As Davis wheeled back into the lounge area, he glanced around, expecting to see Bella still chatting away beside Jessica. But to his surprise, the seat next to Jessica was empty. And the bottle of water in her hand was almost emptied.
Noticing him rolling into the lounge, Jessica looked up and smiled briefly. "Bella had to leave," she said gently, standing to her feet. "She got called into surgery. An emergency case."
Davis nodded in understanding. "Typical Bella. Always running where she's needed."
Jessica chuckled softly, then reached for the wheelchair. "Shall we go see Grandpa now?"
"Of course," Davis replied with an affirmative nod. His heart beating wildly at the thought, he had previously blamed him for not stopping Desmond's attitude of taking over his fiancée for his son, but with so many events that had taken place within this period, he felt grateful.
