Chapter 556:
Daxton'’s voice was as cold as always. He was polite, yet there was no hint of the affection one would expect
from a mother and son.
Mila’s anxiety grew, and her voice becmore insistent. Daxton’s tone grew colder. “Just focus on being Mrs.
Garcia.”
“It’s better if you stay out of other things. Worrying too much will just age you faster.”
Mila’s voice trembled with a mix of fear and hurt. “Daxton, | am your mother.”

But there were limits to how much disappointment one could bear.
After stime, the maid carefully wheeled Carrie toward the bathroom to help her bathe. Kristopher didn’t

A group of doctors had been waiting for stime. As he walked in, they stood and greeted him. “Mr. Norris.”
