She pursed her lips “My father just collapsed”

“Oh my goodness” Thomas exclaimed, standing up too “Is be okay?”

“No, don’t worry,” she said, shaking her head. Til be fine. Il text you

“Alright. Let Victor drive you there,” Silas said “Tll have Bud come meet you”

She humedly found the exit and the car

“Victor take me to Eagleheart Medical Center” she instructed as she slid into the seat. She gave him the address, already feeling traumatized by the last incident

By the time they reached the hospital, Bud was already waiting by the entrance With Victor in the car, Ivy and Bud made their way inside

As Ivy approached the nurses‘ station, her heart pounded.

“Good day, nurse,” she said, addressing the blonde–haired woman behind the computer. “I’m here to see Patrick Scott. He was rushed in-”

“Room 309 the nurse interrupted

“Oh, thank you,” Ivy nodded, heading down the hall until she found the room

Outside, Geoffrey was seated on a metal chair. When he saw her, he shot up and ran to her.

“Ivy Geoffrey said, hugging her tight. He had to crouch slightly to rest his head on her shoulder

“Oh, Geo” Ivy whispered, rubbing his back in comfort.

Geoffrey rested in her arms for a long time, and when he finally pulled away, tears glistened in his eyes.

“How are you?” Ivy asked, pulling him gently to sit beside her.

“Sad. Scared,” Geo admitted, placing his hands on his knees. “I don’t know how long he was out for. I wanted to talk to him about something, and I found him unresponsive on his desk. Some employees helped to bring him here.”

Ivy could hear the shock in his voice and squeezed his hand softly. “What are the doctors saying?”

“Nothing” Geo sniffled. “None of them have come out since they went in.” He gestured towards the room.

Ivy pulled Geoffrey closer, wrapping her arm around his shoulder. Despite everything with her father, the thought of losing him made her stomach churn with fear,

Her grip on Geo tightened as she felt him shiver. He was trying to stay strong, but she could see how uneasy he was

“How have you been?” she asked, hoping to take his mind–and hers–off the situation

“Good,” Geo replied uninterestedly.

“How’s your gaming world?” she teased. If there was one thing Geo never stopped talking about, it was his games. “Any

new editions?”

“There are new editions almost every month,” Geo replied, his voice slightly brightened

Ivy chuckled. “And I bet you’re killing them.”

“Well, yeah. I finished all the levels on Warpath Zero, but I started a new one entirely. It’s called Reaper Protocol, and it’s it. I even started live–streaming as I play, he explain

Sis hands as he spoke.

Ivy had no idea what any of the games were, b. Successfully unlocked! Geo. You’ve always been a genius”

A proud smile colored his face. “I got into Bristol University.”

“What?” Ivy exclaimed, making him laugh. “No way, Geo! That’s amazing! She hugged him tightly. “When did you find out?”

Geoffrey’s smile suddenly faded, and he averted his eyes. “This afternoon. I was going to tell your Dad when he..”

“Oh!” by cheered. “That’s great news, Geo! You’re officially my little brother” She nudged him playfully

But Geoffrey wasn’t having it. He stood up and began pacing “I’m grateful he did that, but I still feel so empty” softly “Don’t get me wrong I appreciate your family for everything, but knowing that my parents are dead and I don’t have any fond memones of them. feels strange”

Ivy stood and reached for him. “I perfectly understand. There’s nothing like your real family” Her chest tightened at her own statement. Even if her family wasn’t perfect, she still missed them. “I get it.”

Geo sat back down, his eyes glinting with sadness. “Becoming a Scott felt great. I just didn’t expect it to make me miss what I never had ”

Ivy nodded, then a thought crossed her mind. “How about you find them?”

Geoffrey blinked “What?”

Geoffrey’s eyes widened. That would be great, lvy! I could know who my parents were and connect with my existing family! Thank you!” He hugged her.
