Chapter 0247 Judys 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 .<\/p>\n
It was Eliza at the hospital .<\/p>\n
With a racing heart , I swiped the green talk button and pressed the phone to my cheek .<\/p>\n
Hello ? I said , trying not to sound as nervous as I felt .<\/p>\n
Hey , Judy .<\/p>\n
Its Elizabeth , she said on the other end .<\/p>\n
Im calling regards to Nan Rugby .<\/p>\n
Hi \u2026 I said , swallowing the lump in my throat .<\/p>\n
Is everything okay ? Yes , everything is great .<\/p>\n
She pulled through nicely .<\/p>\n
Shes awake now and is on antibiotics .<\/p>\n
She will be leaving tomorrow afternoon to return home .<\/p>\n
Will you be able to escort her ? Of course , I said quickly .<\/p>\n
Ill be there tomorrow .<\/p>\n
Thank you so much .<\/p>\n
Of course .<\/p>\n
Im glad I could help her , Eliza said thoughtfully .<\/p>\n
See you tomorrow .<\/p>\n
With that , she hung up .<\/p>\n
I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding .<\/p>\n
Everything okay ? I spun around when I heard a nearby voice , my heart hammering against my chest .<\/p>\n
My eyes grew wide when I saw Gavin walking towards me .<\/p>\n
I didnt even know he returned home and when his eyes found mine , a small smile tipped the corner of his lips .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
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 \u2026 this was the first time we were able to actually speak to one another , so maybe I was a fool .<\/p>\n
Yeah , I managed to squeak out as I shoved my phone into my pocket .<\/p>\n
It was just Elizabeth \u2026 Hows Nan doing ? He asked , stopping only an inch away from me.<\/p>\n
I heard she had food poisoning My cheeks flushed ; did he check up on Nans condition ? Or maybe Taylor had told him .<\/p>\n
I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded .<\/p>\n
Yeah , she did .<\/p>\n
But Eliza said shes going to be fine .<\/p>\n
She made it out of surgery and shes awake .<\/p>\n
Shes resting now and should be ready to come home tomorrow .<\/p>\n
He nodded thoughtfully You should have her stay with you at the mansion , he suggested , surprising me .<\/p>\n
She lives alone , right ? Maybe it would help her to be close to someone in case she needs something .<\/p>\n
I thought about it for a minute ; I wasnt sure if Nan would even want to stay at the mansion with Chester being there .<\/p>\n
He was the reason she was driven to drink in the first place .<\/p>\n
I didnt want to tell Gavin that information though because it wasnt my story to tell and plus , I didnt want to get Chester in trouble .<\/p>\n
So , I pressed my lips together and nodded .<\/p>\n
Ill ask her , I told him .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0247 He gave me a small nod , his eyes never leaving mine .<\/p>\n
After a heartbeat of silence , Gavin cleared his throat and shifted in his shoes, almost looking uncomfortable and a little boyish .<\/p>\n
It was oddly cute and I had to bite my lower lip to keep from smiling up at him .<\/p>\n
So , Ive been thinking and- He started to say , but he was interrupted by another presence nearby .<\/p>\n
Daddy ! We both turned to see Irene walking towards us .<\/p>\n
I had to stifle a groan ; I should have known she wouldnt be far behind .<\/p>\n
If Gavin was talking to me , Irene was bound to interrupt .<\/p>\n
Thats all she seemed to do lately .<\/p>\n
She was determined to make it so I got zero alone time with her father \u2026 and it was working .<\/p>\n
My chest tightened at the sight of her ; I expected her to look at me with smugness like she normally does , but when I saw her red face and puffy eyes , my heart dropped .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Something was seriously wrong this time ; she didnt look comfortable , and she didnt look pleased that she was biterrupting us .<\/p>\n
She had her arms wrapped around her body like she was trying to hold herself together and a tear slipped out of one of her eyes .<\/p>\n
She quickly wiped it away with her fingers and sniffled , her eyes shifting downward .<\/p>\n
