"I was at the shipyard when I got a call from my father," Alexander replied, his voice calm. "He told me you'd been in an accident and were rushed to Clayton University Hospital." He glanced down at his clothes, still dusty and stained from working on machinery.
Rain stared at him in disbelief. "You rushed to me without even changing first?"
"It was an emergency, so I moved fast," he answered matter-of-factly. Then, with a sideways glance at her, he asked, "Wouldn't you do the same if it were me?"
Rain's expression softened. "Of course, I would! I'd rush to you as fast as I could," she replied, her voice sincere. She found herself wondering if there was something more behind his actions, but she quickly shook the thought away.
Rain's forehead creased in thought as she murmured, "But how did Father-in-law find out about it?"
Alexander shrugged slightly, his gaze still on the road. "I'm not sure either. You can ask him about it later," he replied.
