Jasmine arrived at the hotel in 10 minutes and saw Ted with Taylor in his arms, waiting for her by the open-air car park. She smiled and parked her car before getting out.

"Mommy!" Taylor exclaimed
"Hey, sweetie!" Jasmine said, taking Taylor from Ted
"I'm happy to report that she's been fed and Barbie gave her a bath." Ted said

Jasmine nodded as she placed Taylor into the toddler car set and strapped her in for safety.

She stood up straight and turned to Ted and hugged him.

"Thanks." Jasmine said
"No problem. I'll call you tomorrow." Ted said

Jasmine nodded and said good-bye to Ted as she got into the car, headed for home.

The next day, after dropping Taylor off at pre-school, Jasmine sent her car for maintenance before heading to the café. At around 11am, Jasmine got a call on her iPhone.

"Hello?"
"Miss Jasmine? Hi there. This is Miss Aldrin. There's been an accident with Taylor. We're at the Honolulu City Hospital right now."
"What? Okay! I'm on my way!"

Jasmine ended the call without finding out what happened before she picked up her bag from her office chair as she ran out the door of her office.

"Alani! I need you to help me look after the café." Jasmine said
"What's wrong, boss lady?" Alani asked, worriedly
"Taylor's teacher called and said she's in the hospital." Jasmine said
"Go boss lady. We'll take care of the café." Maena said

Jasmine nodded and thanked her staff as she ran out the entrance of the café. With too much things on her mind, she didn't see if anyone was coming through the door and bumped into Cody; who was coming in.

"Whoa… Jas? Are you okay?" Cody asked
"Yeah… I-I need to get a cab." Jasmine replied, worriedly

Seeing Jasmine in a rather edgy mood, Cody said, "Come on, I'll take you. Where are you headed?"

"Honolulu City Hospital." Jasmine said

Cody wanted to ask her why she needed to go there but seeing Jasmine in such a distraught state, he kept it to himself. So, he said nothing as they both got into his rental car and headed to the hospital.

As soon as they arrived, Jasmine hopped out of the car and ran into the hospital while Cody went to park the car.

"Oh! Miss Jasmine! Over here!"

Jasmine looked over to the seats at the corner and spotted Miss Aldrin waving at her.

She hurriedly made her way over and said, "Miss Aldrin! How's Taylor? What the heck happened?"

"She's getting checked up. The doctor said she suffered an arm fracture when she got pushed off the swing during play time." Miss Aldrin said
"What? Who pushed her off the swing!" Jasmine said, her voice getting louder.
"A boy named Edward Miller. I'm so sorry, Miss Jasmine. I should have kept my eye on Edward when he started picking on Taylor." Miss Aldrin said
"Why did he push my daughter off the swing?" Jasmine said
"He told Taylor that she had no father so she wasn't entitled to play on the swing. When Taylor refused to move, he pushed her off. I am so sorry… It's all my fault." Miss Aldrin said

Jasmine looked at Miss Aldrin and sighed, "It's fine, Miss Aldrin… This isn't your fault."

"Edward's parents have been informed about the incident and they've promised to pay Taylor's hospital bills. They would also like to set up a meeting to personally apologize to you." Miss Aldrin said

Jasmine merely nodded just as the nurse came out, carrying a groggy looking Taylor. She handed Taylor back to Jasmine and Taylor hugged her mother tight.

"Mommy…" Taylor said, snuggling up to Jasmine, as she closed her eyes.
"How is she?" Jasmine asked the nurse
"She suffered a single fracture when she landed on her arm but it's nothing too serious. We gave her some mild anesthesia during the bone setting so she's a little sleepy now. But nothing a little bit of rest can't fix. Her arm is put into a cast and should come off in a month's time. We'll give you a call to remind you when the time comes. Till then, here's some mild painkillers if she needs them. Remember, Taylor's arm should avoid contact with water when bathing." The nurse replied

Jasmine nodded, taking in the instructions the nurse had given her. The nurse handed the painkiller to her before turning to Miss Aldrin.

"I believe you're the teacher who sent her in? Taylor will be unfit for school for at least a week. The doctor said she needs the week to give her bone time to heal." The nurse said
"I understand. I'll let the school know." Miss Aldrin said

The nurse nodded and left them to go back to work.

Miss Aldrin turned to Jasmine and said, "I should head back to the school. Don't worry, Miss Jasmine. Edward has been given due punishment. He will be suspended from all play activities in school for 2 weeks."

"Thank you, Miss Aldrin." Jasmine said

Miss Aldrin smiled and nodded at Jasmine before turning around to head to the exit.

"Mommy… Can we go home?" Taylor asked, her eyes closed
"Sure, sweetie. Go on and sleep. We'll be home soon." Jasmine replied

Taylor tightened her hold on Jasmine as she turned around to head to the hospital exit. But, she stopped in her tracks when she saw Cody standing just 2 steps behind her.

His jaw tightened as he said, "I'll send you two home."
