She dug through her purse and pulled out a torn piece of paper of a Laundromat sales slip with a name and number on it. "This is all I got. They plan on selling the Laundromat to this guy. They stopped the nurses from coming to see Nanna. I heard him talking to the doctor on the phone and he was lying to the doctor saying he had gotten a private service for Nanna's care instead of the doctor's appointed nurses."
"What was the doctor's name?"
"Rucker. Dr. Rucker."
"Do you know the hospital she was rushed to last time?"
"The one nearby. Henry Ford."
"Thanks Cleo. Go ahead and get the stuff for her."
Cleo started to go past him, but she stopped noting the concern expression on his face as he stared longingly at the bed. "I'm sorry I didn't trust you last night and even today."
"I'm sorry I didn't trust you."
"She's a good girl and don't deserve to be hurt. She's never done anything to anyone. If I'd known this was happening to her, I'd done more. Much more. Thank you for helping her." She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "You're a rare man, Mr. Black." When she was gone, he went to the bed.
Would Cleo still think like that when he broke Nicole's heart? All of his help wouldn't be for naught. That kind heart of hers would be useful in persuading her to give him her virgin heart. She would fall for him as soon as she opened her eyes and want to give her heart to him for his goodness. Cleo would tell her how he went out of his way to help her out and provide for her, and she would love him.
