Love Like This

Chapter 92

Her throat was dry and he knew this. There was a cold pitcher of water next to the bed and he filled it for her in a glass, and then handed it to her. "You've been sleep for a couple of days. You had a fever the first night, but it went away. Dr. Desmond said you'll feel like shit, but he gave you a shot of antibiotics. The nurse will be able to take care of any other concerns when she comes."

She nodded but there was still a lot of questions in her eyes.

Lightly, he kissed her cheek. "Cleo's coming over when she gets off at one. I told her it was alright although I didn't know you'd be awake then. Get some rest." He pointed to a bell on the table next to her. "If you need anything, just ring. There was a small infection in your throat which is why it feels like you swallowed a million nails."

Again she nodded and smiled softly.

He started to leave the bed, but she took his hand to hold him there. Leaning over, she kissed his cheek and whispered, "Thank you."

It was his turn to blush. When he got up this time, she let him as she lay down. She was asleep before he returned to his chair. He moved it closer to the bed while he waited for the nurse to come.
