My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

She smiled. “You arrived faster than I expected.” She picked at

Jason moved to the opposite side of the hospital bed to engage the physician directly.

Lina returned to the room and handed Grace a small cup of water. “One second you were in the ER, the next you were gone. Sorry, Grace. It took me a minute to devise where they’d moved you to.”

“I’m fine,” Grace said easily. She sipped the water.

“Doctor, how is she?” Lina asked. “Is my friend all right? She was knocked down several steps by someone on the

escalator.”
