Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 117

Hackett lay on the couch in Trevon’s ward all day with Frank. One was sleeping, and the other was playing mobile games. Trevon had a terrible headache, while Jim was forced to sit on the other couch as Hackett and Frank occupied all the space on the first couch.

Joy hurried to the hospital with the creamy potato soup she made. When she pushed open the door and found that her son was not in the ward, she was puzzled. She then walked to the front desk and asked, “Hello, do you know where the patient in this ward is?”

The nurse smiled and said politely. “Hello, miss. He’s in room 1314.” Hackett stayed in room 1313.

Joy thought, “It seems like he’s enjoying his stay at the hospital, to the extent he’s visiting his neighbors.”

Joy opened the door incredulously only to find the guys lying on the sofa. They did not look like patients at all. It looked like they were having a party instead

In reality, she liked these children very much, so she said with a smile. “Frank, I didn’t think you would be here too.”

Because Hackett knew the patient in room 1314, when Joy went to the ward next door, the nurse did not stop her.

Frank, who hadn’t fallen asleep yet, sat up and greeted politely, “Hello, Mrs. Blackwell.”

Joy turned around and saw Trevon lying on the hospital bed. She was visibly surprised, and she subconsciously raised her voice. “Trevon, why are you hospitalized too? What happened? Did you hit a tree too?”

Frank put a hand to his lips to hide a smile.

Trevon was a little embarrassed by Joy’s concern, but he didn’t know how to explain it to her. “Mrs. Blackwell, I accidentally got injured.”

Joy wanted to know more about how he got injured. She sat on the edge of the bed and started to ramble. “Where are you hurt? Hackett got a concussion.”

Trevon was at a loss for words.

Trevon could not withstand Joy’s continuous questions. He was not a talkative person to begin with, so he signaled Hackett with his eyes.

When Hackett received the signal, he put away his phone and said, “Mom, what delicious food did you bring me? I’m starving. Stop nagging. I want to eat now. If I starve to death, you can forget about having a grandchild for the rest of your life.” As he spoke, he pushed Joy out of the door.

Joy was still unwilling to leave. She muttered, “What’s wrong with you, child? I’m still chatting. Send some to Trevon later. Why don’t I see anyone from the Wilson family?”

As Hackett drank the creamy potato soup, he said, “Mr. Wilson didn’t notify them because he was at his family
