Chapter 198 - Critical Condition and Security Lockdown
Liam's POV
It had been two days since Inspector Carlos's call about the siege on Clairemont and his unexpected visit to Clairemont. I shared the news with Hazel that law enforcement was tightening their grip. She was restless from the mandatory bed rest that had stretched into her final trimester. Over two weeks confined to our bedroom had left her visibly drained, her growing belly making even simple movements exhausting. Her energy levels dropped daily, prompting me to work remotely whenever possible. I refused to leave her vulnerable and alone. Our circle of friends maintained a constant presence, rotating visits throughout each day.
