Walker Grant’s brow tightened. "Mom, you can’t go."
Judith Pierce’s expression soured. "Walker, you can’t be so protective of her."
Walker Grant’s expression was cold, but his tone was firm. "She’s a daughter of the Reed family. What she says in her own family should be the final word. It’s our sister-in-law who is being completely unreasonable."
Judith Pierce’s brow furrowed deeply. "But if Chloe doesn’t take a stand on this, I’m afraid it won’t be resolved that easily."
"What kind of stand do you want her to take?" Walker Grant fixed his gaze on her, his dark eyes tinged with a chill. "Should she apologize to Sunny? Or should she just compromise and give our sister-in-law whatever she wants?"
Judith Pierce was silent.
Walker Grant’s tone grew even colder. "She saved my life. I can handle this. Chloe has no obligation to do any of these things, much less indulge her."
Silence fell outside the emergency room.
Judith Pierce thought it over and realized he was right. ’This whole thing blew up, but what does it really have to do with Chloe?’
’It was Sunny who kicked up a fuss about going abroad, insisting on taking Noah with her.’
’If she hadn’t caused all this drama, how could the accident have happened?’
Earlier, Judith Pierce had seen Walker nearly get hit by the car. In the heat of the moment, she’d gotten swept up and instinctively followed Sunny’s line of thinking, placing all the blame on Chloe’s shoulders.
But now that she had calmed down, she was starting to feel that something was off.
"Have they caught the driver of that car?" Judith Pierce asked, frowning.
"He’s been taken to the police station," Walker Grant said grimly.
Judith Pierce added, "Make sure they investigate it thoroughly. That road rarely has much traffic, and it’s a low-speed zone. That car showing up right then was too much of a coincidence."
Her gaze fell to the child in Walker’s arms. Noah was asleep, teardrops still clinging to his lashes, looking utterly pitiful.
’With Julian gone, Noah only had his mother. They all doted on the boy, pitied him, and didn’t want him to be separated from her.’
