Charlie needed to ease into seeing Ben as his father figure. That way, when the truth came out, it would be easier for him to accept. Yet, guilt still weighed heavily on Jamie.
“Today, when he asked me, I almost told him. I didn’t even think about how to explain later why his dad didn’t acknowledge him,” she said, her voice tinged with remorse.
Ben gently pulled her into his arms, letting her rest against him for comfort. “If anyone should feel guilty, it’s me, not you.”
Sure enough, Charlie grew even closer to Ben. What started as admiration for someone kind to him and his mom had shifted into complete trust and reliance, like a child with his father.
Jamie noticed the changes, too. Her relationship with Ben, often nudged by Charlie, became increasingly intimate. She felt a mix of unease and warmth but couldn’t find the words to address it.
Before she could make sense of her emotions, something happened. Her mom, Linda, was rushed to the hospital.
“How is she? Last night, she woke me up screaming my dad’s name. I don’t know what happened,” Jamie said, her eyes wide with panic and her voice trembling.
Wilfred glanced at her hands clutching his sleeve. “You might want to loosen your grip.”
She realized and quickly let go, murmuring an apology, but her anxiety was palpable.
“I really…” she began.
“The patient’s condition is stable for now,” Wilfred reassured her. “The episode you described sounds like she was triggered by something.”
Jamie was baffled. “But none of us would’ve done anything to upset her.”
Given Linda’s fragile state, everyone had been extra careful, except for Charlie. But he was just a kid. How could he possibly have triggered anything?
