Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 165

Grace came sprinting up, panic etched across her face, as she called out, “Mr. Curtis, Suzan’s hurt!”

Upon hearing someone was injured, Leanne didn’t hesitate. Her long strides closed the distance as she rushed toward the scene. The instincts of a physician, honed through years of medical school and practice, were ingrained in her very marrow.

Impartial in the face of injury, she would’ve assisted anyone in need – even Curtis, had he been the one wounded.
