Chloe Reed lowered her gaze to the sleeping child, her long eyelashes trembling. Her thoughts drifted to her grandmother.
For a moment, she didn’t speak.
Walker Grant wasn’t in a hurry to press her. He knew she would get annoyed if he asked too often.
But he could sense she was already wavering.
While it was true Noah was Sunny Reed’s child, he was also Julian Grant’s.
Julian had treated Chloe very well.
She was bound to feel something for old times’ sake.
...
The lab report on the antidote came back within the hour. It was, indeed, the real thing.
Rhonda Lowe chuckled smugly. "See? I told you it was the antidote. Why didn’t you believe me?"
Walker had the antidote administered to Noah, then sent the boy straight to the hospital for follow-up care to clear the remaining toxins and monitor his condition.
Chloe looked at Rhonda Lowe and asked, "Even with the antidote, there might be lasting side effects. Do you have a solution for that?"
Rhonda Lowe’s eyes darted away. She shook her head, her guilt obvious. "No. It’s poison, after all. The damage it’s done to his body... that’s unavoidable."
Her voice grew fainter and fainter as she spoke.
The hands at Chloe’s sides clenched into fists. With a cold expression, she strode out of the villa.
Walker said to a bodyguard, "Take her to the suburbs. Watch her."
"Yes, sir."
Rhonda Lowe was dumbstruck. "Hey! What’s going on? Are you locking me up? How can you go back on your word? You can’t lock me up! Come back!"
But she was shoved into a car and driven directly to the basement of a villa in the suburbs.
Sunny Reed had been listening for any commotion outside, but she waited in her room for a long time, and the door never opened.
She panicked and started pounding on the door. "Someone! I want to see my son! It’s my turn to be with him! Let me out! Open the door!"
But no matter how she screamed, no one came to open the door.
Sunny Reed’s face was pale, and a terrible premonition bloomed in her heart.
’Does that mean I’m useless now?’
