Careless (Enemies to Lovers 3) - Page 64

“I hope so,” I whisper.

My phone rings and when I see Carter’s name flashing on the screen, I answer.

“Hey.”

“How are you holding up?”

“I don’t know. I keep going from hopeful to scared out of my fucking mind.”

“We’re just about to land. We’ll be there soon.”

“Hurry,” I squeeze the word out.

Ending the call, my shoulders slump. I need my friends here.

The two people who mean the most to me in the world are in that operating room, and I’m scared that only one will walk out of there.

Ryan places a hand on my back, and that’s all it takes for me to start crying. The worry is too intense. I can’t breathe past it.

Chapter 14

JAXSON

Having Ryan sit with me is helping a lot. Ryan is married to Sebastian, and knowing that Sebastian is holding Marcus’ hand right this second, makes it feel like I’m there with them.

“Why couldn’t we see him before surgery?”

Hearing Mia’s voice makes my head snap up. Seconds later the whole crew comes barreling into the waiting room.

“That’s what Marcus wanted. You’ll see him when he’s out of surgery,” Logan patiently explains.

“Hey guys,” I say to everyone in general.

“How is he?” Rhett asks

“Is there any news?” Carter asks a second later.

Ryan holds up a hand to stop any further question.

“We’re still waiting. It’s too soon for any news.” He reaches a hand out to Carter. “Ryan Ward. I’m Sebastian’s husband.”

“Carter Hayes. Sorry, but who’s Sebastian?” he asks, as he shakes Ryan’s hand.

“He’s a nurse here. He’s currently with Marcus. He’ll let us know the second they have an update.”

“Thank you,” Carter says, as he takes a seat next to Ryan.

Mia sits down next to me and gives me a hug.

“How are you doing?” she whispers.

I shake my head and let out a breath.

Wrapping her arm around my waist, she rests her cheek against my arm.

I’m surprised when Della and Danny walk into the waiting room. I didn’t know they were coming.

Danny smiles as she walks straight to me. She wiggles her way onto my lap and gives me a big sloppy kiss.
