Chapter 104

• Manuel’s POV
• ​I was sitting comfortably behind my massive oak desk in my private clinic suite, reviewing medical charts and casually sipping an espresso, when the frosted glass doors were suddenly pushed open without a single courtesy knock.
• ​I looked up, expecting a panicked nurse, but my jaw nearly dropped off my face when I saw Vesper Harrisford striding into my office, carefully carrying a slender young girl in his arms like she was some priceless, fragile treasure.
