Chapter 201 - Room 412 (1) (2/2)

”Yes, mam!”, head of security responded and ended the call.

...

At Franciscan Medical Center, JoAnna is in a very good mood. She just found out that Dr. Light will be out of country for next ten days. He will perform a surgery in France and then attend seminar in Poland. This means that for next ten days she can focus on her work, and not worry about avoiding him.

Jeff was brought to the FMC and placed in a single occupant room. After the initial checkup, his diagnosis was that he collapsed due to exhaustion and dehydration. They hooked him up to an IV, and he needed to rest. The hospital staff found his wallet, so they know his name and address. They looked up his phone number and called, no one answered because he lives alone. Jeff didn't have any emergency contact information listed there, so they didn't notify anyone.

When Jeff woke up, it was late in the night. He planned to be back in LA by then, but seeing that he is in the hospital, he decided to use this as an opportunity to sleep. In the morning he will make necessary arrangements at work after he talks with the doctor in charge of his care.

In the morning Jeff was woken up by his cell phone ringing. His personal assistant, Steve, was calling him, since they had scheduled to meet before his meetings. Jeff told him that he is still in Seattle, and that he will not be back that day.

Not long after that, his secretary called. She expected him to be back to office and he didn't show up for his first morning meeting. Jeff explained to her that he is not able to be there and to clear his schedule for the day without giving too much details.

Soon after that, Dr. came for morning rounds. He told Jeff that he is not in a critical condition, and that he can check himself out at any time, but as a doctor, he highly recommends him to stay at least two more days. He is exhausted and dehydrated. Jeff listened what Dr. said and decided to think about it.

At that time, JoAnna was at the nurse station, chatting with a nurse called Jill.

Jill checked her phone and looked at JoAnna with big puppy eyes. ”Hey, Jo, can you do me a huuuuge favor?”

”What is it?”, JoAnna rolled her eyes.

Jill smiled at JoAnna and looked at her pleadingly. ”Two patients need their IV checked... and my fiancé is downstairs...”

”You want me to accompany your fiancé while you check the IVs?”, JoAnna teased.

Jill shoot her a mean look, and then quickly went back to puppy eyes. ”Come on... pleaaseeee?”

JoAnna sighed. ”Fine... what are room numbers?”

Jill grinned. ”407 and 412. Thank you a million. I love you. You are the best.”, Jill said as she rushed to the elevator.
