Chapter 175 : Visiting the Patient

Sara

My entire body felt tense and on edge. I didn’t like feeling so uncomfortable, but I didn’t know how to make things better. Jaxon still seemed to be lingering in his bitter feelings. I wasn’t sure how to handle things, and it only made me feel angry and defensive.

I grabbed my purse and my phone before heading down the stairs to meet Jaxon. He was waiting patiently and seemed under control, but I could still feel the harshness lingering in his vibe.

"Are you ready, my love?" he asked. His words were sweet but his tone was dry.

I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. He reached out an arm for me and I took it hesitantly. He guided me to the garage and I climbed into the car. I was silent as he drove toward the hospital.

Jaxon continued to talk to me, mumbling on about plans and what was happening with the Frankie brothers. Something in his voice sounded false, but I didn’t mention it. I didn’t want to talk about it. I just wanted to be done.
