"Are you okay?" Ivy asked, her hand squeezing Silas's hand gently.

Silas squeezed her hand back, his heart softened. "Yes baby, I am"

He was far from okay but he couldn't trouble Ivy. His eyes moved to Uncle Mike, lying motionless on the hospital bed. The sight was terrifying, but that wasn't what unsettled him most. It was Thomas.

The way Thomas had left the room was alarming and Silas wished he could just crawl into Thomas's mind and know exactly what his brother was thinking.

Ivy rubbed his arms, and he smiled at her.

"Thank you for being here," he said, turning to look at her.

Her green eyes shone with love. "Anything for you, baby."

They chuckled softly before facing Uncle Mike again. The door opened and Thomas returned to the room.

"Hey, guys," he greeted, forcing a small smile.

But Silas could tell something was definitely wrong. His heart tightened at the thought, and even though he knew Thomas wouldn't say the complete truth, he asked anyways.

"What happened?"

As expected, Thomas said nothing.

"Is it the house? Or your staff?" Silas pestered, unwilling to let it go.

Thomas's eyes widened briefly, but he shook his head. "No, but I should definitely check up with the progress of my injured staff." With that he left the room again.

Pain squeezed Silas's heart and Ivy noticed.

"Give him time," she said softly. "He'll come around."

He nodded, pulling her into a side hug. Her presence made everything a thousand times better, and he was grateful.

"Let's go out, and hope Uncle Mike gets better," she suggested.

He took one quick glance at Uncle Mike before they left the room. In the corridor,

they returned to the seat they had left, their arms locking.

They sat in silence until Silas's phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and frowned when he saw the caller.

"What is it?" Ivy asked, her hand resting on his thighs.

"It's Aaliyah," he replied.

Pick it. Heard she came to my office today," Ivy said.

Though he was a bit curious, he answered. "Hey Aaliyah."

"Hey Silas, how are you?" Aaliyah's voice was calm, like normal.

"I'm good. What's up?"
