Part Nine, hospital, friday morning
"Mrs. King, it's nice to see you. Before your fiancé will be released you should know something."
"It isn't anything bad, is it?"
"No, it is nothing bad, only some introductions, what he is allowed to eat, for example. You must pay special attention on this. He is not allowed to eat any kind of fad food and sucker and no alcohol. Besides that he must take his medicine on time."
"It will be difficult but he will take my order. Is there any other thing I must look after?"
"Only that he needs bed rest and should take his crutch. That's all. Then you can take him home with you. I gave the order that a nurse took the two of you home."
"Thank you very much, doctor. Now I will go and pack hi things. Must he come back to change the bandage?"
"Yes, he must. Every second day but I have told him earlier this day."
Amanda said goodbye and went upstairs to Lee's room to pack his things for his release.
"Hi Lee, Slept well?"
"Should I tell you the truth? No! But it will change tonight. Why are you here and what are you doing with my clothes?" he asked as he saw Amanda get started to unpack his closet.
"I would be with you and like you see I pack your clothes for your release"
"But for this you have plenty of time. Better you come to me."
"For this you have to wait at least another hour but then you will have me as long as you will. And the packing need to be done by now because in half an hour you will be released. Or is that not oky with you? Then you will get your first hint, too!"
Lee would like to sat up but didn't do it with painful face.
"Thanks Mandy. I was going crazy here. How do you managed this?"
Amanda turned around and threw a stern look at him.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Perhaps you will wish you had been staying here. I have enough experience with ill male creatures. And the boys are easy- caring than real men like you. So do that what I will tell you."
Lee tried to smile but it caused to much pain.
"I will do everything you want. The main thing is that you are with me."
Amanda had just finished packing as a nurse with a wheelchair entered the room. Then they were brought back to the house.
As they get there Lee were told to lay down in bed and Amanda cooked.
"Lee will you some occupation?"
Lee grinned. "Yes, you!"
"Except me. I must cook. Otherwise we all have to starve."
"No, than nothing. But what is with the first hint you promised me?"
"You will get it with the lunch. In the meantime you can give Mr. Melrose a call and ask him about the car?" She suggest. "Besides that he would surely like to know how his best agent is doing"
"Okay I will try to catch him at the Agency."
Lee took the receiver and dialed the number of his boss. After several ringing someone answered.
"Melrose."
"Hi Billy, this is Lee. Have I interrupted you?"
"Here is the the hell ongoing and my best team is missing. Otherwise it is all the same. How are you doing?"
"I am okay only I cannot laugh and move. I have been released and getting nurse from Amanda. Do you have any information about my car and how is Francine doing with my case?"
"First your car. You were right, somebody have been manipulating it. The break-tube was cut in two. And now Francine and your case. Masters went out of the US and Francine had lost his trail but all Agencies are looking after him"
Lee gave Billy the number of the house and said good-bye.
"Mandy I should say hello to you from Billy and you should be not to hard with me."
Amanda entered the bedroom with a tray. She took a chair next to the bed and get the plates ready.
"I hope you like vegetable soup."
"I like everything you cook."
"Liar. Now eat or you won't get your hint."
"Be sorry with me. I am ill, have pain and you are torture me additionally because you tell me not the hint." Lee looked at her.
"Okay poor boy. This is the only hint you will get from me like this. All other hints you must collect by yourself. And I will tell you your gift after our marriage. But you can tell me your suggestion every time. Here come the first hint."
She gave Lee a little box covered with golden paper. He took it and opened it. It was a toy car inside.
"Amanda, you give me a car. But you know that I only love fast sport cars!"
"Lee, don't panic. I don't give you a car. This would be to obviously. But think on the space in such an car and I'm sure you will drive a car like this often in the near future. This is an hint, too."
Lee was thinking about what Amanda had told him.
"And I should say hello from mother. She wishes you that you are getting better soon."
"You have told her from me?"
"Yes I have told her about you and our marriage. And I have told her about our present. She almost was going to faint away."
Lee was amazed. "Oh, you told her what you are going to give me." Amanda smile by thinking on his present.
"Lee have you taken your pills?" Lee shook his head.
"Okay, then we will do it together. You your, I mine."
"Why must you take pills. Are you ill? I am worried about you! First you went to this mysterious appointment with your doctor you don't have told me about. Then the prescription which i should get for you and now you are taking pills. You can tell me everything. I can live with the truth. please, Mandy!"
"I am okay. These are only vitamins. My doctor thought that I was a little pale last time. She said it is the stress. This is the reason for those pills. So I won't break down. They are from the prescription I have given you. I am okay, really. I would tell you if I were serious ill."
She hoped that this answer were enough for Lee. Actually it was nearly the truth but in one or two weeks he would know the complete truth.
"Will you something to read? I have a few very interesting books from a friend of mine."
"Okay but only if you join me in bed."
Amanda agreed." I will only put some things away. Then I will come to you. I will bring the books and something to do for me with me."
After a short time Amanda came back with book about babies, pregnancy and raising. She carried a basket with wool, too. With that she would make some self-made baby clothes. Lee was surprised about this kind of books and Amanda´s needlework. But he didn't say something.
"Mrs. King, it's nice to see you. Before your fiancé will be released you should know something."
"It isn't anything bad, is it?"
"No, it is nothing bad, only some introductions, what he is allowed to eat, for example. You must pay special attention on this. He is not allowed to eat any kind of fad food and sucker and no alcohol. Besides that he must take his medicine on time."
