Before Lily could release Hayden, Hazel tugged at her arm and pulled Hayden away from her.

Hazel's heart broke when she saw how thin he'd become.

"Hayden, it's all your sister's fault for not getting you out of prison sooner! You've lost so much weight. Come on, let's go home. I'll cook something nice for you," Hazel exclaimed.

"Alright, alright! Don't start nagging now. It's freezing out here. Let's just get Hayden in the car first," Bobby quickly interjected.

Hayden seemed to be lost in a daze. He just allowed them to pull him along.
