Chapter 49 Natural Disaster (2/2)
Emily hurriedly interrupted her thoughts and returned to her room. ”Bam”, she shut the door behind her.
Jack's eyes were filled with disappointment, to which Debby hurriedly said, ”This child is still at odds with you. Anyway, don't just stand there. You are wet all over. Go and get a hot bath.”
