As expected, half an hour later, Sallie arrived at the hospital.

Sheila took her leave.

The moment Sallie saw Timothy, still unconscious, hooked up to an IV and receiving a blood transfusion, her heart nearly broke. His neck was bandaged, and the sight of him like this made her furious and terrified all at once. Without a moment's hesitation, she went to find a doctor and demanded an explanation.

Rage flared in Sallie's chest.

Who else could have done this but Jessica? No one else would get that close- anyone else, and Timothy would've tossed them out on their ear.

Fuming, Sallie dialed Jessica's number.

No answer.

She called Mabel next. Mabel said Jessica had gone out.

That only made Sallie angrier. She sent people out to search for Jessica everywhere.
