CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO

I grabbed my head as Aly raced to the hospital. My hair was already half-way out of my scalp because I thought Aly wasn’t driving fast enough.

My heart was beating too fast. I couldn’t hear anything. Not what Aly was saying or the sounds from the road and angry drivers.

My mind was spinning with too many possibilities.

I heard my name being called in the distance and I ignored it until I was shaken out of my stupor.

“We’re here.” I nodded, unable to speak.

“Let’s go.” I ran behind her. I hated hospitals, so much. I’d almost lost Jared here and I was back again because I was about to lose him.

I shook my head. ‘No, no, no. No negative thoughts.’

“Lee, it’s here.” She pulled my arm when she saw that I’d stopped in the middle of the walkway.

I walked into the room and the smell of hospital disinfectant had my stomach roiling in pain.

“Is he…” I walked towards him and he seemed to be asleep.

“Let me get one of the doctors.” I didn’t answer her and stopped at the side of his bed.
