Chapter 763

"Don't worry about it. And hey, stop overthinking things, will you?"

A week later, Caldwell was discharged from the hospital and back home.

Christine received a text from Dailey saying he was coming over.

They had been texting sporadically over the days, mostly updates through Jane.

Knowing Caldwell was okay made her happy, and on a whim, she decided to hit the grocery store to pick up some ingredients, planning to cook something up.

She had failed before, but you know what they say-third time's a charm.

This time, she was determined to whip up something edible.

But she overestimated herself again.

Upon entering, he was met with billowing smoke, making it hard for him to see.
