Chapter 83

“Hazel’s at work,” Axel announced, walking into Ethan’s office.

Ethan looked up in surprise. He had initially told Hazel not to bother, to take the day off.

“There was an incident, one of the designs they were working on yesterday had an issue and came crashing down,” Axel explained.

Ethan frowned, absorbing Axel’s words, Concern etched across his face, he asked, “Is she okay? Was anyone hurt?”

Axel shook his head. “No one was hurt, but it’s a mess they need to sort out. I thought you should know.”

Ethan sighed, realizing the severity of the situation. The project was crucial, and any setback could have serious consequences. He had offered Hazel the day off, not anticipating such a turn of events. And that had to be why she had headed off to work.

“That would mean Liam would be at the hospital also, Daisy,” Ethan thought out loud with a smile. He could visit and spend time with the twins. One positive thing had come out from the disaster.

Axel sighed. “So we’re heading to the hospital, I guess?” He questioned, already knowing what Ethan’s answer would be.

“Yes,” Ethan affirmed.

Axel sighed. “I’ll take care of the renovations while you go play with kids,” Axel stated sourly.

Ethan ignored him completely. “You should have mentioned it earlier. Let’s go now,” Ethan said, standing up immediately to leave. The hospital visit seemed to brighten Ethan’s mood despite the challenges they were facing at work.
