187 Entering the Ward

Keira could feel Lewis and Uncle Olsen on the right side of the ward, so after leaving the room, she merely glanced briefly in that direction before heading left. ‘

Keira lowered her gaze. “Thanks for the heads you delay it for another two days for me?”

her.

Holly immediately said, “No problem. I’ll apply for a delayed transfer, postponing it to the day after
