Silas Dawson appeared at the door of the barn with his face unfitted.
First he saw Caleb.
Then Clara.
And finally the blankets spread out over the straw.
“Get out of my property,” he ordered.
Caleb didn’t move.
Your daughter needs a doctor.
My daughter is none of your business.
“It will be from Dr. Reeves as soon as he arrives.
Silas’ face changed.
Who was it for him?
Clara closed her eyes.
Silas immediately understood.
“Noah!
He turned to the house, but Caleb blocked the exit.
Let him go.
“Get away, Whitaker.
“No.
Silas clenched his fists.
You came to buy a horse.
“And I found something much more important.
Clara screamed again.
This time Silas didn’t even look at her.
That’s what ended up convincing Caleb.
He was not a terrified father because his daughter was suffering.
He was a terrified man because someone could discover something.
“What papers are you waiting for?” asked Caleb.
