Chapter 44: Hi Daddy

“Shanty, dear. What did you and Evan talk about? He is not telling me anything. Sometimes he smiled, and sometimes he returned to his gloomy self again. What went on with your conversation yesterday?” Clara asked while Shantelle was checking on Erick inside the ICU.

nurses to stop his sedatives, but he’ll need
