Chapter 60

Jessica typed a quick message on her phone.

"I'll make my own arrangements. There's no need for you to worry."

Phelps glanced at the screen, then looked up at her, his gaze lingering.

If she lived long enough, maybe there'd be another seven years. But this was her last. She'd spent her final seven years on Timothy.
