Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 386

Aiden got it. He definitely wasn't feeling great about it, but there was no other way around it. He couldn't just pack up and leave home to search for his father for an explanation, right?

After a while, Sophia tidied herself up and came knocking on the door. As soon as she opened it, she was surprised to see Aiden and Alex all ready to go.

"Did Alex change his mind?"

"Yeah, I had a little chat with him, and he came around. He said he wanted to thank the lady as well."

Sophia nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it! That's my good grandchild. After we've met the lady, Grandma will buy you some candy. How does that sound?"

Alex didn't respond. He stood behind Aiden, not even sparing Sophia a glance.

Just as Sophia was about to probe further, Aiden cut her off. "We better get going before it gets dark. Alex is already feeling a bit under the weather; it will get colder at night. If his cold gets worse and he needs shots or medicine, no one will be able to convince him."

Sophia had no choice but to agree. "Alright, let's get there and back quickly."

…

When they arrived at the hospital, a few security guards from the Melendez family were already waiting at the entrance, ensuring their safety.

Aiden and Alex followed their grandma into the hospital and went straight to the VIP ward.

As soon as they pushed the door open, they saw Leah lying in bed, getting an IV, with the machine beeping beside her.

"Look who I brought with me?" Sophia led the two boys inside.

After hearing her voice, Leah tried her best to look her way. She was taken aback when her eyes met Alex's, then pretended to be excited and tried to sit up.
