Chapter 107

“Don’t bother, I’m not going to agree to this,” Samuel replied, his tone dead serious.

“There was an accident at your mom’s company’s anniversary party tonight. She got seriously hurt,” Jeffrey said. “She came home and didn’t get any treatment.”

Samuel’s heart clenched. “Wait, weren’t you there?”

“A crystal chandelier fell from the ceiling, but I was too far away to do anything,” Jeffrey said, voice tense.

Samuel fell silent. Normally, he would quickly spot the flaws in the situation. But right now, his mind was filled with images of Rebecca being injured, making it hard for him to think as clearly as usual. “Really?”

Jeffrey nodded seriously. “It is.”

Samuel hung up on Jeffrey and immediately dialed Rebecca’s number. Her phone, left buzzing on the couch, went completely unheard by Rebecca, who was in the shower. But Jeffrey, standing right by the door, caught every single ring.

His hand unconsciously tightened around the phone. He prayed that Rebecca was either in the middle of washing up or blow–drying her hair and hadn’t heard anything.

This time, fate was on his side. The call rang a few times and then cut off. Just then, Samuel’s call popped up on his phone. “Alright, you can come in, but you better not be mean to Mom.”

“Sure, your rules,” Jeffrey replied, keeping a straight face.

“Don’t get handsy with Mom,” Samuel warned, tossing off his blanket and hopping out of bed to pull on his shoes.

“If your mom passes out, how am I supposed to get her to the hospital without touching her?” Jeffrey, sly as ever, shot back. “And who’s gonna take care of her wounds if I can’t even help?”

Samuel froze on the stairs. Jeffrey kept going. “If you keep hesitating and something actually happens to your
