After Mikayla’s name was mentioned, Jack’s already tired eyes appeared a tad dimmer.

If only I had agreed to go for the snowball fight with her, the outcome might have been different. After the avalanche, Jack searched through the area but could not locate her. “She’ll be fine.” Even though he told Elise that Mikayla would be fine, he didn’t know for sure. She’ll be fine.

“Don’t worry. I’m always here for you.” The familiarity of his voice brought tears to her eyes. No one knew the extent of the heartache and stress she had suffered in the past few days. “Are you feeling fine? Should I call the doctor? You’ve just woken up. Don’t move around. If you need anything, just let me know.” While speaking, she let go of

she reached out to touch her face. In the past few days, she had been so busy looking after him that she did not have the time to put on her disguise. If she turned on the lights, he would see her real face. I can’t let him see my face. She came to a decision right away. “I need to use the washroom. I’ll turn on the lights after that.” As she explained, she deftly sneaked into the washroom and locked the door

We’re only waiting for your return.” Alexander shot a puzzled look in her direction after hearing about Jamie. It sounds like she’s close to Jamie. “Alexander, are you listening?” Danny’s voice pulled him back to the conversation, and he said, “You’ve gone through a lot.
