How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 131

From the moment Elodie opened the passenger door of Jarrod's car to the second Sylvie-his actual girlfriend-arrived on the scene, Naylor witnessed the whole thing, every detail.

He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. How did he always manage to stumble into these kinds of dramatic moments?

No wonder Elodie had been eyeing Jarrod the other day-apparently, she'd been cooking up some new plan. And here she was, trying to hitch a ride with him, only to get put in her place by the real girlfriend.

"What's so funny?" came a low, amused voice through his phone.

Naylor tapped the ash from his cigarette and grinned. "Just caught a pretty entertaining scene, that's all. Honestly, too much attention from women can be a real hassle-some of the tricks they pull to get a guy's attention are really something."

The man on the other end replied dryly, "Since when did you get so chatty?"

Naylor choked on his own laughter. "Right, only you get to dish it out. I'm just here for the show."

He stubbed out his cigarette, then changed the subject. "Elias, when are you finally coming home? Are you coming back for Christmas?"

"We'll see," came the calm reply.

Naylor clicked his tongue. "Dr. Warwick, with your experience, you'd do far more good back here than wasting it abroad. We need you."
