Cutting off the head of the snake

Chapter 44

While they were eating. Even though his stomach was telling him to slow down. He was feeling sick all of a sudden. Loreile was able to see his face turning a shade of white. She told him to stop eating while she called for the doctor.

"Please don't Loreile call the doctor?" he said with placing the food to the side of the bed.

"Fine. Just try and take it easy Jethro," she said with brushing back his hair for now. She had looked up at the computer screen to check out his vitals. His blood pressure and heart rate had spiked for the moment.

"I need to drink some water. Maybe it will help with the pain? I really don't know what exactly happened?" he was grossed out with his words.

"You were not supposed to be eating anything heavy since Doctor Taft was right for a change for when it comes to his patient?" She went to grab a cloth and placed it under the cold water to wipe down his brow.

"Thanks, Loreile for all of your help. I am feeling better," he exclaimed with his emotions and his color coming back to him.

"I am glad baby. I hate to see you this way all of the time?" she kissed him on his brow. While she went to finish up her food. Even though it was cold now.

"I hate it as well having to be feeling this way as well. All of my life always having to hide my emotions until I met with you." he cried out with a slight tear falling down his cheek as she used her fingers to remove it.

"Thank you, kind sir. Likewise as well. My first husband David was a total ass whenever It came to my emotions making me feel like an idiot at times." Loreile needed to say. I don't remember if I told you that the entire team was killed in that very same accident that killed my husband. The entire bow for which they were working on had collapsed and the Navy investigated."

"You never did tell me on whether the insurance paid you for his death?" Gibbs needed to ask the personal question.

"The Naval insurance paid me a great deal of money for which I haven't used as yet. It's in a special account, Jethro. But I will be able to use it without having to feel guilty about spending some of it?"

"That's a shame that you have to feel this way Loreile?" he exclaimed.

"There is something I could use the money for Jethro since you're been complaining about it?" she smiled ...

"And what's that Loreile?" he shifted in bed even though making him slightly uncomfortable.

"Are you serious Jethro? I am going to buy you a new truck that is needed very badly. It's going to be my gift to this situation of you being shot again."

"Stop it already?" he was pissed along with his anguish of hating the situation.

"I won't and you need that truck in order to get around while you're working and off duty. It will be a good idea to test it by driving your truck to the cabin in Pussem county." relayed the information.

"Well in that case I will accept once you do get that chance to buy that truck for me. If I had to get you something what would it be Loreile?" he will say to her with his usual smirk on his face.

"I really don't know what will I want from you except your love and devotion to me?" she exclaimed with her emotions.

"You already have that Loreile. I may be dense at times with my feelings. But I do love you a great deal." he cried out.

"Prove it to me for when you get out of here and healthy again. I am going to give you a week to show me in every way baby." she kisses him on his cheek for which he was asking for more.
