His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 129

Tessa had been swamped with work for the past few days. She had to attend court on a daily basis, while making time to accompany Lucas for his workplace injury assessment and work capacity evaluation.

Tessa had arranged for the Grangers to be transferred to a private ward in a tertiary-level hospital. She also asked Jasmine to buy down jackets, thick quilts, and electric blankets for the siblings.
