CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ONCE AGAIN LAWSON found himself pacing in yet another room. This time, though, it was at the Wrangler’s Creek Hospital, where he’d had the taxi drop him off.

Lawson hadn’t had his truck in Austin because he’d ridden up there with Eve, and he hadn’t wanted to wait for someone from the ranch to send a vehicle. Since he couldn’t teleport, the taxi had been his best option to meet Dylan’s come right now request. Judging from the bits and pieces he’d learned, Dylan’s urgency was spot-on since his mom was still being worked on by the doctors.

Exactly what she was being worked on for, Lawson didn’t know. But there’d better be some answers soon.

At least Lawson wasn’t alone. His sister, Lily Rose, was pacing right along with him and nibbling her bottom lip. Dylan had apparently paced himself out because he was seated, his legs stretched out in front of him, his head resting on the back of the chair. To a casual observer, it might look as if Dylan was about to nod off, but Lawson knew his brother was just as concerned as Lily Rose and he were.

None of them were especially close to Regina. Hard to be close to someone who was never around. But blood was blood.

That thought stopped him for a couple of steps. Yes, blood was indeed blood, and that’s why he was torn between being here and being with Tessie. The difference was that Regina would want him to be there. And she knew that Lawson was her son. To Tessie, he was practically a stranger. One who had tattled on her for drinking. He was betting that was going to cause a rift between them for a long time to come.

A rift on Tessie’s part, anyway.

No way was Lawson going to let her shut him out of her life. Especially since Eve had shut him out all these years.

“Why aren’t they telling us anything?” his sister snapped. “And where the heck is Lucian? He should be here by now.”

Lawson didn’t have an answer for either question, but yeah, Lucian should have made it from his office in San Antonio by now. They’d let their other brother, Reed, know, as well. Or rather they’d tried, but Reed was a cop on an undercover assignment. His handler, boss or whatever the heck his job title was had told Dylan that he would try to get a message to Reed.

His phone buzzed again, something it’d been doing for the past half hour since he’d arrived at the hospital. His cousins and some of the hands had texted to find out if there was anything they could do. And Eve had sent a text, too, to give him an update about Tessie and ask about his mom. Neither Lawson nor she had had good news. Eve hadn’t been able to see Tessie and was on her way back home, and Lawson still had no word on why his mom had collapsed while Dylan and she were at the diner having coffee.
