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."
