Chapter 26: Chapter 26: He Didn’t Deny Being Noah Grant’s Dad

Chloe Reed: "..."

She furrowed her lovely brows. ’Could it be such a coincidence?’

’The family doctor is away on a business trip while Walker Grant is injured?’

She looked at the pale man leaning against the doorframe and said, "This family doctor can be replaced."

’What is a family doctor?’
