Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1606

Chapter 1606

When John arrived at the hospital with Caprice, the nurses were just changing out Madam Stockton’s saline IV drip.

Queenie stood guard by the bed. There were dark and heavy circles under her eyes.

She was not going to go anywhere, she wanted to be with her father.

Julie was slightly saddened by this.

John turned to her and told her, “Caprice will be sticking with me, don’t worry about
