Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 103 Nearly Drank Himself To Death

You can’t get the cork back into the wine bottle once it came out, and the same concept applies to certain things in life.

After staring long and hard at my phone on the kitchen counter, I clenched my teeth and decided to give Dominic a call anyway.

My logic at the time was simple. If Dominic answers my call, it means he’s perfectly fine, and that nothing has happened to him!

I made the call, and it got through, but the person on the other line was not Dominic.

“Why are you calling him on his phone? I told you to come over to the hospital and see for yourself, didn’t I?”

I froze when I heard Benjamin’s voice again and even though I had called the wrong number.

“Why would I want to go visit him? For all I know, you two could be in cahoots and are simply trying to trick me into going there!”

Given what James had done in the past, it wasn’t exactly my fault for being a little paranoid.

“Us trying to trick you? I don’t have that much time and energy for such nonsense, Liliana! Anyway, I’ve said everything I should, so it’s up to you whether you choose to come over. I just hope you won’t make a decision you’ll come to regret later on!”

Benjamin hung up on me once again, and I placed my phone back down on the kitchen counter.

Damn it, Benjamin! Why do you keep hanging up on me without telling me what happened?

I then turned the tap back on and wet the dishcloth before scrubbing hard on the bowl.

“Damn it! Damn it all to h*ll!” I cursed in frustration and threw the dishcloth into the sink. I then grabbed my phone and ran out of the kitchen.

Nicholas and the others were having a conversation in the living room, but I couldn’t care less about that and interrupted them, “I need to head out for a bit, can you give me a lift?”

“Where to?” Nicholas asked.

“City Hospital.”
