Chapter 100

Sonny didn’t answer her. Instead, he wiped away his tears and left sobbing.

“Don’t freak out, Callum. That’s just how he is.” Elspeth turned around and gave Callum an apologetic smile.

“It’s fine. Mr. Schwartz… has got quite a cute character.”

After all, Sonny was his mother’s savior. Therefore, even though such behavior of Sonny was puzzling. Callum couldn’t possibly make negative remarks about him.

“Alright. We will stay by Mrs. Winthrop’s side tonight and wait for her to wake up. It’s the last day, so we must not let anything else happen to her.”

At that, Callum nodded and said, “Okay.”

Nonetheless, they were fortunate, for no one came to harass them again this evening.

The next morning, Callum, asleep, suddenly felt a slight disturbance coming from his palm.
