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.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
Im getting disappointed not with the story but the update. Before its 10 chaps per day then down to 5 then 4 now its only 3....
