The Bound Between Us

Chapter 685

Hank returned to Southridge Estates with the twins, and Judy was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed. She had been staying there with little Patty, feeling the emptiness of the house and missing her grandkids terribly, yet unable to see them. As soon as Hank saw Judy, he handed little Emmy to her, saying, "Mom, can you hold her for a bit? My arms are getting tired."
