#Chapter 88: A Stolen Moment

Lucian’s POV “Harold will pull through,” Dr. A said. Jasper, Mom, and I released a collective breath. “Is he awake? Can I see him?” Julia asked. “Yes.” Dr. A motioned for Cathy, who stepped forward. “Follow Cathy and she will take you to him.” “Thank you, Dr. A. Thank you so much.” Mom, with tears in her eyes, turned and quickly hurried to follow Cathy. Jasper moved to follow, but then stopped, looking quickly between Dr. A and me. “Go on,” I told him. “I will follow after I speak with Dr. A.” Frustratingly, Jasper still lingered as his gaze slid to Dr. A. She gave him a look, a tiny little thing that started and was over in a second. Like he had been given some kind of message, Jasper nodded, and hurried to follow Mom and Cathy. How strange. I didn’t know Jasper and Dr. A even were familiar with each other, let alone that they were close enough to trade glances and be understood. The knowledge now didn’t sit right with me, though I couldn’t understand fully why.
