Expecting His Secret Heir(35)

Eve sniffed, and there was determination in her voice as she said,  "Fine. Do whatever you have to do. I'll have the guest quarters set up."  Abruptly, she turned away and began texting rapidly.

Lucinda sighed. She turned to Carson-and Josh. "I just want what's best for my patient," she reminded the men.

"It sounds like you're what's best for the patient," Josh said as if he were seriously complimenting her.

Lucinda had never physically assaulted anyone in her entire life, but  she was damned close to taking a swing at Josh. That did it. He needed  to get his nose out of this medical situation-and her business-before  she lost what was left of her temper. "Can I talk to you for a second?"  she demanded, not bothering to smooth her tone over with a smile.

Carson's eyebrows jumped up, but Josh showed no sign that he understood the danger. "Sure."

Good. Great. She was going to tell Josh Calhoun off the way she should  have done seventeen years ago, and then she was going to get on with her  life.

Without him.
