The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 252

"Sure, you've only got one kidney, but it's working just as well as anyone else's. The real issue here is HIV. That's what's messing up your kidney. My brother's flying back in a few hours to get you checked out. Let alone Carson, neither Antonio nor Linda would swallow that story either.
