Chapter 416

“Right, we’re not even friends, Dr. Karina, Let’s make that clear. I chimed in, casting a shadow over Neil’s already gloomy mood.

It was a pretense of reconciliation but, in reality, a display of triumph.

Norah was making them exercise. Seeing me, she took the groceries from me, “Ms. Finch, I’ll start breakfast.”

Norah went to the kitchen, and I stayed with the kids.
