Walker Grant frowned at her, and everyone’s eyes fixed on her face.
Chloe Reed lowered her gaze slightly and said calmly, "Ann didn’t mean any harm. She won’t do it again. Having her around helps Grandma relax, both physically and mentally."
At her words, Walker Grant’s frown deepened.
Annie York bowed quickly in gratitude. "Thank you, Chloe. I won’t let you down. I’ll be sure to take good care of Grandma."
Chloe Reed nodded. "All right, go on now. If anything like this happens again, just come and tell me."
"Okay, I will."
Annie York nodded eagerly.
Then, she glanced timidly at Walker Grant before turning and hurrying away.
Chloe Reed looked at him and saw the coldness in his expression. "I’m going to check on Grandma," she said.
She headed straight for her grandmother’s room.
Walker Grant watched her retreating back, his brow furrowed. He took out his phone, sent a message to Dylan Finch, and then turned to leave.
...
The old woman wasn’t asleep. Chloe Reed walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and took her grandmother’s warm, dry hand in hers.
"Grandma, you haven’t said anything to me about her since you woke up. I kept thinking that maybe you wanted to see her, or maybe you wanted to ask her something. But you saw her today, and you didn’t seem to say anything. Can you tell me what’s on your mind?"
Her grandmother’s eyes were closed as she listened, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
