I Went to the Hospital to Care for My Son After He Broke His Leg – Then the Nurse Slipped Me a Note, ‘He’s Lying. Check the Camera at 3 a.m.’
“But Dad, I don’t want to lie to Mom.”
My heart broke right then and there.
“I told everyone I fell.”
“We have to, okay?” Jasper’s voice took on a sharp, impatient edge. “Your mom can’t know I wasn’t there. She’ll flip out, and you know how she gets.”
I felt a surge of rage. Jasper wasn’t there? Then where was he?
“But why?” Howard asked. “You just went to the store, and Kelly was there…”
The woman, Kelly, shifted uncomfortably. “Your mom isn’t supposed to know about me yet, remember? We talked about this, Howard.”
