Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 223

“Hey, don’t you try to scare me!” After Allen shouted those words, his eyes filled with fear. He bolted away before I could respond. “Fine, Chris, I’m a bit tied up now.

After Leroy left, I dragged a chair over to the bedside and sat down. “Are all your injuries taken care of? Did we miss anything?” “No. The injuries look worse than they are.
