Chapter 187

Chris felt a headache coming on. His father had actually sent ten men to keep Olivia under watch?

“I’ll handle it.”

Catlin’s voice was tight with frustration. “Chris, I know your family doesn’t approve of her, but she’s sick! How is she supposed to recover when they’re treating her like a prisoner?”

Chris pinched the bridge of his nose. “I get it.”

“She should just leave the hospital. Has Whispering Bay been set up? If it’s ready, she should move there to rest.

After what the Ashfords had pulled, there was no way Olivia could stay in that hospital any longer.

The mention of Whispering Bay only made Chris’s expression darker.

“It’s still being arranged. Just tell her to stay calm and not overthink things,” he said before hanging up.

“Still arranging? What do you mean? Is the place not ready yet?”

That vague response sent a wave of unease through Catlin.

Chris frowned. “Let’s leave it at that. I’ll call you later.”

He didn’t have an answer for her and hung up abruptly.
