Chapter 170 Mabel Was Discharged
Alistair lay on his side, one arm folded beneath Caroline's head, serving as her pillow. Her long hair spilled over his arm, cool to the touch, smooth as silk.
He absentmindedly played with a strand, winding it around his fingers like it had wrapped around his heart. And he didn't mind. He could've stayed there forever. "How's Mabel doing?" he asked.

Caroline's face darkened. "Grandma! Don't talk like that again."
Mabel looked amused by her outrage. She burst out laughing, wrinkles bunching up around her eyes like a mischievous schoolkid. "Come on, you two looked so grim. I was just trying to lighten the mood."
"Well, it's not funny," Caroline snapped. "Don't say things like that again."
"See this girl? She's young
