The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 630

Hastings glanced toward the hospital room, desperation etched across his face. "Mr. Carmichael, please could I stay?"

The thought of not being allowed to remain by Citrine's side was unbearable. Even so, he clung to a shred of hope and pleaded with Raymond.
