Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 13

"I'd rather die than have this chance!"

It has been said that men in the upper classes regard women as a plaything.

I hate that, and I hate the idea of women as playthings. I feel that Harrison is regarding me as a joke.

After a long period of silence, Harrison speaks again, "What I said last time still counts."

"What?" I look at him angrily. He said so much last time, how do I know which one he meant?

He smiles. "Call me if you need my help."

Another time, another person, I might have had a different answer, but right now I just want to get away from him.

Before I get out of the car, I say, "We are now even. I hope we will not meet again."

After that, I close the car door and walk to my home. I feel exceptionally relaxed.

My house is in total darkness. I can't help but wonder. My mother used to watch TV in the living room when I was away. Why did she go to bed so early today?

I go into the bedroom but find no one. She's not at home! Panic fills my heart and I try to call her, but her cell phone rings in the living room.

When I'm gonna call the police, my phone rings. The number doesn't come up with a name, but I know who it belongs to. It's Callen, my ex-husband.

"What's up?" I get straight to the point.

Callen thinks for a moment and says, "Your mother is in the operating room. Come here now."

I don't remember how I rushed to the hospital.

I stand at the door of the closed operating room, and the light inside is on all the time...

Callen and Maisy are both sitting in the chairs. Callen wants to say something several times, but he stops and stands in front of me.

I ignore him and turn my head to the other side.

A nurse tells me to pay the bill. I realize I was in such a hurry to get out of the house that I didn't bring my bag.

"Leave it to me, " Callen speaks when I'm at a loss.

He takes the bill. I open my mouth and then close it. At this time, I can't say no to him. I can't go home and get the money when my mother's in surgery.
