Chapter 80 I was scared and ashamed

When it seemed all had been said. Della entered the room. Lyle seemed to be ready to go, it wasn't fun speaking to a mute person. More exhausting when having to wait for them to write down all they wanted to say.

"Here's $20 go buy something for yourself in the canteen then you can come and say bye to your mom. If you want to seat in the car, you can come fetch the keys.." Della instructed Lyle like she would to Leo. Marcela was fuming.

"I don't wanna come back. I will just pass by the canteen then go eat in the car.." Lyle said seeming unbuffered by his mothers present. Della the handed Lyle the car keys.

"You remember where we parked right?" She questioned, out of concern because this was hospital and it could get confusing.

"I do... Uhm bye mom." Lyle said to Marcela who sadly nodded.

"Aren't you going to hug her Lyle?" Della pushed.

"Uh I'd rather not.. you know how the line gets in the canteen.." He immediately sped off.
