Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 247

Chapter 0247

Judy’s POV

My phone rang, interrupting my sparring lessons with Matt

1 grabbed my phone out of my gym bag that sat under a tree When I looked at the caller ID, my heart was in my throat. It was Eliza at the hospital.

With a racing heart, I swiped the green talk button and pressed the phone to my cheek.

“Hello?” I said, trying not to sound as nervous as I felt.

“Hey, Judy. It’s Elizabeth,” she said on the other end. “I’m calling regards to Nan Rugby.‘

“Hi…” I said, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Is everything okay?”

“Yes, everything is great. She pulled through nicely. She’s awake now and is on antibiotics. She will be leaving tomorrow afternoon to return home. Will you be able to escort her?”

“Of course,” I said quickly. “I’ll be there tomorrow. Thank you so much.”

“Of course. I’m glad I could help her,” Eliza said thoughtfully. “See you tomorrow.”

With that, she hung up. I let out a breath I hadn’t known I was holding.

“Everything okay?”

I spun around when I heard a nearby voice, my heart hammering against my chest. My eyes grew wide when I saw Gavin walking towards me. I didn’t even know he returned home and when his eyes found mine, a small smile tipped the corner of his lips. I could see concern in his eyes as he studied my face, but for the most part, he kind of looked pleased to see me. Was I being ridiculous to think for a minute that maybe he was pleased to see me? Maybe this was more than what I initially thought it was?

I mean, we had barely seen each other in days… this was the first time we were able to actually speak to one another, so maybe I was a fool.

“Yeah,” I managed to squeak out as I shoved my phone into my pocket. “It was just Elizabeth…”

“How’s Nan doing?” He asked, stopping only an inch away from me. “I heard she had food poisoning”

My cheeks flushed; did he check up on Nan’s condition? Or maybe Taylor had told him. I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded.
