CHAPTER 25: Questions

  "I can take you." Gabriel held his hand out to me. "We'll go see him right away. I won't let your stepmother win, Daisy. We'll fight for your father and your inheritance."

  "No, thank you. Avery, please escort me to the hospital." I turned to Avery and ignored Gabriel, although I could feel his eyes boring into me.

  I was glad he was back, but I couldn’t help feeling angry at him for leaving me alone when I needed him by my side.

  "Of course." Avery nodded and took my hand, leading me out the back door and towards the car.

  "You’re just going to leave like that?" Gabriel thundered after me.

  His sudden outburst surprised me, but I didn't turn back. I couldn't bear to face him at that moment, not when my emotions were still raw, and my heart ached with hurt and anger.
