Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Estrella sighed, “I have no idea, Thomas. And honestly, it’s not my circus, not my

monkeys.”

She had been a bit under the weather a few days back with a mild cold, but it had been over two weeks since she last saw Jason. If he had caught something, it certainly wasn’t

Hearing Thomas’ over-the-top story, Estrella laughed, “A fever that high? He wouldn’t need cremation at that point.”

Estrella, seeing she had rendered Thomas mute, playfully smacked his head with the stack of papers she was holding, “You should be on a comedy stage.” If someone had a fever that high for days, they’d be a goner, not waiting around till now.
