You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1916: Heading in Different Directions

As Torrance left with Kiki, about five minutes later, Felix and Vicki returned to the ward. They had just been to the doctor's office to see the CT scan of Westbrook's brain. They found Joyce, Luther, and Anderson already in the ward.

"Hey, you're here. Why don't you sit down? The doctor said it's not a big problem. Westbrook will wake up soon. Kids recover quickly and won't have any aftereffects in the future," Vicki greeted them. "I'd like to stand for a while," Joyce said, reaching out to hold Vicki and looking her up and down. "Do you feel okay? Any unusual symptoms? Do you want to get a check-up while you're at it?" Vicki smirked, "I'm not that fragile. Do I look like there's something wrong with me? Constantly getting check-ups, I'm almost turning into something."

Felix, displeased, interjected, "Joyce, you really should talk some sense into her. She's never treated herself as a pregnant woman. She's been busy all this time. We've already been back once to take care of all the aftermath. Just an hour ago, we rushed back to the hospital, and she's off to the doctor's office to see the scans, now waiting for Westbrook to wake up."

Luther raised an eyebrow, "It's your luck that Vicki takes charge."

"I've been worried too, on tenterhooks all the time," Felix said helplessly.

"You can stop worrying, I don't need you to manage me," Vicki said, pushing Felix away. "If Westbrook doesn't wake up, you can go home and rest tonight, I'll stay at the hospital."

"You see, she's showing off again. Of course, I'll stay," Felix grumbled, "She never pays attention to her own health."

"Alright, you two, stop bickering. Let's get Carlo to come and watch over the night. I feel like Westbrook and Carlo have a close relationship," Joyce suggested. "Both of you, whoever it is, need good rest tonight."

Felix thought for a moment, "Alright. I'll make a call in a bit."
