บท 242: Chapter 242: Having His Say

The processional music began, and Jessi breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was finally in place and the wedding would be starting on time. She watched as the mothers were seated, then she sent the twin flower girls down the aisle.

She was just about to signal to the first bridesmaid when she heard his voice.

“Jessi. I need to talk to you.”

Whirling around, she saw Judd, still pale but looking better than he had that night in the hospital. He seemed out of breath, and he leaned heavily on a cane.

“Judd, I—“

“Do I go now?” the bridesmaid whispered loudly.

Jessi nodded. “Yes, yes, go now.”

She turned back to Judd. Alex was standing beside him, and Jessi frowned, confused. “Alex? Judd, I’m busy right now.”

The door opened behind Alex and Judd. Sarah came bustling in. “I’ve got this, Jessi. You go talk to Judd.” She hustled over to the second bridesmaid and nodded to her. “Go, hon. Next?”

Jessi took a step toward Judd.
