Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 219

I’ll try my best to save her. As long as you get me the ingredients I need, I can save her life.”Jordan’s voice was shaky. “Of course.”He almost forgot that Elspeth was an apprentice to Sonny, the medical expert.Letting go of Elspeth, Jordan took a few steps forward as he tried to help Angie back on her feet.
