I have to focus on myself. From now on, I’m going to love myself properly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three days of rest, Walker Grant’s condition had improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound had scabbed over and no longer interfered with his daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Monday.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed gathered all the necessary documents and stood in the living room, waiting for him to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a black shirt, his short hair neatly styled.
