"Wasn't that her adopted father?" said Jolene the next day.
"Don't ask me, I've never heard of him" said Benny, pacing around the room.
"Did you get the number?".
"No. Should I have?".
"Yeah. But the nurses will-".
Jolene was cut off by a rap on the door. A grumpy looking man was on the other side. "Who are you?" he rudely spat.
"I'm Benny Watts. You?" Benny replied with the same ferocity.
"Allston Wheatly".
"Have you discharged her?".
Allston's eyes narrowed. "What's it to you?".
"Have you discharged her?".
He paused. "Yes. But I want nothing to do with her again," he said, glowering.
"Excellent. Is she with you?".
"No" he sneered. "She's in the waiting room at the hospital. She refused to go with me".
Benny pushed past him and got in his car. Jolene appeared at the door, giving Allston a stern glare.
"I think you better go now". Allston was so frightened by her glare, he simply scuttled off.
Benny arrived at the hospital and rushed to get Beth. But when he got to the waiting room, she seemed to be asleep.
"Sir?" said the nurse coming over a worried look on her face.
"Is there something wrong?" murmured Benny.
"She seems really tired, you better put her in a wheelchair, she seemed completely knocked out".
"Mr Wheatley said she refused to let him take her home".
"Oh no, he discharged her and left her here" the nurse whispered.
"Son of a… can you please get me a wheelchair please?" he said, teeth gritted.
"Of course".
