Melody started smiling at the models and waving to Kenji who was doing the photography of the event and then did a little walk down the fashion runway unintentionally.

He can wake up and hear us arguing !” Leo said softly as Rachel told him to leave Alex and her alone in the hospital ward and not to come back again."Can we discuss the matter outside the ward ?" headded.“With all due respect, I’d rather not discuss it.
