Chapter 181

I went to see Lena, and luckily, she was home.

"What was with the late-night call? I was wiped after getting off the operating table and didn't call you back. Were you sick or something?" Lena asked, only just remembering the missed call as soon as she saw me.

I kicked off my shoes and wandered across the carpet. "If I was really sick, I'd probably be dead by now."

She wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "What's up? You mad?"

"Nah, I know you're busy. It was nothing, really," I said, deciding not to bring up Hayden being sick.

Lena wasn't buying it. "You don't call me in the middle of the night for nothing."

"It was about Hayden," I finally admitted. I didn't want her thinking it was something worse.

She handed me half of the watermelon juice she'd just made. "He's a catch. If you don't lock him down, you'll regret it for life."

My mind was still spinning from Jace. I took a sip of the juice. "Jace and I are officially done."

Lena scoffed. "Weren't you two done forever ago?"
