Chapter 1287:

When Laney entered, Merrick looked up and greeted her cheerfully, “Laney, come here. I have something to tell you.”

Laney smiled politely and poured him a glass of water. Merrick leaned forward and said, “Bring it closer.”

Cliff stepped in, taking Laney’s place and offering the glass to Merrick.

“Here, open up,” he said.

Merrick paused, momentarily taken aback.
