Chapter 301 Her brother CASSANDRA HB When Asher and I and a few Wild Crawler soldiers arrived at Keller’s, we were surprised to find that Dickson wasn’t there.

Instead, there was another younger man looking after the clinic, onel didn’t recognize. He had a gloomy expression on his bored face and his brown eyes rolled at us when we entered the clinic.

“I thought you were Dickson,” he remarked, then sighed as he shook his head in annoyance.

“Sorry to disappoint,” I apologized, though I barely meant it.
