Chapter 1259:

Gracelyn chimed in supportively, “Florrie, since Kallie is feeling unwell, we should have your husband check on her. Kallie rarely trusts anyone like this. If he proves capable of improving Kallie’s condition, perhaps he should spend more time with her moving forward.”

Florrie felt a surge of anxiety but found herself unable to respond.
