Chapter 1021:

Lately, Collin had hardly contacted him at all. Yesterday, in fact, Collin had only reached out once—to ask for help at the hospital with Gorman. Even then, Collin made it clear he’d rather Linsey stay out of it.

A moment’s uncertainty flickered in Linsey’s eyes before she replied, “I’ll talk to Collin later, see if he gives me a straight answer.”
