She Knew Something Was Off
Later that afternoon, after leaving Jasper, the doctor called Jocelyn. Like she did every day, she was already planning to see Jasper, but when she got the call, she realized something wasn’t right. When she heard what they had to say, she was overcome with grief, but perhaps things wouldn’t be as bad as they seemed.

Discontinuing The Treatments
Jocelyn had been informed by the doctor that they required her consent in order to discontinue the current course of treatment. Nothing was helping Jasper, he said, and nothing was working. They needed her consent to halt everything because she was his primary caregiver. She wasn’t quite certain she could agree completely, though.
