Chapter 16

Furrowing her brows, Bailey thought about Rhonda, and her expression darkened progressively.

“I know who did it, but don't you worry. I can handle this just fine.”

“Okay. If this were seven years ago, perhaps I would have been worried. Today, however, you've grown a body full of thorns. I'm more relieved that you can take care of yourself.”

Meanwhile, in the Luther residence, Maxton immediately looked for his mother the moment he woke up.

Yoel and Gwendolyn had not left either. When they heard Maxton asking for Bailey, they were dumbfounded as well.

“My dear boy, don't cry. If you keep crying, you're going to break my heart.” Felicity was surprisingly patient with her precious grandson. Cradling Maxton in her arm, she kept coaxing the child.

“Send me to the condominium! I want to go there!”

Upon hearing that, Felicity froze.
