Josephine awoke with a pounding headache. She sat up, cradling her head in her hands, but the dizziness overwhelmed her, forcing her back down. Dr. Halliday came out of the kitchen with a glass of warm water and some medicine. When he saw Josephine awake, his face lit up. "Miss Vance, you woke up ju
Josephine unwittingly tightened her grip on her phone when she saw him. She stood up, wanting to leave. Seth swaggered up to her. He grabbed her arm and yanked her back as she started to run away. Josephine fell onto the couch, her gaze fixed on him with caution. Seth did not do anything to her. He
"Nevermind," he said. Then, he stood up and added, "I'll visit you another day. The incident with Mr. Walter has not been concluded."Josephine sighed internally as she heard this. Seth turned to look at Josephine when he reached the door. "Were you not going to ask Lewis about Mrs. Jinkins' wherea

Lewis slid his chair backward, leaving about half a meter between him and the desk. Then, he lowered his gaze to look at the person under the desk. Josephine felt his gaze and looked up at him. She met his intense eyes and quickly buried her head between her knees, avoiding his sight.Conrad could n
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
