Falling for You

Chapter 13

Mo and Jac rushed to Ollie and placed him into the recovery position as he continued to fit. Hearing the commotion Guy Self, who was moping through the corridors waiting to see Zosia, rushed over.

"Stand back, Jac stand back." Guy ordered.
"Who do you think you are? This is my ward and my staff, you don't get to stick your nose in." She replied angrily,
"He is my patient." Jac immediately stood back. "What?"
"Look, take Zosia away now, get her away from here." His daughter retaliated and tried to resist as she was pulled away Mo.

At that point Ollie had been transferred to a nearby free bed,
"Right, can we sedate him please, prep him for surgery."
"Guy, tell me what is going on right now." Jac demanded.

"Grade 4 tumour, cancer. Imagine my surprise when his case landed on my desk. My daughter's boyfriend, and he didn't think to tell anyone. Now A fit like this, the tumour is most likely stopping blood supply, I need to remove what I can now, his operation was scheduled for next week, but he can't wait that long! I just don't know if his heart will make it through." Guy declared.

Jac was in shock, Ollie had seemed fine, he was loved up and prancing round the ward only minutes earlier.
"I will break it to Zosia then, whilst you'll in theatre." Guy nodded.

The pair were being civil for the first time in their lives. This was different,Ollie, wasn't just a patient, and Guy knew If Zosia lost Ollie, he would lose Zosia. He was doing this for his daughter. For Jac, it was a friend, who just turned out to have cancer. Just like that.

Jac found Mo and Zosia in the staff room, Zosia was demanding for Mo to let her go but at the sight of Jac she immediately calmed down.

"Jac you better tell me what on earth is happening or I will shout this hospital down." She said sternly.
"Zosia, just sit down." Zosia didn't.
"Dr March, will you just sit down." Jac's tone startled Zosia and the F2 sat down.

"Ollie is in surgery, he got a grade 4 tumour, your dad is operating now."

Zosia began to sob,
"He's been fine though, I would have seen the signs."
"Maybe he hid them from you, he probably didn't want to hurt you."
"Hurt me? I couldn't care if he hurt me or not, this is his life were talking about. The man I love and he didn't think to tell me."

The young doctor hung her head.

"Zosia it will okay." Mo tried to rub her shoulder.
"No it won't because what if he dies on that table?" She cried.
"You don't need to think like that." Mo said calmly.
"Yes I do because this isn't just about Ollie and me now."

The puzzles looks from Mo and Jac prompted her to continue.

"I've got a baby to worry about too now." Zosia cried.
