“All right, the reporters are gone. We can head to the hospital now.”
Just as those words left his mouth, Lucinda came downstairs, dressed and ready. The whole family piled into the car together, off to visit Mr. Norwood.
Lydia barely looked up from her phone the entire ride.
On her screen, the Retirement Squad group chat was buzzing.
Charles: [Looks like little Lydia picked Kevin’s place after all.]
Carson: [Kevin, you sly dog. You already bought all the equipment?]
Kevin: [Haha, what can I say? Now I get to see little Lydia every day. Bet you’re all jealous.]
They pulled up at the hospital before long. Mr. Norwood sat up in bed, a nurse helping him with breakfast.
Lucinda rushed over first, perching at his bedside, her eyes full of concern. “Grandpa, how are you feeling today?”
After two days of rest, Mr. Norwood’s color had finally started coming back. Seeing Garrett and Lydia together by his side made him smile wider than he had in days.
He turned to Lucinda. “I’m alright. I’m feeling much better today.”
Then he looked at Garrett. “I heard you stopped by last night.”
Garrett grinned. “You were asleep when I got here, so I didn’t want to wake you. Grandpa, I went over your surgery records, both times. Dr. Hady gave me all the details. If you keep taking care of yourself, you’ll be even healthier than before. And honestly, that’s all thanks to Lydia.”
Lydia was still off to the side, tapping away on her phone, silent.
