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.’
I didn’t want to start a fight.
“Honey, you should go home,” Jasper said suddenly. “You have work in the morning. I’ll stay the night.”
“I’m fine. I’ll nap in the chair. I want to be here when he wakes up.”
The nurse glanced at me, then at Jasper, and finally at Howard. As Jasper reached out to adjust the boy’s blanket, Howard flinched.
It was a tiny movement, almost imperceptible, but the nurse saw it. I saw her expression shift from professional neutrality to something like concern.
