Chapter 125: The Choice My Son Made-1

A few steps out of the elevator, Damien’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He slipped it out, thumb swiping the screen.

Maya: Sorry, love. Harper suddenly pulled me upstairs-she’s not feeling well, stomach trouble. I didn’t mean to slip away without saying anything. Please tell your mother I’m sorry. I’m with her now in the room, making sure she’s okay.
