Chapter 88

Caleb had been observing from a distance and approached only after the others had departed

Gazing at the ailing Madeline, his heart aching, Caleb didn't say anything for a moment. Then, he softly inquired, "Do you want to take a day off on Monday?"

"No need. It's just a cold. It's only Saturday, so who knows, I might recover by tomorrow, Madeline replied softly. She pressed her hand against her forehead, leaned back against the couch, and didn't seem overly concerned.
