Chapter 397.
Mersi
After a long pause, she asked again, “Anything else?”
Sam was drinking her juice, a little confused by what Tanya meant.”Huh? Anything else what?”
Things your dad initiated with your mom.”
Sam put down his cup, a slight frown on his face.”Nope. After that, Mom got sick with a fever, and Dad took care of her the whole time. He said kids get sick easily, so he didn’t let me get close until Mom was all better. That’s when I finally saw her again.”
Hearing that, Tanya paused again.”Your dad took care of your mom after she got sick?”
Yeah!”
Tanya lowered her gaze, looking at Sam.”Your great-grandma told your dad to do that, right?”
Sam shook his head. “No way. Mom got a fever before dawn yesterday, and after Dad found out she was sick, he started taking care of her while calling someone to get Grandpa Carter over here in a helicopter to see her. Great-grandma didn’t even know Mom was sick until Grandpa Carter arrived.”
Tanya had a pretty good guess who “Grandpa Carter” was, judging by Sam’s words.
After all, the guy was pretty well-known in the city.
She asked, “Even after Dr. Carter arrived, your dad was still taking care of your mom? So, your dad was with your mom all day yesterday?”

Tanya didn’t say anything else.
She’d called Chase yesterday. He didn’t pick up at first.
She thought something might’ve happened to him, so she called Jackson. Jackson said Chase had called him a little while ago, saying he had something to deal with and had pushed all his scheduled work for today.
Hearing that, she figured something was up with Chase and called him again.
This time, Chase answered. But he told her it wasn’t a big deal, just something at the family estate keeping him busy…
With Chase saying that, she didn’t press for details.
So, Chase blew off work yesterday and told her something came up at the old house, all to stay there and take care of Ashley?
Seeing Tanya had stopped talking and was just staring at the journal, Sam figured she was really into her reading. So, Sam didn’t bother her again. But he was kind of bored alone, and he sighed, looking towards the door.”Why is Dad taking so long to call back?”
Just as he finished speaking, Chase walked back in, pushing the door open.
Hearing him, Chase ruffled his hair. “Hungry?”
“A little.
After a couple of words with Sam, he noticed Tanya was still staring at the journal, quiet. Chase asked, “Something you don’t get?”
Chase’s meaning was clear; she could ask him anything she didn’t understand.
Tanya turned her head to look at Chase.
Chase’s attitude towards her now seemed no different from how it used to be.
