Chapter 1684

Judging by Bryan’s response, Ida was pretty sure she was on to something.

“Alright, I won’t call for the doctor.” She followed Bryan’s suggestion and made her way to his bedside. “We’ll spare the doctor the trouble. You want me to help you unwrap the bandages to check on the wound?”

Bryan’s expression stiffened. “Uh… Ida, I’m really fine. We don’t need to check.”
