Chapter 39: Walker Grant Targets Iris Yates

The air in the hospital room reeked of disinfectant. Miles Hawthorne walked in, saw the man lying on the hospital bed, and stepped forward to pat him.

"Walker, what’s going on?"

Walker Grant turned his head, a little surprised. "You’re back?"

"Yeah." Miles Hawthorne pulled a chair over and sat down beside him. "First thing I see when I get back is Chloe Reed, wandering down the street looking completely devastated. I almost hit her with my car."

Walker Grant shot up, his eyes fixed on him. "Did you hit her?"

"Of course not." Miles Hawthorne watched his tense reaction, a faint smile touching his lips. "See? This is what I’m talking about. There’s no way you’re in love with your sister-in-law. She must have misunderstood something."

At his words, the expression on Walker Grant’s pale, handsome face stiffened. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he asked, "What did she say to you?"

Miles Hawthorne shrugged and recounted their conversation in the car.
