"Dominic, Nerida—come with me to the hospital!" Aurora said quickly. She hesitated, yes. She really didn't want anything more to do with Alexander. But he was her ex.
Seven years together. She couldn't just let him die like that.
He'd attempted suicide. Maybe she could at least see him one last time. If he was lucky, maybe he'd make it.
"What's going on?" Eleanor asked, confused.
"No time to explain. We're leaving now. We'll eat breakfast in the car," Aurora replied softly.
She grabbed a sandwich and a steamed egg and rushed toward the parking garage with Dominic and Nerida at her heels.
It was already 9:30 a.m., but traffic had eased after rush hour. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.
On the fourth floor, outside the ER, Kennedy and Mrs. Lewis were pacing anxiously. As soon as they saw Aurora approaching, Mrs. Lewis lunged at her.
Thankfully, Nerida stopped her in time.
