Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 656

The ER entrance was crowded with worried faces, but one stood out the most.

"Auntie!" Ike ran up and clung to my legs, his eyes wide with concern. "I saw the bad guys take you. I was so scared."

"But Uncle Jake was awesome! He saved you, but he got hurt."

His voice trembled, revealing a vulnerability I hadn't anticipated. It hit me then, the gravity of the situation and the role I played in it.

"You should be in bed, kiddo," I tried to lighten the mood.

Edith, always the voice of reason, explained on his behalf, "He tried, but he was too worried about you. He woke up and insisted on coming here."

I ruffled Ike's hair affectionately, "You're such a brave boy."

Christine gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze, signaling her intent to step away. "I'll make a few calls for work."

"At this hour? Is something going on at the office?" I asked, concerned.

She waved it off, "Nothing I can't handle. Don't you worry about that."

Christine made me promise to call her if I needed anything before she moved off to a quieter spot.
