Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 362

Lisa didn't answer me but kept watching Brandon from the window. "How long is Mr. Howell going to be out there?"

The man outside was almost begging, while Brandon just stood there with his hand in his pocket, bathed in the morning sun.

I couldn't stop staring.

I felt a surge of pride at the thought that he was my man.

Being involved with Brandon felt like a twist of fate. What began as a way to distract myself from my breakup with Chris had turned into something truly special.

I realized I'd found a gem.

Lisa nudged me with her shoulder. "You're not answering me."

I blinked and replied, "He should be done soon."

The man outside was probably begging Brandon to fix his shoulder. Ellie had once told me that Brandon had learned how to set bones from an old villager because she had often dislocated her arm as a child and needed his help.

He had spent enough time with the old villager to learn how to do it himself, which probably explained why the man was being so obedient toward Brandon now.

The man was still pleading, but Brandon seemed to only be teaching him a lesson. He'd probably fix the man's shoulder afterward. Besides, Brandon needed to take me to get my blood test results, so he wouldn't spend too much time on this guy.

He was probably waiting for Lisa and me, so I said, "He'll probably finish up once we leave."

Lisa understood right away. "Then, let's talk while we walk."

She took the coat from the chair and put it on me as she talked about Jewel's situation.

"I set up a check-up and surgery for Jewel after you said that she was fine. But after paying, she disappeared," Lisa said, frustrated.

"She clearly didn't want to go through with the abortion," I said, showing some disdain.

"Exactly. If she didn't want the abortion, then why did she keep asking me? You should find out what she's up to," Lisa said.
