Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 902

“That’s fantastic!” he exclaimed, nearly jumping for joy. “I understand, Gentry. My parents and I are heading to the city in a couple of days, so I’ll visit Arkle then… Yes, don’t worry, everything’s been taken care of… No, I’m not lying. The Moore brothers were taken away by the police yesterday… Okay, we’ll talk more in person.”

As soon as he hung up, Mamie blurted out, “Was that about Arkle?”

Carlson turned to Owen, his eyes welling up. “Mr. Reynolds, thank you… thank you so much. Arkle’s uncle, Gentry, insisted that I thank you in person on his behalf!”

Mamie blinked. “What happened?”

“That was Arkle’s uncle on the phone. He said Arkle is awake!”

“Really? That’s wonderful!” Mamie beamed. “But why are you thanking the professor?”

“Gentry said it was Mr. Reynolds who arranged for Arkle to be transferred to the city hospital and brought in specialists for a consultation,” Carlson explained. “They managed to wake him up without even needing surgery.”

Roseanne looked at Owen in surprise. “When did you arrange that?”

“Yesterday.”

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I contacted the hospital on the way here.”

“You always think of everything.”

Corley Sullivan was bewildered. When had he contacted them? Weren’t they together the whole time yesterday? Except for… that moment when he went to get men from Neal…

Well, I’ll be damned.

Leave it to him to find an opening even then.
