Lair couldn't wait till the close of work to pick up Amy, so they could both pay Jade a surprise visit. It felt like the day was going by slowly, and with each tock of the clock the more impatient he became.
When Amy told him about everything that happened with Jade and Cale, he was mad. All he wanted at that moment was to return home and personally deal with Cale. He couldn't believe Cale would do something that hurtful to Jade. He thought about calling her, but he had dismissed the idea because he knew he will be visiting home soon. The image of Jade crying made him uneasy.
Jade had been his best friend before he applied for medical school. He still hasn't forgotten that fateful day, when she had helped him talk his way out from a misunderstanding with some hoodlums who had tried hassling him. He had the impression that she was a fearless and intelligent girl and they became friends since then. They had bonded so well, that he had no room for other female friends.
