Nathan was waiting outside.

“Mr. Salter,” Nathan approached. “As per your earlier instructions, the lawyer is in place…”

Nathan choked on his words, a second later doubting his own hearing. “Mr. Salter, are you saying you want to defend Ms. Joie?”

“Just do as I say.” Isaac opened the car door. “Handle this with care, and keep it from her.”

Nathan paused for a moment, realizing that ‘her’ meant Brittany.

On the way back to the hospital, Isaac stopped to pick up some of Brittany’s favorite treats.

Nathan watched as Isaac entered the hospital, then reached out to Jolin. “Jolin, Mr. Salter would like you to represent Ms. Joie.”
