Jocelyn stared at the name Willow’ on the screen, her heart aching with every beat

Never in her wildest dreams had Jocelyn imagined that she would be using the phone of the man she loved to call the person she envied and despised. The bitter irony was that Jocelyn would call her to look after the man she cherished deeply.

Suddenly, the man in the hospital bed jerked upright, ripping the IV from the back of his hand. He staggered to his feet and lunged for the phone in Jocelyn’s grasp.

“It’s none of your concern even if I die!” Melvin glared at her, his eyes red with anger. “You’d probably prefer it that way. Once I’m gone, you can live happily ever after with him.”

Jocelyn’s brow furrowed. That’s a separate issue”

To me, it’s the same thing.” Melvin scoffed. Go be devoted to him. I don’t need your pretense.”

The nurse, catching the tense exchange, interrupted, “Whatever is going on, could you just appease him for now? He still has a fever. Leaving the hospital is suicide.
