He indicated the end of the corridor, suggesting that Serenity and Chelsea speak there. He would be able to see them from the ward door, but he wouldn’t be able to hear their conversation.
Serenity complied with his request and walked to the end of the corridor, prompting Chelsea to follow her.
When Serenity reached the end, she turned to Chelsea and asked coldly, “What do you want to talk to me about, Chelsea?”
“Is your sister feeling better?” Chelsea inquired. “We’re worried about her injury, so we visit every day. You might find it annoying, but we genuinely care. Oh, and what about Sonny? Would you like us to look after him for now?”
“Well, you need to focus on your sister. It will be overwhelming if you have to manage Sonny too, especially with your store’s business to handle. I’m not working right now, and Lucas has started preschool, so I have time to help you. Sonny is my nephew as well, and I love him just as much.”
Serenity declined the offer. “We have plenty of people who can care for a child, so you don’t need to worry, Chelsea. My sister is doing well and should be able to come home to recover in a week. Thank you for your concern.”
Chelsea had initially offered to look after Sonny to break the ice, fully aware that the Hunt sisters would never allow the Brown family to have custody of him again.
It was all that wicked woman Jessica’s fault. Sonny had nearly been harmed, and Liberty had been injured because of her.
Chelsea’s brother was equally useless.
Sonny was still so young—couldn’t he have carried him away?
He couldn’t even protect Sonny, yet he still wanted to bring him back to live with the Browns.
What frustrated Chelsea the most was Hank’s constant running around for Jessica’s issues after she had caused so much trouble.
He was taken away by the police. He considered begging the Hunt sisters numerous times, hoping Liberty would forgive Jessica. This would lead to a more lenient sentence for Jessica. Fortunately, Chelsea’s parents supported her and had been preventing Hank from pleading with Liberty, both directly and indirectly. Despite Chelsea’s foolishness, she understood that if Hank were to ask Liberty for forgiveness on Jessica’s behalf, it would make it difficult for the Browns to meet Sonny in the future.
