Chapter 54 –  Whose Fault

(Finn’s POV)

“Lexi… Kitty,” I said worriedly, laying her on the couch and ignoring Colonel as he continued to whimper on the side.

My hands trembled as I took my cell phone from my pocket and then pressed the emergency number, but when I heard Frank’s voice say hello, my forehead furrowed, staring at the screen to check if it was really Frank or sounded like him.

“Frank?” I raised my eyebrows, one corner of my mouth lifting.

“Yep!” He answered in his usual cheery tone whenever he got his chance to talk to Lexi, causing me to feel more guilty.

“Why are you answering the emergency line?” I asked curiously, checking the screen for a second before sandwiching the phone between my ears and shoulders to lift Lexi’s head, placing a throw pillow under her head.

“I’m your emergency line,” he chuckled. “You always call me when there’s an emergency. What’s your emergency this time?”

I swallowed hard, staring wide-eyed at Lexi, placing the back of my hand on her forehead to gauge her temperature.
