Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1617

Chapter 1617

Caprice was sleeping soundly beside Madam Stockton.

The man sat straight on the chair next to the bed while Queenie and Emerence checked on Madam Stockton.

Julie tried to have a look from the entrance, and when she saw Madam Stockton looking healthier, she frowned.

It was at that moment that Emerence turned around.

Julie’s eyes flickered nervously and she quickly wore a happy look on her face.

Emerence was slightly surprised, but she managed to keep her cool and said respectfully, “Ms. Julie, you’re here!”

Queenie immediately turned around when she heard Emerence calling Julie. “Julie, look! Mom is looking better already!”

Julie smiled at her. “I saw. This is great.”

Night arrived as always, and along came the rain drizzling on the roof. The rain dripped off the beams and wet the front porch.

Sherry had a few bites of leftover dinner from last night before she sat on the couch blankly. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Caprice, and they somehow lullabied her to sleep.

Just when she fell asleep, a figure came close to her. He came forth with rhythmic footsteps, leaving a trail of wet footprints behind. He approached the couch.

There was only one lamp switched on in the living room. Although dim, it was bright enough for him to see the woman’s face and her body curled up on the couch. Her hair was slightly messy, her pale face looked slimmer than usual, and her cheeks had started to cave in.

She was still wearing the same clothes from the day when she was locked in. Her scalded arm was exposed. The blisters had hardened into scabs and started to fall off, leaving a faint scar on her arm.

He frowned. He instinctively leaned over and stroked her scars.

Swoosh!
