got the guts to mess with Malcolm from the Flynn family?
wasn’t planning on spilling the beans to Aiden this soon, but seeing how much he genuinely cared for Malcolm and how sharp he was, she decided to
Another big reason? Aiden was willing to trust her. She was also setting the stage for her own peace in the Flynn family.
This way, even if Everly and Alyssa tried to frame her again, they wouldn’t be able to cause much of a ruckus.
don’t know exactly who it is. Not my problem, I’m just here to fix Malcolm.”
Aiden squinted at Reese, unsure if he should buy what she was selling, given her odd vibe.
Then he realized Reese was their last shot, after all, they’d seen so many doctors who couldn’t figure out Malcolm’s issue.
“Alright, how much time do you need?”
Reese frowned, thinking it over. At least half a month. If it takes longer, no promises.”
She was still figuring out what kind of drug they used. She needed to study it to come up with the right treatment.
Aiden’s face turned serious at her uncertain answer.
“I’ll give you half a month to cure Malcolm, or I’ll have to treat you as the culprit.”
“Grandpa, are you threatening me?“ Reese’s eyes flickered, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips.

It was clear Aiden had a soft spot for Malcolm. Word was, the Flynn family had more than one grandson. Given Malcolm’s messed–up leg and Aiden still holding out hope, Malcolm had to have something special. He wasn’t going down easy.
Aiden suddenly realized Reese might be just what Malcolm needed. Maybe she could crack open that window in Malcolm’s heart. She saw things others missed.
A smile slowly crept across his wrinkled face. This Reese, while not a perfect match for Malcolm in books, was sharp and far from the fool she seemed.
“Malcolm s in your hands now,
“I do my best
“Don’t worry about Alyssa and Everly. Those two have been spoiled rotten. Aiden felt the need to explain, given that his grandson’s future was in her hands.
“Alright, Grandpa, don’t worry. I gotta go.”
As Reese left the study, the polite smile on her face faded. Every single one of them in this rich family was a master actor.
Aiden might seem polite, but if she couldn’t fix Malcolm, just watch…
She probably wouldn’t even make it out
the
door.
