Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 38

Tom was leaning against the car door, and when he saw me approaching, he straightened his back slowly.

"I found something interesting yesterday and couldn't wait to share it with you. Get in."

"But I still need to go to work..."

He didn't seem surprised. "Give me the address, and I'll take you there."

I also had things to ask him, so I didn't refuse. I gave him the address and got in the car.

The car drove along the highway toward the city.

In the golden autumn of October, the sky was blue with white clouds, the morning air was cool, and the sunlight warmed the body, making it feel cozy.

"I can tell you have something you want to ask," Tom said, glancing at me with a half-smile while driving. "Go ahead. What's on your mind?"

I couldn't help but admire his ability to read people—he was definitely a top-notch professional at it.

I quickly told him about how Gavin originally agreed to go to the courthouse with me for the divorce but changed his mind midway.

Finally, I asked, "Tom, why did you suddenly ask Gavin to get a medical check-up?"

He glanced at me, his dark, calm eyes filled with an inscrutable depth.

Just as I was about to look deeper, he shifted his gaze away, his voice still casual as always. "At that time, I saw his dark under-eye circles and casually suggested he get checked. I didn't expect him to actually go."

I was speechless.

That was the reason?
