stay silent, and even promised to back us up if necessary. | never imagined he'd cto us again! And worse,
he’s clearly done his homework. He knows exactly what's going on with us. He even knows that Belinda is now
the youngest attending physician at the Grand Plains General Hospital!”

go directly to Belinda and ask her for it! I had no choice but to stall him—I told him to givetwo days to come
up with the money.”
Silence hung in the air. Baker's jaw tightened, his fingers curling into a fist as he processed the situation.
