Chapter 102

I was flicking through useless cable channels when a nurse came in. "Mrs. Laurent, there's a man outside who wants to see you." I sat up. "Did he give a name?" "A Rhys Granger." I sat back down. "I'm not receiving visitors." "Noted." She came back a minute later. "He says he has urgent business and refuses to leave." "Call security." "Got it, Mrs. Laurent." Two hours later, my phone lit up with Louisa Granger's name. I almost didn't answer. I should've followed that instinct. She launched right in before I even said hello. Once I heard enough to get the gist, I cut her off. "Aunt Louisa, it wasn't me. I didn't take those photos. And I certainly didn't leak the news." "I know, I trust you, it's just that... Rhys says you were the only one he ran into at the hospital." I borrowed Ashton's line. "It's a public place. Plenty of people come and go. And Rhys and Catherine were talking in a hallway. I saw them. So did the nurse. So did at least two dozen other people walking by at the time."
