Sarah came back, and you can leave the rest to me.” Theresa said, “Compared with that, I hope you will focus on your recuperation. Your hair has turned gray.”
Johnson froze and looked away. Theresa was well-behaved when she was a child. She was smart and sensible. Their family was well off, but she was not spoiled.
