Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 90

Julian’s eyebrows drew together. “Where?”

“Northgate Hospital.”

Miles lowered his voice, so Madeline only caught bits and pieces—something about a little boy with a fever who was at Northgate Hospital.

A sudden heaviness settled in Madeline’s chest. She wanted to ask what was going on, but before she could, Julian had already gotten to his feet. His cold gaze flicked over her. “I’ll come by tonight for my treatment.”

He left those words behind and walked straight out the door.

“Take your card with you.”

Julian didn’t even respond. Miles gave Madeline a look as he followed. “Ms. Monroe, you should just keep it.”

Julian never took back anything he’d given away.

Watching him rush off, Madeline felt her heart twist even tighter.

Oliver must have heard the door opening and closing, realized the guests were gone, and peeked his head out from his room.

“Mommy, are they gone?”

Madeline put her thoughts aside and turned to him. “Yeah, they’re gone.”

Oliver came out, finally looking relaxed. “Mommy, what’s wrong? You look upset.”

She shook her head, smoothing his hair and forcing a little smile. “It’s nothing. You’ve got school today, remember? I’ll take you soon.”

Oliver was sure she wasn’t telling him everything, but then again, he had his own secrets.

Last night, Casey had stopped Helene and her friends, but Casey told him not to mention it to Madeline, so she wouldn’t worry. Oliver kept that to himself.

After dropping Oliver off at school, Madeline hesitated, but her worry about that kid got the best of her. She decided to head to the hospital.

Meanwhile, over in the hospital room...

Helene was curled up, crying her eyes out. Lucy was awake now, lying in bed.

“Julian, that man last night was after me and your mother. He got us into this mess. We can’t just let it go.”

Julian’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at Miles, silently telling him to look into it.

Miles nodded and slipped out.

Julian looked at Helene and Lucy, silent for a moment before asking, “What were you doing on that road last night?”
