No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 373



"Got the iced lattes, let's head in," Ernest announced, his arms full of groceries as he acknowledged my presence.

He didn't ask any questions, yet I had the feeling he had seen everything. But with my heart racing and my mind elsewhere, I wasn't in the mood for explanations. So, I followed him into the hospital room.

Susie greeted me with excitement, "Licia, the lattes are here! I've been waiting just for you."

Ernest had already made his way to the kitchen with the groceries. I glanced his way before approaching Susie.

"Licia, I've got everything ready, just waiting for you to divvy up the lattes," Susie said, arranging several cups on a small table.

I really wasn't in the mood for lattes right now. "Don't worry about it, you drink them."

"Really?" Susie's eyes sparkled before she laughed, "I don't have that much room."

Still, Susie divided the lattes, mumbling, "Licia, what took you so long? My brother was worried about you. He dropped off the groceries and went looking for you."

"Ran into a friend on the way," I offered as an explanation.
