Chapter 333

She pouted at him. "I was just asking out of curiosity."

I turned to him. "The checkup is done. You should take her to get something to eat. I'm going to check on something."

"Maddie, what are you going to do?" Ellie asked, her curiosity piqued.

Brandon understood my intention and gently pushed her along as he said, "You weren't this chatty before. Have you turned into a chatterbox since coming here?"

"I'm talking more because I'm worried I might not get the chance to later." Her words left Brandon silent and affected me deeply.

"Stop talking nonsense." Brandon patted her on the head lightly.

Ellie linked her arm through his, and they walked away until they were out of sight. I then turned to find Zack.
