His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 120

Tessa stood in the middle of the howling wind. The tip of her nose had already turned red from the biting cold. Her heart squeezed painfully.

Anne was only 11 years old, yet her life was already coming to an end. For the sake of his sister, Lucas had dropped out of school early, choosing instead to work to earn money to pay off her medical bills.
