Chapter 21

Evan's POV

"HELLO BIG BROTHER!" Two voices said in sync as they entered into my office and flop down on the leather couch in the corner.

I couldn't help but smile at the cheerful pair.

"What are you doing here?" I asked them, still looking into my computer.

"We're only stopping by to see you. And we're kidnapping you after work today. Dad's taking the family to dinner."

"Arrghh!" I groaned.

"Come on man." EJ protested.

A knock came on my door.

"Come in." I said firmly.

Jasmine walked into my office. Eyes red from her tears.

"Good afternoon." She said, looking over at Emily and EJ.

"Hi." EJ answered.

"Hello there." Emily said with a small wave of her hand.

"Mr. Hollen, the hospital called me in concern of my mother. I have to sign some papers, giving them the permission to pull..." She said but couldn't finish her sentence. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Shhhh." I said, already knowing what was coming.?
