Escaping had always been a gamble where time was of the essence. Delays would only increase the risk of other hindrances popping up, which was why Liam had prioritized sending Grace away.
However, Grace had her own mind, and Liam had already made peace with the fact that he couldn't stop people from sharing his desire to protect. She had come back to pick him up, knowing he would have needed help, even declaring her stance with a few words.
Honestly, Liam couldn't have asked for a better partner in life. Grace truly complemented him, and he did the same with her. Individually, they were excellent cultivators, but they were almost unstoppable together.
It wasn't even just about respective strengths. Liam and Grace knew their weaknesses and filled those gaps, the fact that he was now lying on her back proving that. She had been aware that she had no place in the fight against Jessica, but she had still found a way to help.
