No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 174



Listening to Haley's conversation with the nurse, I only then learned that she had taken a tumble at the amusement park today, causing some distress to her pregnancy. Trouble had finally found its way to us. But who could be blamed? She had brought this upon herself.
