Hey all,
Once again your reviews, follows and favourites are truly amazing : )
Ethan walked back to small resus, Cal didn't really know about Bonnie and Ethan doesn't intend to mention it now. Matilda is more important and keeping her safe.
"How's she doing?" Ethan asked as he walked in watching Cal cradling Matilda.
"She's been asleep since you left. How's your patient?" Cal asked, Ethan hesitated.
"Erm, yeah she's fine...just a fractured leg." Ethan spoke softly as he sat on the bed, looking at a sleeping Matilda.
"You okay?" Cal asked his brother. Ethan continued to stare at Matilda.
"Yes I'm fine. She's just so precious." Ethan finally answered, stroking Matilda's cheek. Cal wasn't convinced.
"You know you can talk to me. I know we haven't seen eye to eye in the past." Cal tried to get the problem out of Ethan.
"It's not important, it can wait till we get Matilda home." Ethan lied. It was very important. A murderer Ethan got involved with was next door! When she mentioned Ethan's niece; his heart stopped for a second. He felt Matilda's life could be in danger. Ethan really hopes he is exaggerating but he can't help but worry, he needed to tell Cal but something was stopping him. What was stopping him?
"Ethan?" Cal snapped Ethan out of his thoughts. "What's going on? Something is really bothering you and it's not Matilda being ill. I can tell." Ethan knew he had to tell him now so Ethan started from top...
"Oh my God." Cal whispered. He was speechless. Ethan just nodded to Cal's reaction. "So that's why you came home in that ugly coat and hat?" Ethan once again nodded. "What are we going to?" Cal asked as he hugged Matilda tightly.
"Keep an eye on Matilda and I'll keep an eye on Bonnie." Ethan spoke as he got up and left small resus. He walked back into resus and looked at bay 3, which was empty. Ethan began to panic.
"Robyn. Where's 'Carol'? X-Ray?" Ethan asked still looking around.
"Dr Keogh discharged her. Didn't he tell you?" Robyn asked confused.
"Without the X-Ray? What happened to the X-Ray?" Ethan got slightly agitated.
"Dr Keogh didn't think it was necessary." Robyn frowned. Ethan sighed in frustration. "Are you okay Ethan? You seem...on edge?"
"I'm fine. She's dangerous, I know she is." Ethan worried.
"Ethan, you're stressed. Your niece is ill. You should be with her and Cal." Robyn had a point. Ethan exhaled hard then left resus.
Ethan went back into small resus to see Cal sleeping on the bed with Matilda. Ethan smiled pulled up a chair, sat on it and rested his arms and head on it. Closing his eyes.
This isn't the ending, I have loads of other ideas. it was meant to be to be longer but I need to go visit my Nan. I'll hopefully upload the next chapter tonight or definitely tomorrow. See you then : )
