“Wow, you'll be a dad soon, Hartwell. And your mom will be a grandma. Jealous! I don't even have a daughter-in-law!"

Hartwell cast a casual glance at the man in the bed.

“I'm pretty sure that you'll have one, if Wesley wants to."

Of course, Cecelia got his point. But changing Wesley's mind proved to be impossible.

“Have a seat, Joslyn. I'll wash some fruit for you." She changed the subject.

“Don't put yourself out. We won't be around long." Blair had told

Joslyn that Cecelia was very welcoming. And now Joslyn knew it was true.

“No trouble at all. Besides, I'm sure Wesley will be grateful for the company. I'll be right back." After saying that, Cecelia took some fruit from the fridge and went to the bathroom.

After she was out of sight, Wesley looked at Joslyn and asked, “Where is she?" Of course, he was referring to none other than Blair.

He sent her a message last night, asking, "You asleep now?" But he hadn't gotten a reply back.

The smile on Joslyn's face was replaced by a scornful look.

“Blair? I think she's holed up with a guy in some hotel. See? She's popular, huh?" Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

Wesley couldn't believe his ears.

Even her husband was stunned for a while. ‘We drove Blair home before we came here, ' he thought. Then he realized what Joslyn was doing.

So he pretended to sigh helplessly.

"She's really something else."

Joslyn sighed as well and said, “She's an adult now. It's her body, she can do what she wants. You guys don't take it seriously, anyway."

Both men were again at a loss for words.

Wesley was uncomfortable because of what Joslyn said. After the couple left, he urged his mom to leave. When he was alone, he called Talbot over and struggled to leave the ward.

He limped to the parking garage and eased into Talbot's car. After he was settled in the passenger seat, beads of sweat trickled down his face. His leg wasn't fully healed yet.

Talbot was confused.

"Chief, what happened? Why do you wanna Leave so bad?"

Wesley scrunched up his eyes, suffering from the intense pain. Instead of answering his question, he simply said, “Take me to the Eastern

Coastal Apartments."

“What? ALL right."
