Forbidden Passion

Chapter 531 Ties That Bind

The ambulance screeched to a halt, and the paramedics jumped out, scooping Brandon onto a stretcher and hustling him back inside. The doc inside yelled, "We need a family member!"

Theodore, just in a dark gray sweater 'cause he used his coat to keep Brandon warm in the snow, stumbled a bit. Phoebe grabbed his arm to steady him. Theodore shot her a look, his eyes all sad and stuff. Phoebe squeezed his arm and said, "You go. Mom and I will catch up."

He nodded and made a beeline for the ambulance.

By then, Bishop was already there, about to ditch his crutch and climb in when someone yanked him back by the collar.

Theodore shoved him without a word, making Bishop stumble. If Daisy hadn't caught him, he would've face-planted.

Bishop yelled, "Theodore, I'm the eldest son of the Reynolds family!"

Theodore didn't even look at him; he just hopped into the ambulance and sat next to Brandon. The doors slammed shut, and they sped off.

Bishop was fuming, shaking with anger. Daisy said, "Mr. Reynolds, you should bail out Ms. Black first."

Bishop, still raging, looked at Taylor and hobbled over with his crutch. "If anything happens to my dad, you're gonna pay."

"Bishop!" Phoebe snapped, glaring at him. He sneered and walked off.

Daisy hurried over and said, "Mrs. Taylor Reynolds, I drove here. Let me take you and Mrs. Phoebe Reynolds to the hospital."

Taylor, too worried to care about grudges, nodded.
