Loving Mom 77

Chapter 77

“Sharon knows full well Kelly doesn’t have much time left, but she keeps playing her little games. Have you forgotten how she faked being sick, even staged a kidnapping just to get my and Theo’s attention?

“She’s been living the high life all these years, and now that she has Theo, there’s no way she’d let go of the marriage that easily. All of this is just another tactic-retreating in order to advance.”

Julliard looked at Carter, brows drawing together as if he was about to say something, when the tightly shut door to the hospital

room swung open.

A female caregiver appeared, visibly relieved to see Carter still in the hallway. “Mr. Biggs, good thing you haven’t left. Kelly is having a nightmare. We’ve tried everything, but she won’t wake up. Please come take a look.”

Carter gave a brief nod and walked back into the room.

Julliard stood still, watching Carter’s retreating figure disappear beyond the door. In the end, he said nothing.

Two days later, Sharon finally got a message from Julliard.

“I’ve looked into it,” he said. His voice on the phone was calm, devoid of emotion. “Wendy wasn’t taken by Carter. I’ll need a few more days to find out exactly where she is, so don’t worry just yet.”

Sharon let out a breath of relief, only for tension to knot up in her again the next second.
