Chapter 719:

Kristian’s injuries had fully healed during that time, and he had regained consciousness.

Freya kept in contact with Lawrence about Kristian’s condition, but each time she asked, the response was the same. Things weren’t stable. He’d let her know when they were.

“Just now, my father asked me when Kristian would be home for Christmas,” Isaac said casually. “If he’s not better by then, I might need your help pretending everything’s normal—for the family’s sake.”

“Of course,” Freya agreed without hesitation.

After a little more polite conversation, Isaac ended the call.
