembled, but she forced them down.
The sound of her heels faded into the distance. Nadine lifted her head, but instead of relief, dread filled her chest.
She stared at the empty window, pressing her hand to her chest where her heart was pounding so fast it scared her.
She bit down hard on her lip. Henry had promised he’d find a way to help. But it had already been two days.
She didn’t know how much longer she couldst.
