Chapter 622



Abdul could see I was worried and said, “I know it's tough. Have some chicken soup to keep you strong.”

He then asked, "Did Gregory mention when he's coming back?"

I replied, "Around Thanksgiving."

Abdul nodded, "Alright, stick with the soup till he's back, and if anything comes up, give me a ring."

I stood up, saying, "Thank you so much."

Abdul replied, "No need for formalities with me."

After thanking Abdul again, I left the clinic. It had started raining outside at some point.

My bodyguard held an umbrella over me, ensuring not a single drop of rain touched me.

Getting back to Elmwood Villas, I found someone looking like a drowned rat.

"Why on earth didn't you take shelter from the rain? Why didn't you call me?"

I hurried over and guided her all the way to the bathroom.

“Take a hot shower first. It's not summer anymore; a fall rain brings a chill.”

While she was showering, I brewed some ginger tea.

Christine, with her hair still damp, came into the kitchen and hugged me, looking so forlorn.

"Jane, from now on, I, Christine, wouldn't chase after Dailey even if he was the last man on earth."

I remembered Gregory's words and thought, if only I could have prevented Christine from going abroad.
