Chapter 209 Why

Julian grabbed a roll of tissues from somewhere and tore off a few sheets, tossing them my way. I grudgingly wiped my nose with them.

"I've already said it-don't act recklessly, and he'll be fine. If he does, well, that's the Grim Reaper's business, not mine." Julian's mood seemed off, his frown deepening as he glanced over my test results. "Alright, let's get to my office. Stop bothering the other doctors."

"Zack, go back to the construction site. Caleb's still there, and I'm worried he won't be able to handle everything. And please, keep the pregnancy thing quiet.
