Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 263

Garrett had a bunch of things left to do, but he just nodded. “No problem. Saving lives is what doctors do. I’ll see you later.”

“Yeah, see you.”

As soon as they stepped out of the operating room, a crowd gathered around them. Garrett slipped away, pulled out his phone, and called his mom back.

She picked up almost immediately, her voice full of worry. “Where have you been, you brat? Why didn’t you answer your phone? Are you trying to make me worry myself sick?”

Garrett tried to calm her down. “I’m here now, aren’t I? Relax. Something came up at the last minute, but it’s sorted out. I’m heading back now.”

“You could have at least let me know! You said your flight would land at three thirty and now it’s seven!”

“Alright, alright, I just got out of surgery. I’m coming home now. Let’s talk when I get there.”

He was about to hang up when she called out, “Wait.”

He grinned. “Yes, Mother? Anything else?”

She couldn’t help but laugh at his teasing. “Did you remember to get a present for your sister like I told you?”

Garrett raised an eyebrow, even though she couldn’t see him. “And if I didn’t?”

She huffed. “If you didn’t, you might as well not bother coming home!”

Garrett laughed. “I got it, I got it. I’m on my way.”

“Good. Come to the hospital first to visit your grandfather, and then we’ll all go home to see your sister together.”
