Chapter 16 Get In

"It's Dr. Trevino from the hospital."

The driver, Emmett, recognized Everleigh. He met her at the hospital. "Mr. Godfrey, should we give Dr. Trevino a ride?"

In the back seat, Theodore pursed his lips. After the light turned green, he averted his gaze resolutely. "No need for that."

Emmett shivered and kept quiet. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

It was raining cats and dogs. A clap of thunder roared across the city. The menacing rain was seemingly trying to wash away everything in the city. Theodore's brows drew together.
