Fenton held his wife as the doctor that Taylor had sent for examined Joe carefully. The man then looked at them and said, "Dehydration and hunger seems to be the only problems that I can find. I suggest getting him to drink a lot of fluids for the next two days and starting him on regular foods after that. He should be fine."
"Thank you." Fenton said as the man left. Mrs. Hardy sighed and said aloud, "What was he thinking?"
"I don't know. This isn't like Joe. I wish that he would calm down and stop thinking that the…Network is out to destroy this family."
"You think that the Network is up to something?"
"I knew Arthur for a long time. There's just too much evidence that he tried to use me and the boys for his own gain. Joe thinks that the man could be trusted, but it's clear that he couldn't." Fenton took a deep breath and then said, "I don't think that we should allow Joe to continue this madness. Any time that he brings it up, we should just change the subject."
"Are you sure about this?"
"If it caused this to happen, I'm afraid to see what else his obsession with the Network will cause."
Nancy watched Taylor as she stared at the ocean. Taylor turned and asked Nancy, "Why do you think Joe dislikes me so much?"
"I don't know."
"It's because of my father." Taylor gave Nancy the edited version of what had happened. Nancy's expression became more understanding. "And that's why he thinks I'm out to hurt him. I may have been angry at first, but I want to make peace. I don't want to come between Joe and his family. They're my family now."
"I can see that." Nancy smiled and added, "Don't worry. I'm sure that everything will work out." As she walked away, Taylor smirked and said, "In more ways than you'll ever understand."
