Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 442

Catherine looked over at me with a mix of exhaustion and exasperation. "You got any more tricks up your sleeve to torment him?"

I couldn't help but smirk, relishing the thought of my little revenge. "Let's just say, I plan to hit him where it hurts. Looks like I'm due for a trip to Medsafe Liyah Inc."

Catherine slumped back against her pillows, a defeated look in her eyes. "If I were in any shape to, I'd go with you in a heartbeat."

I teased her, mustering my most serious tone. "You look fit as a fiddle to me!"

She squinted at me, confused. "What do you mean?"

"When you were gossiping, you were as lively as ever. Doesn't look like you're sick at all. If you're well, stop playing the patient and get back out there!"

"Aaliyah, seriously! I don't even know what to say to you!" Catherine huffed, her frustration clear as day.

Geneva, Janice, and Hannah all laughed. Raising from my seat, I said, "Carry on the gossip, you guys. I need to check with Dr. Dailey about my prescription."

Hannah quickly got up to join me, and together, we headed out.

Geneva called out from behind, "Are you coming back later? Should we wait for you?"

"Just leave after Logan gets here!" I dodged her question, not committing to a return, because I honestly wasn't sure myself.

After leaving Dr. Dailey's office, I glanced at the time and found myself in an awkward spot. It was too late to head to Medsafe Liyah Inc. and a tad early for dinner. So, Hannah and I walked back to Catherine's room, thinking maybe we could all grab a bite together.

As fate would have it, right as we passed through the hospital lobby, I ran into Zora, whom I hadn't seen in ages.

She did a double-take when she saw me but quickly regained her composure and strutted over.

Hannah couldn't resist a jab. "Look, isn't that the Dawsons’ lapdog? Shouldn't she be on a leash?"

I burst out laughing, unable to contain myself. "You're terrible!"
