Chapter 122. The Hospital

I winced at the flick to my ear, rubbing it lightly as I watched Hunter walk away with a smirk on his face. Some things never change, I thought to myself, shaking my head in amusement. 

I was impressed. That was one of the best and most civil exchanges we had ever had, we usually were always bickering and fighting. So that…that felt refreshing. 

With Hunter’s assistance and his unexpected offer to accompany me, I felt a bit more at ease about the impending confrontation with Meghan. Having him by my side might actually prove to be helpful, despite his tendency to be a nuisance. 

As I made my way downstairs so I could get on my way to meet Lucy, I met my father. He seemed busy and I think was on a Facetime call with someone. He only nodded my way before peeling away his focus from me. 

The whole situation with Meghan felt like it was a ticking time bomb, threatening to unravel everything I had worked so hard to build.
