I shook my head, and she called out to me as I walked away.
“Jackson?”
I stopped and turned to face her.
“Thank you.”
I gave her a nod and headed out of the hospital.
CHAPTER22
Georgia
“You are such a handsome little man.” I hugged Henry tightly.
“Down. Down.” He wiggled out of my arms.
“Henry, go play with Rori.” Alex smiled.
“I can’t believe how much of a mini-Stefan he is,” I said. “I see it more and more every day.”
“I know. He’s going to be a real heartbreaker when he gets older.” Alex laughed.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Stefan grinned as he entered the kitchen. “I thought you and Jackson were going out today?”
“He had a patient he had to see.” I sighed.
“On a Sunday?”
“Unfortunately.” I smiled.
“How have you been feeling?” Stefan hooked his arm around me.
“Better. I think the medication is finally starting to kick in.”
“I’m happy to hear that.” He kissed my cheek.
My phone pinged with a text message. Grabbing it from the island, I saw it was from Jackson.
“I’m on my way home, babe.”
“Okay. I’ll see you soon.”
“That was Jackson. He’s on his way home. I’ll talk to you later.” I smiled as I stepped out the sliding door.
Somehow, I knew Jackson would want a double scotch when he got home, so I walked to the bar and poured him one. The front door opened, and the moment he stepped inside, I handed him the glass.
“You know me too well. Thank you.” He kissed me. “What a day.” He sighed before bringing the glass to his lips.
“Come sit down and tell me about it.” I grabbed his hand and led him to the couch.
“Aunt Barb is out of control. I’ve never seen her like this. Ian has a brain tumor embedded in his brainstem. It’s inoperable, yet she demands I find a way to do it. You should have heard her, Georgia.”
“We can talk about Aunt Barb later. You need to tell me about your Uncle Ian first.”
“The only thing I know is what he told me, which wasn’t much. He said that he was a lot of trouble back in the day. I’m guessing he was the family's black sheep, but I have no clue why. Get this. He never told Grayson and Gabriel about any of us or that he’s been sick.”
“What?” My brows furrowed. “His own sons don’t know what’s going on?”
