NovelApexChapter 1343:
“Relax,” Gifford said, spreading his hands while explaining. “She’s fine. | just gave her a mild sedative to make
her sleep.”
Eric's eyes blazed.
A sleeping pill? For a four-year-old?
But now wasn’t the tfor retribution. Holding Joy protectively, he clenched his jaw and turned away.
As Eric walked off with his daughter, Gifford’s gaze drifted to the severed finger on the table. A shiver ran down
