"Sir, your wife seems fine now, but I recommend staying with her until she's stable before she leaves," he advised.

These jumbled thoughts only made Colton more irritated.
"Colton, I know I'm to blame, but our child is innocent," Melany said, hoping to avoid being kicked out of the Stevens family.
