"I'll take you there now."
With that, Dr. Barry bid farewell to the OBGYN and led me straight to his office.
He retrieved a simple pendant from his desk drawer. It was a lovely and intricately-carved jade pendant.
He handed it to me and said, "The nurse found it under your mother's pillow."
"I must've been too distracted when I was cleaning up. Thank you for keeping it for me."
I gently caressed the pendant. It was a little lamb carving. I...had never seen this pendant.
I walked out of the hospital, puzzled. Chilliness rained down on me. Oh, it was raining.
I didn't bring an umbrella, so I turned to go back to the hospital lobby when my phone rang.
It was Aidan.
I answered the call.
"How's the checkup?" He asked in greeting.
I licked my dry lips. "Just done. Everything's fine."
