Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461

There was silence on the line. Then she sighed. “Fine, but you netter be heading here tonight.”

“I am, I promise.” I sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Like a light switch, her anger was gone, and it was replaced by her worry.

“I have to call the King.” I felt the pit in my stomach open.

“Oh, sweetie.” I could feel her amusement through the phone, but she kept it in check. “It will be fine. You act like you are

walking to your execution.”

I rubbed my eyes and pinched my nose. “Because I am. Do you not remember the other night?”

“I do, and I think you are going to be perfectly fine.” She sighed. “I love you. Make the call. Go see Vince. Wrap up your work and

then come home.”

“Will do.” I sighed. “Love you.” Then I hung up the phone. I looked at my call log and grimaced. I saw Rick’s name and jumped at

the chance. I dialed him.

“Hey…is everything okay?” He sounded worried, but also out of breath.

“Yeah…are you okay?”

“Yeah.” He blew out a breath. “Got an alert. Someone is hacking into the system. So I’m getting my shoes on to head back to the

office.”

“Please daddy, stay.” I heard the soft cough from Abby and my heart clenched.

“I’ll do it.”

He scoffed. “You are in the hospital.”

I put the phone between my shoulder and my chin. “I’m done. They are bandaging me upright as we speak. I’ll handle the breech,

I’ll have enough time to get there.”

He was considering it. “Fine. When you are done, wrap up any open tickets you might have, and then forward me the rest. I

assume you are leaving tonight?”

I grinned. “Right after our dinner. But I have a few odds and ends to tie up around here first. How much time do you think I’ll

have before it’s critical?”

He paused for a few seconds. “An hour or two. But the faster you get there, the better.”

“Of course.” I pushed my laptop into my bag as a plan formed in my mind. “I have to run for a few things for dinner, and if I

handle work first, I won’t be able to get it all done.”
