“Listen,” I muttered without turning to face her, “I think it would be best if you switched to a doctor that could actually help you. I can’t give you any medication, and I think that might take the edge off whatever this is that’s going on.”8964 copyright protection201ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ix6IbfdEx 維尼
“I won’t feel safe,” Kendall said quietly. “Don’t you see? I’m never safe.”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BX0YcSVna
