Chapter 489

Aaron thought his day was done, but Dylan had other plans. He whipped out his phone and called Walter.

"Hey, Dad," he said casually.

Walter, who had just started entertaining guests again, was in the middle of a

chess game with the elder from the Dawson family.

"What's going on?" Walter asked, not looking up from the board.

"I ran into Aaron. He got a bit roughed up, so I took him to the hospital."

Walter paused, holding a chess piece mid-air, his voice steady. "Is it bad?" "Not really, but he won't be making it to tomorrow night's dinner."

Aaron sat right there, listening as Dylan spun his story without a hitch. In the Ferguson family, Walter was the top dog, and nobody dared to lie in front of him. Yet Dylan didn't even flinch.

"As long as it's nothing serious. Health comes first."
