Chapter 198

Kendrick’s brow furrowed ever so slightly. During his illness, a parade of so–called specialists had come knocking, each more self–promoting than the last, but not a single one had any real talent!

“Dad,” Damian, sensing Kendrick’s skepticism, pleaded, “Dad! Trust me, Ms. Morris can cure you!”
