sweet - as - honey: Thank you for the review. I love caring Cal too. I have written two operation scenes before. 1) Was when Jessica was suffering hypothermia when I brought her back in a story on my other account and 2) was when I had Ricky in a coma in one of my stories, I think I found that scene easier to write as I could relate to her as she had a shunt fitted and I have one. Here's the next chapter.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 173.

Ethan was lying in the bed, Cal hadn't left his side, he'd had visitors such as: Rita, Zoe, Charlie, Tess, and they all asked the same question. "How are you feeling, Ethan?"

Ethan took off his oxygen mask, ignoring Cal's protests that he needed to keep it on. "I'm fine. Thank you "

Cal rolled his eyes. "You've just had surgery, Ethan "

Zoe raised her eyebrows at Rita, noticing the upcoming tension between the lads.

"He's aware of that Cal " Rita smiled, rubbing his shoulder in a friendly way.

Cal shrugged her off and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Zoe called after him. Cal didn't hear her, he just kept on walking.

Doctor Rachel Wilson, walked in to Ethan's room. "How are you feeling, Ethan?" By now, he was getting sick of hearing the question, but he knew that they all meant well.

"I'm fine "

Rachel nodded.

"The operation was a success. "

Ethan nodded, he knew his chances were good as they had caught it early, but he had a positive attitude.

Zoe went out to see Cal, who was punching the wall.

"Ethan's operation was a success, if your interested. "

"Of course, I'm interested, he's my brother "

Zoe nodded. "Well, go and by there for him, he needs you "

Cal nodded.

Zoe took his hand in hers and examined it. "I'll come and dress this for you. "

"Thanks" Cal turned and headed in to the ED.

Zoe cleaned and dressed the wound. Cal thanked her and headed to the lifts. He stepped in and waited until the doors closed. When, they opened again, he walked down the corridor. When he come to Ethan's door he walked in.

"Ethan, I'm sorry about before."

"It's fine "

"No, it's not, I was selfish. "

"Why change a habbit of a life time?" Ethan joked.

Cal smirked.

"What happened to your hand?" Ethan asked.

"Nothing"

"Caleb"

"I punched a wall. "

"Why?" Ethan asked.

"Because.." Cal thought for a moment, before speaking. "I can't lose you Ethan"

Ethan offered Cal a small smile. "Your not going to lose me Cal, you might be a pain, but your my brother and.. I love you. "

Cal blinked. "I love you too "


Really enjoyed writing this one. Sorry, if the ending was too cheesy.
