Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 209

When Stella was ready to step out the door, Tabitha couldn't help but notice her limp.

"Boss, isn't there anything you can do about that leg? Have you seen a doctor?"

Doctors? Of course, she'd seen them. Whenever the pain became unbearable, she'd end up in a clinic.

But aside from some physical therapy, the medications never seemed to help much. Probably just how her body is wired.

Last night, the pain had jolted her awake, leaving her groggy and disoriented. Yet at some point, it had eased, giving way to warmth that lulled her back to sleep.

Thinking back, she recalled a strange sensation- cozy, slightly damp, and oddly comforting.
