Dark Void

Chapter 126th

Loreile, had been sitting inside the Cafe for some time now with her chicken wings and fries almost gone along with her diet cola. When the escort arrived to let her know that her husband was awake.

She looked up. "Did something happened?" she said to the woman.

"You're husband is awake as Doctor Taft sent me to let you know. He was asking for you Mrs. Gibbs," she announced with waiting for Loreile to get up with leaving while following her behind.

Loreile needed to throw out her garbage first before doing anything else. She told the older woman that she was coming along now with her heart up in her throat for the moment. Knowing that her husband was awake and now in some type of a coma.

Walking onto the floor of ICU. She walked down the hallway to ICU and his room as the escort went in another direction to finish her work.

Doctor Cyril Taft was sitting down on a chair talking to his patient chatting away joking. "What's so funny Doc?" Loreile needed to say to him.

"Nothing really! I assume that the escort was able to give the message to you?" he had gotten up to give her the chair. But first, she needed to kiss her husband before anything.

"I am here Doc. I am just glad Jethro is awake and doing okay?" she commented.

"His right leg has been repaired even though he's going to be needing physical therapy before getting out of here. Along as with his heart doesn't give us any more issues as well," he exclaimed with the complete truth about this friend's health condition.

"I see to it that Jethro doesn't get all that excited doc," she noted to him with her words and her husband chuckling slightly knowing all too well she doesn't mean it as well keeping him quiet once Doctor Cyril Taft leaves.

"Take care both of you. I have other sick patients to see at the moment." he chuckled with leaving the room.

"Thought he never leave Loriele. He was just plainly driving me nuts," he said while she kissed him this time on the lips while he was glad for it to have her here.

"How are you, Jethro?" she waited for his answer knowing that there are times he won't tell her the truth.

"Better than expected Loreile waking up instead of being in a coma or any other condition. What else do you wish to know?" he said with a hint of annoyance with his demeanor.

"Why are you thinking like that Jethro?" she said to him with sitting on down.

"It's true Loreile that this time that I didn't land in a coma or else I will be in trouble," he says with rubbing his temples.

"Headache?" she said.

"Yeah, I could ask you to rub my temples for a few moments. I am not forcing you to do anything at all you know?" he smirks knowing very well just what he was going to be up to.

She came over to him to have him sitting at the edge of the bed while keeping his hands to himself for the most part.

She started slowly by rubbing his temples as he closed his eyes to feel the sensation of her fingers working his temples with the silver hair getting in the way. "You need another haircut Jethro?" she replied with putting more pressure on his temples while making his head hurt further.

"Yeah, I know. Just haven't been in the mood of late to get the haircut with my mind on other things," he says to have her looking at him with worry.

"Maybe you will need to talk with Doctor Grace Confalone and express your thoughts with her. Do you want me to call for an appointment?" she said with seeing a shake of his head to tell her the answer to be agreeable for the moment. "I will call her once I am done with messaging your temples," she exclaimed as he tried to bring her in closer to him with that wicked smile of his. "Not a chance buster!" she knew better...

She broke away by pulling out her cell phone with bringing up the number onto the screen.

Doctor Grace Confalone was on her way home when her cell phone was going off to have the therapist cursing under her breath wondering just who it might be at this time while her husband is away.

"Loreile how are you this evening?" she said.

"I am if you're available to come and see my husband tonight or in the morning?" she had to ask.

"Is he having issues, Loriele?" she needed to know since she was going to change her plans.

"Yeah, he is Doctor Grace. He wants to talk with you as soon as possible." she looked over at her husband resting his head against the pillows.

"Fine, I will come now. So please let him know I am coming?" she said with anxiety needing to take some aspirins before heading out to his room to talk.

"I will tell him since I am here visiting him, Doc. See you soon." she hangs up the phone to give him the news. "She's coming now so I suggest you get your brain into high gear to talk with the therapist?"

"Just great!" he exclaimed with his expression.

"Good Jethro. I am going home to spend time with the boys while you talk and get everything out into the open with her. Maybe it will do some good with having to be stuck in the hospital, Jethro?"

"Let's hope so Loriele. Please be sure to give our children a big kiss?" he cried out with the response as she came over to kiss him before leaving. "Behave yourself with the doctor and tell her what is going on with your thoughts baby." She opened the door to his room to leave after picking up her personal belongings.
