The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 1225 Vera Regretted

Garrett noticed Vera’s nervous expression and knew that Kailee must be up to something behind the scenes.

Rubbing his temples, he said wearily, “The decision to change the hospital was mine alone. It had nothing to do with anyone else.”
