“Huh?” Rebecca looked puzzled on the outside, but deep down, she was a bit suspicious.

“Dad called me last night and said he made you mad,” Samuel said, tilting his head as he tried to remember. “Is that what made you upset?”

“No,” Rebecca replied, not wanting Samuel to know that Jeffrey didn’t care about his safety. That would be really hurtful for any kid. She wanted Samuel to grow up healthy and happy.

Samuel fixed his gaze on Jeffrey, refusing to let it go without getting an answer.

Jeffrey reached out and flicked Samuel’s forehead. “You really can’t stand to see me and your mom getting along, can you?”

“You must’ve pulled some sneaky trick to get Mom to come back, Samuel shot back, not buying that a simple trip could fix everything.

“If a scheme could bring her back, you think she’d ever get a chance to leave?” Jeffrey replied in a low, calm voice. “Hand me the suitcase and go wash up for dinner.”

Samuel couldn’t shake the feeling that something fishy was going on, but since Rebecca had already owned up to it, he figured this was one mystery he wasn’t going to crack on the spot.

During dinner, Rebecca was so composed. It was almost like she was on autopilot, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. On the outside, everything looked completely peaceful.

“Mom’s going to the hospital to see Grandma later,” Rebecca said to Samuel after they finished eating. “Do you want to stay home and read, or come with me?”

“I’ll come with you,” Samuel said, snuggling up to her.

Rebecca didn’t say no.

Just as Rebecca was about to mention it to Jeffrey, he spoke up. “I’ve already had Victor arrange the car. All the keys are still in their usual spots, so you can drive whenever you want.”

“Okay,” Rebecca answered, making sure not to show any attitude toward Jeffrey in front of Samuel.

“I’ve got some stuff to take care of this afternoon, so I won’t be able to go with you,” Jeffrey said, thinking about Richard, who still needed to be dealt with. “Just give me a call if you need anything”

“Okay,” Rebecca replied, her voice as flat as ever.

Half an hour later, Rebecca and Samuel headed out to the hospital.
