Chapter 1142

Ludwik heard Parker's teasing and shot him a cold glance, ignoring the jibe.

Instead, he said seriously, "First, go check on Whitney, then handle your stuff. My daughter is still in the hospital... Whitney won't forget, but she's overwhelmed right now. If she's in a better mood, just give her a nudge."
