Jason POV 💋
I wanted Kate's surgery done at the best hospital in the country. So after Dr. Grey signed the release papers, I had Kate airlifted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Her family and I accompanied her in the air ambulance. Cheryl and Nathan decided to drive to LA instead of flying.
Soon after our arrival at the hospital, the doctors prepped Kate for surgery and wheeled her inside the Operating Theatre. Dr. Parker, who was a world-renowned neurologist, informed us that the surgery would take only an hour.
While we waited in a private waiting room, a hospital staff came in and served us gourmet tea and a wide selection of finger sandwiches. I glanced at Kate's mum, Alice, who was sitting across from me. Paige was by her side, wringing her hands nervously.
I cleared my throat. "You both must be hungry." I gestured towards the plates on the low glass table in front of us. "Please eat." Paige gave me a small smile and reached for a sandwich while Alice took a tea cup and moved to sit next to me.
She held the cup to me. Even though I didn't drink tea, I took it from her. I got the feeling she wanted to talk to me and for a moment I was afraid she was going to ask me about what really happened for Kate to be abducted. I still hadn't told her the whole story.
"I have a lot to thank you for." She started. "What you're doing for Kate means a lot."
I suddenly felt uncomfortable. "You don't have to thank me. I'd do anything for her."
"I know you would." She said softly. "She is very lucky to have someone who loves her as much as you do."
I went very still. How did she know that I was in love with Kate?
For the first time that day, Alice smiled. "It's written all over your face."
It was a very rare thing for me to find myself at a loss for words but in that moment, I didn't know what to say. Fortunately, right then, Nathan and Cheryl walked in saving me from having to continue the conversation.

The next hour dragged by slowly. We didn't make much conversation between us and I was glad for that. The huge plasma screen mounted on the wall was tuned to a news channel and the only sound in the room was the voice of the newscaster.
I was trying so hard to distract myself by watching the news but all I could think about was Kate. The fact that she had been pregnant and lost the baby was too much for me to deal with at the moment. The deep gut-wrenching pain I was feeling inside was unlike anything I'd ever felt before.
Dragging a hand through my hair, I glanced at my Rolex for the hundredth time. There was still forty-five minutes to go until the surgery was done. With a frustrated sigh, I propped my elbows on my knees and pressed the heel of my hand against my eyes. There was a dull ache right behind my eyes that kept intensifying by the minute. I suddenly felt suffocated and wanted to get out of there.
Cheryl, who was sitting beside me, shot me a concerned look when I suddenly stood up. "Just need some air." I explained.
"Want me to go with you?" Nathan asked, already rising from his seat.
I shook my head. "I won't be long." Stepping out in the hallway, I headed to a set of double doors with an exit sign hanging above. The door opened into an expansive garden with pebbled pathways and wooden benches scattered here and there. The setting sun casted a soft golden glow across the surrounding trees and shrubbery.
