My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 14

why didn’t he come with you today to see me?” Adina mercilessly exposed Dew’s lies. Dew’s expression froze, but she quickly recovered and pretended that she still loved Adina as a sister. “Dad got so excited yesterday that his blood pressure spiked and he needed to go to the hospital this morning for a checkup.
