Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 810

"Jude?" Hudson frowned. "Where are you rushing off to with your luggage?"

Jude paused momentarily when he saw them. "My grandfather just had a sudden heart attack. He was rushed to the hospital. I need to get back immediately."

The smile dropped from Nora's face. "A heart attack? Is it serious?"

"I don't know yet." Jude's voice was tight and strained. "The call didn't give many details, just that it was sudden and he's in the emergency room right now. I have to go."

Hudson didn't waste time asking questions. "I'll go with you."

Jude looked surprised. "You don't have to—"

Before he could finish, Hudson clapped a heavy hand on his shoulder. "Let's go. Get in the car."

Jude didn't argue. He threw his bag in and slid into the backseat.

As he was buckling up, he heard Hudson giving orders.

"Arthur, get the flight crew ready. Wheels up as soon as possible."

"Yes, Boss."

...

Two SUVs tore down the highway.

By the time they arrived at the airport, the flight path had already been cleared.

The private jet climbed smoothly into the sky. As the city below shrank into insignificance and they broke through the thick white clouds, Hudson finally turned to Jude.

"What exactly happened? Your grandfather has always been in excellent health. Why the sudden heart attack?"

Jude shook his head, looking exhausted. "I don't know. They didn't explain much over the phone, just that he collapsed and was rushed to the ER."

Hudson nodded and didn't press the issue further.

Sitting beside him, Nora twisted the hem of her shirt anxiously.
