Chapter 508

"Are you okay, Samuel? Have you been eating well? Is anyone bothering you?" Wendy asked.

Stanley watched Wendy as she spoke, her face filled with genuine concern for Samuel. The worry and care were unmistakable, no trace of it being forced.

Stanley turned away, unwilling to look or listen.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." Samuel's voice came through the phone, light and teasing. "Mr. Hawk has been treating me really well since he brought me here. I think I've even gained a little weight."
