Frantically monitoring the situation on Qbot’s live feed, Loraine’s heart raced.
Qbot tried to soothe her. “Mommy, don’t worry. Everything is going smoothly. It’ll be alright.”
ALL of a sudden, Qbot fell into silence. Loraine’s heart skipped a beat and she asked in a hurry, “Is

Without waiting for Qbot’s answer, she feltpelled to get off the ne and didn’t even bother to
check her equipment.
Just before Loraine could jump off the ne, Qbot shouted, “Daddy is back!”
Loraine breathed a sigh of relief when saw Marco get on the ne, wearing a calm, hard face. But
then, her face darkened.
“Is it just you?”

Upon seeing the bullet wound on Rowan’s abdomen, Loraine felt overwhelmed and her eyes welled up
with tears.
Rowan coughed and gently touched her hair with a hint of remorse.
“I’m sorry for making you worry, Lorrie. This is all my fault.”
He had always been the one protecting others. Not once in Loraine’s life did she ever see him this

attention on Rowan.

Marco’s presence.
Had he made a mistake by helping her rescue Rowan?
