Chapter 237

The endless ringing on the other end of the phone left Selena feeling puzzled and anxious. Something felt off, and she couldn't shake the unsettling feeling creeping over her. Nibbling on her lip, she decided to call Dr. Campbell instead. He was Josh's doctor, and she figured he would have the answers she needed.
