Chapter 190

Calls wasted no time on his way home. As soon as he finished his tasks, he hurried back. The house was unusually quiet, and the familiar figure he expected on the couch was nowhere to be seen With furrowed brows, Caleb asked. "Where's Maddie, Mrs. Ziegler?"

"Ms. Larson is resting upstairs." Sarah replied.

Sarah shook her head. "He's still upstairs."

With a sharpened gaze, Caleb was about to head up when Eugene descended the staircase with a smile. "Caleb, you're back? Perfect timing. Wanna go to the supermarket with me?"
