Chapter 258

There were a lot of panels happening in the pack house.

And she would never have the chance to figure out what happened to him in that period of time.

Janet took in a deep breath fought back the tears in his eyes and looked away from

She had to quit those sentimental thoughts.

She needed to focus on finding her son.
