Chapter 81 A taste of jealousy
When Ca ssandra Keller arrived at my study for the health check the next day, was still thinking about Adalyn’s accusatory words. I wasn’t st upid enough to fall for the claim that the healer was somehow entangled with the king of Yurene. There

Ca ssandra looked up from her notes and seemed taken aback by the offer.
“Excuse me?” she asked as her brow furrowed.
