Chapter 243 Sleeping Pills

For nearly a month, it was uneventful.

Darlene was recuperating in the Swale family’s villa. Reina rarely came back from the hospital. And it was hard to see Nigel because he studied in school during the winter break.

In the past, Dakota would occasionally go to the company. Now, she was worried that Darlene was too bored at home and that something would happen to her, so Dakota did not go to the company anymore. She stayed at home all day to keep Darlene company.

She also thought about holding a banquet to celebrate Darlene’s return to the Swale family and introducing her to the public.

She asked Darlene for her opinion and Darlene agreed immediately.

Dakota thought about it. She found that Darlene agreed to almost everything during this period of time.
