Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back (Leanne Castillo) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

Leanne, as she had for over a decade, took the scolding without a word of defense or retort. Jennifer was heartbroken and didn’t carry on for long before she dismissively waved Leanne away. 

When Leanne emerged, Curtis’ figure was nowhere to be seen. He must have left with. Suzan, not bothering to wait for her. 

Leanne felt no disappointment, no sense of loss. It was almost an expected realization. 

Unfortunately, this place was too remote, and Uncle Kyle who lived there had not been in the best of health, spending his days convalescing in his house halfway up the hill. 

Getting a cab here was easy, but hailing one from the mountain was a different story. 

Leanne walked along the winding mountain road for a while, watching with frustration as her increased fare on the ride-sharing app still attracted no drivers. 

She was about to bite the bullet and increase the fare even more when Phillip’s carp up beside her.

After hanging up, Leanne spoke up, “You can drop me off at the subway entrance.” 

“Headed to the hospital?” Phillip guessed, catching the gist of her phone conversation. “It’s not far. I’ll take you there.” 

At the hospital, Leanne stepped out of the car and leaned down to thank him. 

Phillip replied simply, “No need for thanks. We’re family.” 

Leanne thought to herself, not for much longer.
