President's Substitute Wife

Simon, who didn’t want to interfere, couldn’t stand it.

He came and said, “Michelle, let them in.”

“You’re helping them. This woman...”

“Come on, don’t make trouble in the hospital. It’s disgraceful.” Simon was fretful.

I could see from his expression that he didn’t like Michelle.

Sean took me and I went in with them.

In the ward, James was in the only bed. He was intubated. His hands were being injected and there were countless medical devices next to him.
