"Ruth, Toby," Jay said as he ran up to them. "What's happened? Have we got an emergency?" Ruth asked as she looked at him. "Yes," Jay said looking at her, "but thats not all." Ruth looked at him. "Well tell me in there," Ruth said seriously, "God we need to treat the patient by seeing him." Jay looked at her as Ruth and Toby ran in recuss.
"Who have we got?" Ruth asked as she walked up to them over him. "This is Mr Winters," Jay said gently. Ruth looked at Jay as Jay nodded. "What seems to be the problem," Ruth said coldly towards them. "Its his liver," Maggie said looking at her worriedly, "Ruth maybe you should go to the family room with Toby." Ruth looked at her. "No its OK, no surprises there," Ruth said under her breath. "Ruth..." her dad whispered to her. "Its Dr Winter's, we are just going to do some tests OK," Ruth said as she walked out the room, as Jay followed her worriedly.
"Jay, its fine," Ruth said coldly as she got on the phone. "Ruth its alright you don't have to pretend to me," Jay said seriously as he stood behind her. "I am not pretending Jay," Ruth said seriously, "he is nothing to me." He sighed as he walked back into resus. "Alright Ruth, if you see Jay, can you give him this fifty quid," Lenny said as he handed it to her. "Won't you see him before me," Ruth said coldly, "he is your mate." Lenny smiled. "But you two are going out, this is the bet money, he said he could bed you in a week and he did." With that Lenny walked off chuckling to himself.
Ruth walked back into resus clearly upset and angry. "Ruth..." he said as he took her hand gently. Ruth sat next to him and held his hand gently and shook her head at him. "You deserve this," Ruth said seriously as she looked at him, "I hate you, don't you think I don't." Ruth sighed at him. "I looked after you, I cooked for you, I cleaned for you, I left college for you, and how do you repay me dad, you break into a bank and nearly kill people, for money, for booze, not for me and not for Toby," Ruth said angrily. "I'm sorry love," he said as he looked at her. "Sorry's they do nothing, there just words, they don't mean anything, I've learnt that the hard way, you just say them, you can say to someone you like them, you love them, but it don't mean anything," Ruth said angrily. "Ruth... I was devastated after your mother left," he whispered to her gently.
"And we weren't, we were kids," Ruth shouted at him, "you were a grown man, we didn't understand what happened? Did you explain it to us? Nah you just sat on your fat arse and drank beer all day, didn't care that I needed things for school, or Toby needed a new recorder, I had to walk to school by myself on my first day, I was five years old." He looked at her worriedly. "I see you now, and I see a stranger," Ruth said sighing at him, "I don't care what happens to you, you bought it on yourself." With that she stood up and took his heart rate. "Ruth," Jay said gently, "why don't you go and get yourself a coffee?" Ruth stared daggers at him.
Suddenly his machines started to beep as Toby walked in. "Dad," Toby said as he ran to him with Maggie, Ruth and Nick. "10 compressions please," Maggie said as Nick started to do them. "Jay, take Ruth and Toby out please," Nick said seriously, "now!"
As Ruth walked out she saw pictures of her and Jay in the staff room around the hospital she looked at Jay and shook her head. "Heres your fifty quid I earnt you," Ruth shouted at him as she threw it at him, "I didn't know I was your prosititute for the day? All a great big plan of yours, pick on the new doctor." Jay looked at her. "Ruth... No no you don't get it," Jay said seriously. Maggie came out the room and looked at her. "I am so sorry Ruth and Toby, we tried everything we could, but he didn't make it," Maggie said as she looked at Ruth.
Ruth ran out of the hospital in tears more from embarressment than upset that her father had died.
