Chapter 407:

After a lengthy conversation, Tracy drifted off, exhausted. Elyse gently slipped out of bed, draped a blanket over Tracy, and left the room quietly. In the living room, Driscoll, sporting a bandage on his head, expressed his concern. “How is Miss Bernard?”

Jayden frowned. “What are you planning to discuss?”
