The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 168

William shrugged off his coat, his movements a bit too carefree.

"What's up?"

Derek noticed his odd behavior, "Feeling under the weather?"

William shook his head, tossing his coat to the side and loosening his tie, "Nah, just a bit sore."

He'd just returned from the hospital after a matching test and still felt the sting.
