Justin clenched his fists beside him, and Bella could feel the tension radiating off him.

Grant cleared his throat to explain himself, as if they were guilty of hiding something from him. "Don't overthink this. I just came across Ms. Thompson at the hospital entrance. I wasn't feeling well, and I asked her to help me upstairs."

Justin bent down and whispered into his ear, "You're my big brother. It's the least I can do."
