CHAPTER 04
Jake was back in the year 2003 recalling the morning the drugs were beginning to wear off, his throat was killing him and his side wasn't any better.
"I remember slowly opening my eyes to bright lights and everyone was staring at me. I asked where I was and Alex said Mercy Hospital, I closed my eyes asked what was the doctor's name that operated on me."
Before anyone could answer Samantha and Dr. Henson walked in the room. She said, "I did."
Jake opened his eyes and said, "Just my luck, miss high and mighty to the rescue. Well I want a different doctor to follow up."
Frank was not surprised because Dr. Walkman had already warned him.
Samantha answered, "Yes, you were lucky I was able to save your life, however I also knew once you found out, you would request another doctor. This is Dr. Malcolm Henson Chief of Surgery who will take your case once I have done the post operation examination and signed off."
"Must eat at you that for all your ass kissing, you're still not Chief of Surgery."
Everyone present in the room felt the animosity Jake had towards Dr. Walkman. They also instinctively knew whatever was between them ran deep.
Dr. Henson decided that he had enough of Jake's bashing said, "Dr. Walkman, I will do the post op examine and sign off for you. In my opinion, you did more then enough in saving Mr. Shaw's life last night. Go on, you've been here longer than you should have making sure his recovery went smooth last night."
Samantha looked at Jake one last time before she turned to leave. Jake had to get one last dig in, "Still cold hearted I see, walking out just like before."
Samantha did what Jake said walked out of the room heading towards the nurses' station to sign out with tears in her eyes.
Dr. Henson asked everyone to leave while he was examining Jake, Frank left the group to catch up with Samantha.
"Sharon, please hand me the sign out sheet and telephone." Samantha asked.
She had finished signing out and calling her answering service when Frank caught up with her. As she turned to leave, she bumped smack into a very hard upper torso. Frank shot his arm out to steady her since she had lost her balance. That brief contact sent shivers up Samantha's spine and she became frigid in his arms.
She broke away stammering, "I ah Excu ah Sorry I didn't know you were behind me."
Frank reluctantly let go said, "Do you have just a minute to talk?"
"Sure." She said as she guided him away from the nurses' station and staring eyes.
"I wanted to thank you for what did for Jake and apologize for his rudeness."
"No thanks required, it's my passion that's why I chose this profession. As far as Jake's rudeness, you don't need to apologize. Jake is a very bitter and unforgiving man especially since I hurt him deeply. As I explained hours ago, I expected him to react like he did." She said as she left Frank standing in the middle of the hall.
