Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 282: Then its a deal.

Allison figured it was nothing more than a wager with no clear end in sight.

After all, she was burdened with a treasure trove of secrets that Kellan would never fully uncover.

Even the Cobweb operatives had failed to get a glimpse of her life after she walked away from school.

Once she finished discussing the necklace, she shifted to another topic.

Lornas had a stroke of luck since the accident.

Floyd mentioned that with another six months of treatment, she could nearly be the girl she once was.

But after everything shes been through, she may not bounce back to being as vibrant as her peers.

Kellan reclined on the sofa, legs crossed.

His thin lips were slightly pursed, revealing faint marksevidence that hed been bittenalong with the lingering trace of blood.

Thats more than enough for me, he replied earnestly.

He had never imagined that Lorna would regain her ability to speak.

As he slipped the necklace back around his neck, he could still feel its warmth from Allisons touch.

Kellan had always been a whirlwind of unpredictability.

In recent years, his temper had soured, largely due to the chronic headaches that had plagued him.

This turmoil often left those around him trembling in fear.

Yet, amidst it all, the faint scent of Allison brought him an unexpected calm.

He was acutely aware of Allisons desire to meet his grandmother.

After discussing Lornas situation, he broached another subject.

Grandma has been in the nursing home for a long time.

Her moments of clarity are becoming rare.

If youre interested in learning about the past, Sherman can escort you there, Kellan said, his tone matter-of-fact.
