Chapter 140: First Impressions
Rory kept the will back in its place. She decided to pay a visit to the hospital. She has to meet her grandmother too whether she likes it or not.
She readied Ellie after she woke up and as she was about to step out, she saw Derick entering. Frank was out and so was his truck and Rory was glad she doesn’t have to call for a cab. She didn’t think any cab driver would be willing to risk it all and come pick her up.
The reporters were relentless as they wanted a word from her. Even when the ambulance was here, the police had to clear the way for the family to pass through without being troubled by the reporters.
Even now, Rory saw a police car escorting Derick’s car. She figured Uncle Leroy must have called in for the favor. He has the power to do so, and he is not involved in the case. He cannot be heckled.
But she will be heckled.
"Where are you off to?" Derick asked getting out of the car. He even forgot to open the door for his lady. But maybe Julia never expects his gentlemanly act, she got out of the car herself.
"To the hospital," Rory said expecting a roaring refusal by Derick.
"Get in!" He said surprising Rory.
He even turned at the cops and asked for them to wait.
Rory said nothing and fixed the car seat for Ellie and strapped her in. If he offers, why would she refuse him?
Julia hugged Rory. "It’s good that you are visiting. She regained consciousness and she was looking for you."
Leroy patted Rory’s head and both of them walked inside the house. Rory watched them get in. Derick honked the horn and Rory got inside.
