Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 74

He was dressed in a beige casual suit which made him look tall and graceful, with a demeanor that was both gentle and refined.

He flashed a gentle smile. "A friend of mine is in the hospital, just came to pay a visit."

Mark's expression turned serious. "Everything okay?"

"Well, I ran into Mark," I said.

Christine, with her sharp gaze, whispered to me, "No luck?"

"I didn't even get a chance to tell him."
