Hearing Natalie scream like that, both Meggie and Connor turned to look at her. They would never have expected such a reaction from her.
Everything was dictated by the fear of losing her boyfriend.
His accident was bad enough and the worst thing was that he would do anything for his brother even at the cost of neglecting himself.
Things had gone so fast that she couldn't help herself.
Immediately after speaking to her, having also seen Jay's reaction, she immediately regretted what she had said.
She tried to approach him to apologize for her reaction, but she was stunned as she watched the detective as he sat in the corner of the room in shock.
Will was placed on a stretcher and taken to the trauma room and Dr. Rhodes was checking his parameters again. Fortunately, nothing serious had happened. He was just exhausted and the pain he felt must have been strong enough given the lack of medicines. The doctor reconnected him to the monitors, had him re-insert the center line for fluids as he was dehydrated, and put the oxygen cannula under his nose again.
The blood pressure was too low and so Connor decided to keep it under control.
Meanwhile, Meggie tried to contact Dr. Charles to get Jay to take a look. The behavior the detective was maintaining at that moment was not normal.
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Halstead's phone that was in the doctor's bag started ringing.
- Hello? I'm Dr. Manning, - she said, answering
- Natalie hi, it's Hailey. I'm trying to contact Jay, but I can't. I thought maybe Will might know something about where he was.- said the woman on the other end of the phone.
- Jay is here at Med,- the doctor said. And at that point she briefly explained the situation that had arisen there in the hospital and the strange behavior of her colleague.
- I'm on my way, - the detective said, ending the call.
