Chapter 11 Having a Concussion
The rain made it hard for Dalton to see clearly, and before he could make out the license plate, the car drove away.
Lydia caught up with him, umbrella in hand. “Dalton, what’s wrong?”
He turned back to her, and she quickly held the umbrella over him, leaving herself exposed to the rain. In that moment, he saw a flash of Meryl’s old selflessness in her actions.
Meryl used to do such things, too.
Shaking his head, he thought, “Why am I thinking about Meryl? I don’t even love her.”
Seeing Lydia shivering, he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
“Do you think Meryl is really serious about calling off the engagement?” she asked quietly.
“Not a chance,” Dalton said, pulling her closer.
“Meryl’s just trying to get my attention. She can’t stay away from me for long.”
“But she seemed so angry tonight,” Lydia murmured, biting her lip. “Maybe you should call her and see where she went?”
Dalton shook his head dismissively. “There’s no need. She’ll come around and apologize.”
He had never been the one to call Meryl first.
In their relationship, she was always the one to reach out, no matter who was at fault.
She was the one who always apologized, and he was used to it.
The weather was ominous and dark.
Thunder and lightning filled the sky, making it seem like it was being torn apart.
Walter stood by the bedside of the unconscious woman and spoke softly, “Ms. Stone has a concussion. The doctor said. she might need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for
observation.”
Chandler’s jaw tightened as he kept his eyes on Meryl’s ankle.
Walter glanced at it briefly, then continued, “Her ankle was cut by porcelain shards. The treatment was delayed, so the scar might be permanent, but the bone is fine.”
