Chapter 34: Two Choices
However, Michelle slowed down at the next intersection... His body stiffened uneasily.
"Can’t we go to another hospital?" he asked—voice low, yet laced with quiet insistence.
"Why? What’s wrong with LifePoint?" Augustus asked, confusion tightening his brow as his eyes flicked toward Michelle with a mix of skepticism and concern.
"...Nothing," Michelle replied quietly, then turned the car back onto the main route.
A few minutes later, they arrive at the LifePoint hospital entrance.
"You guys go in. I’ve got some business to attend to," Michelle said, eyes still fixed forward, avoiding theirs.
He’s been acting weird ever since we left the club... I should ask him about it. And there was something about his sister too... Augustus thought.
"Come on, Michelle. I can’t carry him alone." Augustus said, attempting to coax him in.
But seeing Augustus’s determination, he sighed. "Alright. I’ll leave after just taking him inside."
"Haha, thank you, Michelle. I knew I could count on you."
They walked into the hospital, supporting David on their shoulders. Augustus kept glancing sideways—Michelle’s eyes were darting around, scanning as if searching for someone.
