Chapter 710: Chapter 710: A Sudden Return

Walker said, "Then I’ll be in your hands."

Fiona Linton waved her hand. "I’ll treat him if I can. If I can’t, then my hands are tied. But don’t lose hope. Medicine is advancing rapidly. In a decade or so, there might be a treatment for him."

"Mm."

A hush fell over the living room.

Fiona Linton couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere. She waved her hand and said, "I’m a bit tired. I’m going to go rest. Call me when dinner’s ready, alright?"

"Chloe."

Walker listened intently for Chloe’s voice, tilting his head slightly to determine her direction. He’d lost track of where she was just a moment ago, and a sudden, inexplicable panic seized him.

Just then, the sound of soft footsteps reached him. A moment later, he felt a subtle shift in the air beside him, carrying her unique and faint fragrance.

He grabbed her arm, his hand sliding down until he found hers. He then laced his fingers through hers, completely enveloping her small hand in his.

"I thought you’d left," he said softly.

Chloe gave their joined hands a gentle shake, then traced words onto his palm: "I’ve been here the whole time."

Feeling the cool touch of her fingertips and her breath so near, Walker’s tense heart finally relaxed.

He leaned against her shoulder and said, "Chloe, I’m a bit tired."

Chloe wanted to pull her hand away to type a message on her phone.

But he only tightened his grip on her hand. "Don’t move. Just let me lean on you for a little while. I’ll be fine after I rest a bit."

His warm breath on her neck sent a fine tremor through her.

Chloe’s back went rigid, her body tensing up.
