Chapter 504 Hiding the Truth Calvin’s gaze turned conflicted. He turned around after hearing Mallory
and pulled out his phone to make a call. No one answered. “He doesn’t answer?” “Mallory, Dexter is
dealing with an urgent matter. We mustn’t disturb him.” “Is Elisa’s situation not urgent?” Mallory looked
at him in disbelief. Calvin pondered and seemed conflicted. However, he chose to hide the truth. “You
said that her surgery was a success. That means she will be fine. We can afford to wait a little.”
“Calvin!” Mallory glared at him. “How could you say this? Don’t you know she nearly died?” “I know!”

mask surface whenever she breathed. She shook her head with difficulty. “You can tell me. How’s the
