The Last Time I Cried Your Name novel Chapter 594

Under his gaze, Petty didn't flinch or look away, meeting his eyes evenly.

The main house at Misty Vale was massive. Calling the first floor a maze might be a stretch, but this certainly wasn't the only route to the dining room.

Yet, as luck would have it, she had taken this path and bumped right into them.

Franco's dark brows knit together slightly. He pulled his hands from his pockets, and Wendy Holt could palpably feel the air pressure around him drop.

Just as he anticipated Petty would turn around and take a detour, preparing to step forward to stop her, Petty only paused for a fraction of a second before continuing her steady pace toward them.

The heating in the house was cranked up. She looked stunning today in a fitted, teal mock-neck dress. The generous sweep of the skirt rippled like ocean waves as she walked, offering fleeting glimpses of her white stilettos. Her long hair was swept back into an elegant chignon, with a few loose strands softening her already flawless jawline.

She exuded an effortless, indescribable sex appeal.

"Dr. Holt," Petty greeted, giving Wendy a slight nod.

Franco stared at her, his gaze intense and unfathomable.

"Ms. Petty," Wendy replied warmly.

"I found out today that you're the one handling Abacus's weekly check-ups. I should thank you again."

As she spoke, Franco lifted his striking eyes, keeping his focus solely on her.

Wendy smiled. "You've already thanked me. Besides, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary."

"It's obvious that Abacus adores you. It goes to show that Dr. Holt isn't just dedicated and responsible, but also has a wonderful personality."

Abacus had inherited his temperament from both her and Franco—probably a fifty-fifty split. Neither she nor Franco warmed up to people easily. Yet, when the medical team first arrived at Misty Vale, the very first person Abacus called out for was Wendy. His fondness for her was undeniable.
