The Lies He Told Me 172

The day Russell was discharged from the hospital, Grace was there to pick him up.

Russell asked with a smile, "Where are Antonio and Omar?"

Kendra, with a look that could melt hearts, added, "Grace, please don't be angry with Antonio. It's all my fault."

Grace, in an oddly calm voice, asked, "Is the baby she's expecting yours?"

Antonio's silence spoke volumes.
