“What is it? What’s wrong with him!?” I rushed out, my heart aching while beating furiously in my chest.

Not a good combination.

My hands get clammy as I looked at Aiden in alarm. He must’ve noticed the tone of my voice and my panic stare because he turned to me with furrowed brows and a worried

gaze.

“I’ll call you back Sergio.” He said and cut the line. He’s sending me worried looks that asked for answers that I couldn’t give as yet. Not until I know what’s wrong myself.

“Ashton seems to have caught something. His nose is runny and he keeps calling for his mommy. Can you come to pick him up please?” The woman said on the other line worriedly.

My heart sinks.

Oh my poor baby.

“I’ll be there in a few. Please tell him I’m on my way,” I said quickly while brushing my trembling fingers in my hair.

“Will do Miss.Bell.” The woman promised and then end the call.

I didn’t even have time to place my phone down when Aiden asked in a rush. “What’s wrong? Is it Ashton?” His voice had a tone of worry and fear.

“He isn’t feeling well. Can you drop me off at the daycare?” I asked, gnawing on my lips. He was my boss after all and it would be wise to ask him permission.
