Chapter 226
I wondered, “Kill herself? So, is that their family’s talent passed down through generations?”
I wasn’t sure what drove me, but I asked, “Do you need me to come with you?”
Maybe I wanted to see if it was true.
Or maybe I was worried. God forbid something happened, and Bryant had no one else he could trust.
Bryant looked at me, surprised. “Would you?”
“Let’s go.” I grabbed my bag, and we headed to the hospital.
When we arrived, Teresa was still in the emergency room, with Margaret and Albert waiting outside.
The scene felt almost comical to me. But, given the seriousness of the moment, laughing seemed inappropriate. So, I forced myself to think of all the sad things I’d ever experienced to suppress my amusement.
Bryant, Margaret, Albert, and Teresa were behind the ER doors. If you were to map out their relationships, it’d look more tangled than at spider’s web.
Suddenly, Margaret stormed over and shoved me, ‘Jane, what’s so funny? My mom’s in there fighting for her life, and you’re here to gawk?”
Yes, I tried not to laugh but failed to hold it. I was half a step behind Bryant, so he didn’t see.
Immediately, he stepped before me, his demeanor icy, “Have you lost your mind? I asked Jane to come.”
