Chapter 603

"Maplewood Country Club."

The second Aaron finished talking, Evelyn hung up and headed straight for the door.

She'd barely taken a step when a strong hand grabbed her wrist, halting her in place.

Evelyn's mind was on Brooks. She glared at Charles, her expression icy, and fought to pull free. "Charles, let go!"

Charles could see the worry and urgency written all over Evelyn's face. It was like a knife to his chest.

He paused, then forced out, "I'll drive you."

Evelyn wanted to refuse, but the look in Charles's eyes left no room for debate.

She swallowed her protest.

Right now, nothing mattered more than Brooks.

Half an hour later, Charles's car rolled to a stop in front of Maplewood Country Club.

Before the car had even settled, Evelyn unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, not sparing Charles a glance.

Aaron was waiting by the entrance. The relief on his face was obvious, like he'd just seen his guardian angel. "Ms. Evelyn."

On the phone, he'd made Brooks's condition sound a little worse than it was-but honestly, only a little. Most of it was true.
