I stood there in disbelief as Asher held onto me while Enzo talked to Jared’s dad, showing him proof of the money he transferred as soon as it was sent.My heart stammered in my chest, trying to make sense of it all.Not only had the guys shown up for me when I needed them, but Enzo was paying off my dad’s debt as if it were nothing.
Jared ended the phone call with a sharp warning from his father to get to his house immediately.We didn’t bother to say anything as he stormed off, not looking back.I let out a deep breath and stared at my guys.
“I can’t believe this is all really happening,” I whispered.“I...I...how?”
I shook my head, giving up on trying to get the answers out.
“We told you we would always take care of you, and we meant it,” Asher said softly, pulling me against his chest as he hugged me.
“You never have to worry about handling things by yourself.We’re a team, and we’ll tackle things together.”Enzo pressed a kiss to my cheek as Asher let go of me so I could hug Enzo.
“I have so many questions, but I need to get back to my dad and make sure he’s okay.”
“We can wait here,” Asher said, getting ready to take a seat.
“Maybe if I ask nicely, the nurse will let you guys in with me.I think she just didn’t like Jared.He wasn’t very nice to her.”
“We don’t want to push you to do anything you’re not ready for,” Enzo replied.“We can wait for you here.Just text us if you need anything, and we’ll take care of it.But for now, go check on your dad.We’ll be here.”
I nodded and knew that there was a ton we would have to talk about later, but for now, he was right.My focus needed to be on my dad and making sure he was okay.
Fifty-Nine
Enzo
The TV was on in thewaiting room, but neither of us was watching it.I had been as caught off guard as Asher when I saw Jared come out of Violet’s dad’s room, but I was thankful that the situation was over.I knew Violet would insist on trying to pay me back for what I spent to clear her dad’s debt, but I didn’t want her money.I was just happy that she wouldn’t have to see Jared again now that everything was resolved.
It was getting late in the afternoon, and neither of us had bothered to eat.When we got to Haven Brook, we’d gone straight to the hotel to get things situated there, then rushed over to the hospital after getting Violet’s text message.My stomach growled loudly, making Asher laugh as he looked at me with concern.
“I’m going to go see what I can find in the cafeteria.Do you want anything?”I asked.
“Sure.I’ll go with you,” Asher said as our phones vibrated with a new text message.
Violet: My dad is awake.
Violet: The doctor said that both of you can come in and that they’ll make an exception to allow the three of us.
