Chapter 81 Navigating

Kristina used to be a nurse. She might even help me with the medication. How convenient.

I quickly kissed her. "I'm not leaving. I'm staying here forever, okay?"

She smiled again. "That's what you said."

She got up and said, "I'll go next door to get the bed ready for you."

Seeing the faint smile on her face, I suddenly felt like I might have fallen into her trap. But since things had come this far, I might as well just go along with it.

"Kristina, I'm going to call the caregiver and tell them I won't be back tonight."

Kristina nodded, and I went to the balcony to call Mary.

The phone rang for more than twenty seconds before she answered.

"Hello, William. I'm at a dinner party with Edward and some leaders. So I might not be back early tonight."

Her voice was hushed, and I could faintly hear Edward and others talking in the background.
