The Wedding Game That Cost Him Everything Chapter 52
After Tucker’s mother returned to the United States, the Moretti Family withdrew its private warnings to cooperating organizations.
There was no public apology.
But all three temporary housing sites that had suspended cooperation returned to Safe Return’s list.
Sierra still wasn’t satisfied.
“They can withdraw it today and issue it again tomorrow.”
She sent me a new set of proposed alliance rules.
There were only a few short lines.
No Family could block a rescue once an extreme weather warning had been issued. No Family could interfere with emergency medical treatment under the excuse of internal protection. And no one could be punished for donating to a relief project whose records were subject to verification.
After I read it, I asked, “Why are you letting me decide?”
“Because they want Safe Return to accept protection from the three-party alliance.”
“I won’t.”
Sierra sounded as if she had expected exactly that.
“I didn’t think you would.”
The moment Safe Return accepted protection, the same position that granted it today could take it back tomorrow.
