No one expected Victor Morgan's reaction to be so extreme—his blood pressure shot right up. His injuries were still very serious, and a reaction like this would only make them worse.
Vera Warner tried to calm him down, but it didn't seem to be working. Mrs. Morgan hurried forward and patted his chest.
"Victor, don't get so worked up. This is just temporary. Vera requested this herself, so there was nothing we could do."
She was worried Victor Morgan would blame them. Since Vera had already taken the fall, Mrs. Morgan decided to stick with that story.
Vera Warner just sighed. She couldn't bring herself to blame them. Although they had gone too far, their intentions were good—they were just trying to do what was best for their son. She didn't want to hold it against them.
