“Is the guy okay?” She chewed her bottom lip.
“He’ll be fine once he heals.” The corners of my mouth curved upward.
“How is your Aunt Barb? She was there. What about Shaun?”
“They’re both fine. I need you to relax. I’ll be right back, and then I’m taking you home.”
“Dr. Kind,” Carly ran in. “There’s a trauma coming in. ETA is ten minutes.
“Shit.” I shook my head.
“Grayson, I’ll be fine. Go.”
“I’ll take her home,” Shaun said as he walked into the room.
“Are you sure, Shaun?”
“Yes. I’ll stay with her until you get home. Go save some lives. Be a hero like Kate was today.” He smiled.
“Thanks, cousin.” I hugged him.
I walked over to Ava and kissed her lips. “I want you to go home and get into bed. You need to rest. I’ll be home as soon as I can. I love you so much, babe.”
“I will, and I love you so much too.”

“I’m sorry, Ava,” Shaun said as he helped me in the car.
“Don’t be. People are crazy. What happened?” I asked.
“His company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I offered him a way out. He refused, so I took it to his board of directors, and they voted him out. Upon further investigation, they discovered that he’d been stealing from the company for years. The board members reported it, and all his bank accounts and assets were frozen.”
“I’m sorry about Barb,” I said as he drove me home.
“That was not your fault.”
“But she could have been—”
“But she wasn’t.” He reached over and grabbed my hand. “If Kate wouldn’t have done what she did, he would have killed us all.”
He pulled into my driveway, and Jenni flew out of their house and ran over to us. After hugging Shaun, she began to pound on his chest.
“You asshole. You could have been killed.”
“Babe, stop. I’m fine.” He grabbed her wrists and then pulled her into him.
She looked at me, broke their embrace, and walked over and hugged me.
“Come on. Let’s get you inside. You need to change into some comfy clothes. I’ll make a cup of tea.” She hooked her arm around me.
“Babe, is Laura with the twins?”
“Of course, she’s with the twins, Shaun. But they were screaming when I left. You better go check on them.”
Jenni sat on the edge of the bed while I changed into a pair of baggy sweatpants and a tank top.
