Chapter 10 The Leg Injury Seems Fishy
Everly looked up, totally floured.
Malcolm, what a up?
“Let her stay and keep treating me. You guys
need to stress about
Alyssa got all worked up too. “Malcolm,
trying to hurt you. How can we not care?”
She’s my wife, she won’t hurt me.” Malcolm s eyes flickered with a dark, cold light.
Everly glanced at Malcolm, feeling a was still as intimidating as ever.

from the murderous vibe in his eyes. She shivered, suddenly tongue–tied. Even though Malcolm was paralyzed, he
Reese smirked a bit, looking at Malcolm on the bed. He actually stood up for her; maybe he wasn’t as scary as he seemed
Aiden respected Malcolm’s call, but Malcolm’s leg was a big deal.
He hesitated and asked, “Malcolm, are you sure she’s not out to get you?”
“She won’t harm me, Grandpa.”
Aiden couldn’t push it further, “Alright, if you say so, we’ll keep her around for now.”
Alyssa stomped her foot in frustration, “Grandpa…”
Malcolm’s made his decision. Plus, if we call the cops without proof, what happens to the Flynn family’s reputation?”
The media would have a field day, saying the Flynn family just got a new bride and already hit up the police station. We’d be a laughingstock.
As long as Reese didn’t actually hurt Malcolm, everything else was small potatoes and didn’t need to be blown up
Everly tugged at Alyssa and shook her head slightly, signaling her to drop it. If they ticked off Grandpa, he’d side with Reese even more, making things tougher for them.
Alyssa, though pissed, had to back down.
When Vincent Flynn gets back, they’ll deal with this damn Reese then!
Aiden spoke again, “You all head out. Reese, you too.”

Malcolm gave a bitter smile, “Not like I can move anyway.”
Reese thought he looked uncomfortable. Remembering how he lacked her up, she tried to comfort him.
Um… Il do my best to fix you up.”
Malcolm saw the sympathy in her eyes and couldn’t help but smirk. He was just sighing, did Reese really pity him that much?
he door cloard, Malcolma eyes grew more thoughtful. Her calmness earlier was almost too much, definitely not your average country girl. Could sh really have some serious medical skills?
Berse followed Aiden into the study. Aiden pointed to a chair in front of him.

Take a seat.”
Reese, focused on treating Malcolm, didn’t want to waste time and preferred getting straight to the point.
“No need, Grandpa. Just say what you need to say.”
Aiden appreciated the directness and got right to it.
“Can you really cure Malcolm?
I can’t promise it’ll be quick. but I’ll give it my all. Malcolm leg is kinda weird,” Reese raised an eyebrow,
Aiden frowned, “What do you mean?”
For a while now, someone’s been giving him some kind of drug. I’m still figuring out what it is, but I can tell you, if he keeps taking it, he’s gonna end up needing an amputation.”
“What!” Aiden’s
face darkened, shock writter
