Chapter 40

While Renae was exploring the house, Jarrod and I were in my home office discussing what we were going to do when Jarrod asked me if Renae could stay with me until he felt safe enough to bring her home.

"You do realize I work at the hospital right?" I was slightly taken aback. He walked closer to me and had the same pout Rae used on me all the time. At least now I know where she got it from, it's far more effective on her though.

"Please, I know you don't have to work there and that you're only there so you can distract yourself. She'll be here so you'll be distracted anyways, I know you hate the hospital anyways." He dropped down to his knees while begging, holding his wallet in his hands.

"Okay, okay! Get up you old fool." I grabbed his arm and pulled him up. His desperation showing. "I'll call the hospital and inform them I won't be coming in until further notice." I crossed my arms and closed my eyes in frustration. This family knows my weakness all to well.
