When Love Breaks by Jack

Gregory had always been Ramona’s little enabler, but this time, he had changed his tune and started persuading me with logic and reason. “Ramona’s all by herself in the hospital, and you’re out of your mind with worry. Besides, we’re not far from Elmwood Villas. If anything happens, we can get her to the hospital in no time, or have the home care team swing by.”

“Ramona, just give us a moment, okay?”

I pulled Gregory out of the hospital room, shut the door behind us, and frowned. “Do you really think Ramona’s ready to be discharged?”

He looked down, his voice low. “Are you upset?”

“Not at all.”

I explained, “I’m just not sure if you’re indulging her to keep her happy, or if it’s genuinely okay for her to leave.”

“It’s a bit of both.”

Gregory nodded slightly. “Dr. Andrews came by a couple of days ago for Ramona’s final treatment. Staying in the hospital now isn’t really helping. Mr. Abdul can continue her acupuncture sessions at home.” Hearing this, I realized he truly believed it was feasible, making me waver in my decision.
