Chapter 108

HAZEL

PRESENT TIME

Ravel chose to bring Daisy to the park while I dropped by the hospital to see how Elenor was doing before meeting them. I’m relieved that Ravel has found a way to distract himself from the challenging circumstances he’s facing

It appears that there may be some tension in his relationship with Raymond, as I haven’t noticed Raymond spending time with Ravel recently. Whenever I’ve inquired about Raymond, Ravel’s responses have been vague and uncertain.

Roger, Ravel’s security detail, pulled over in the hospital parking lot, turned off the car’s engine, and followed closely as I entered the hospital premises. My decision to leave Robert, my security personnel, with Ravel was driven by my desire to have more familiar faces around Daisy, ensuring her comfort and safety.

Upon entering the hospital hallway, I instructed Roger to remain outside while I proceeded to enter Elenor’s room. However, just as I was about to step into the room, I noticed something unusual through the transparent gap in the door. June was standing by Elenor’s side, speaking to her in hushed tones. The tense posture of June’s body suggested that she was delivering a message of significant gravity.

I continued to observe the situation through the door’s opening, my concern mounting as I witnessed June’s hand inching

closer to the switch that controlled all the machines connected to Elenor.

It was at that pivotal moment when I realized I couldn’t merely stand by and observe. With a determined push, I swung the door open and strode into the room, my concern evident. “What on earth are you attempting to do?”

June jumped in startled response to the sudden intrusion, swiftly turning to face me. She stammered, “I, uh… I thought… it seemed like one of the machines wasn’t properly connected, so I wanted to make sure it was fixed correctly to prevent any accidents that could endanger her life.”

However, what I had witnessed didn’t appear to be an innocent attempt to fix anything. It seemed as if she had been tampering with the machines, almost as if she were trying to disconnect them. With a furrowed brow, I countered, “If you had noticed something like that, you should have immediately summoned the doctor or nurses rather than attempting to handle it on your own.”

She offered a nervous smile in response, saying, “I understand, I truly had no ill intentions.” However, my doubts lingered, casting a shadow of suspicion over her actions. Clearing her throat, June reached for her purse and continued, “Since you’re here now, I have an urgent matter to attend to.” Without waiting for my reply, she made a hasty exit, her hurried departure only deepening my uncertainty.
