Startled, Josiah instinctively shrank back, his voice tinged with a helpless plea, “Come on, can’t you go easy just this once? You’re supposed to be recovering from that injury, yet here you are, stirring things up. Are you trying to aggravate your condition even further?”

“I understand Ms. Thornton has been keeping an eye on Josiah recently? That must have been quite the challenge, as handling him is like dealing with a monkey. We’ll be counting on your patience moving forward,” Mason commented, his tone even and serene
