Chapter 145. We've Got This

“It’s you. Where are…I mean where is she?” Reyona asked anxiously as she tried to calm her breathing.

“Just down the hall,” Maxwell said with a keen look. “She is stable now, okay? The nurse is with her. I was going to get the boy something. He wouldn’t leave his sister.”

Reyona looked past him towards the hall and said “Oh, okay. Can I see her now?”

Maxwell saw the anxious look on her face and said “You know what? Why don’t you come with me to the cafeteria? The doctor should be done then.”

The disagreement was instant. “I don’t want to…”

“The doctor won’t let you see her yet. Would you rather stay here in the hall than come with me to get something for the boy? You can even help me to pick what he might like. I have no clue.”

Reyona finally noticed that his hands were still on her arms, so she stepped back from him and said “And why would I know that?”

She wanted to walk past him and then remembered she had no idea which way led to the cafeteria.
