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.”

His words rendered the woman tongue-tied. Is this supposed to be a compliment or an insult?

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.
