Chapter 554

Chapter 554 Is That All?

Sean chuckled softly as he sat down beside Abigail and gazed at Scarlett’s sleeping face. He gently spoke, “When I was young, my parents passed away and my grandparents raised me. The year they died, I was struck by a grave illness that affected both my physical and mental
