The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 92

Roman frowned. “Are you sure about that?”

“I’m sure. There’s no way I could be wrong,” Reese replied, nodding with certainty.

Roman glanced at the two traffic cops. “Looks like we’ll have to hand this case over.”

He turned back to Reese. “Take care of yourself, alright? If you need anything, just call me.”

Once Roman and the officers left, the hospital room fell quiet again.

Reese leaned back against the headboard, but she couldn’t relax. Worry for Mr. Ratcliff kept swirling in her chest.
