Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 265: Half a month later, Allison went to see Lorna, hoping to discuss some important matters with Kellan as well.

Ms.

Clarke, youre finally here! Jim greeted her at the entrance with a bright smile, immediately stepping aside to guide her in.

Both Mr.

Lloyd and Lorna have missed you terribly, especially Mr.

Lloyd.

Hes been using that perfume you gave him almost every day Jim, thats only because the scent helps with his headaches, Allison replied with a small, helpless smile.

Jims grin widened.

Even so, its all thanks to your wonderful creation.

Hows Lorna doing? Allison asked gently, her eyes softening.

Shes improving.

She can say a few words now, though slowly, Jim said, opening the door to the main hall.

Shes made quite a bit of progress since last time.

He paused, turning back to look at her with a more serious gaze.

Ms.

Clarke, were all grateful for what you did that day.

If it hadnt been for you, both Mr.

Lloyd and Lorna… They might not have made it.

Though Jim hadnt been there, he had pieced everything together from the reports, understanding just how close it had been.

If Allison had made even the slightest mistake, things could have gone horribly wrong for everyone.
