hapter 0228 Judys POV I took another sip of my wine , feeling it relax my mind and body .

I kept glancing at my phone periodically , thinking there would be a missed call or anew message .

We are only having some fun ….

scratching each others itches and putting on a show to get some people off our backs .

Yet , my chest tightened every time I glanced at my phone .

I took a deep breath and put my phone on the table , unable to look at it any further .

I glanced at Nans lightly sipped wine and frowned when I glanced over my shoulder at the entryway to the kitchen .

I wondered where she was .

I knew she was going to find out what Chester was cooking , but she had been gone for some time now .

I figured I should go check on her .

I hoped she didnt get lost on the way to the kitchen .

I took another sip of the wine before placing it on the table and standing to my feet .

I brushed my pants , straightening them with the palms of my hands before I started towards the kitchen .

I smiled as I made my way towards her , but slowly started to subside when I saw how tense she was .

Her entire body was like a stiff board .

Frowning , I walked towards her .

Nan , are you okay ? I asked .

I paused when I reached her , and I could see over her shoulder that she was staring at Chester and Harper .

Harper was seated on the kitchen counter , her legs wrapped around Chesters waist and her arms around his neck .

But then the red in his cheeks immediately went away and his face turned a ghostly shade of white when 1/2 Chapter 0220 he looked at Nan .

His eyes grew wide , and I could see the horror in them .

Nan took a step back , her body trembling slightly .

My frown deepened even more as looked at my best friend ; I realized she was pale as well .

I looked at Chester who was completely frozen in his place , neither of them saying a single word .

Nan ? I asked her , tugging at her arm and trying to get her attention .

A … are you okay ? Chester ? Harper asked, trying to touch him with her foot , but he stepped further away from her as if he couldnt stand her touch .

Nan let out a shaky breath and then she finally tore her eyes away from Chester to look at me .

My brows furrowed when I saw the tears in her pretty blue eyes ; my chest tightened .

She looked gutted … something was wrong with my best friend , and I needed to know what it was .
