Hey everyone. Sorry for the really short chapter, but I didn't have much
time and I know the last chapter left you wondering so I wanted to
hopefully set your minds at ease.
"What happened here?" Dr. Meade asked as he leaned down to examine Scarlett.
"I'm not sure." Rhett answered. "I left her alone and she must have had a nightmare. Is she going to be all right?"
"I can't promise anything Captain Butler. She's right back where she was a few days ago. Right now, I need to examine her and I think it would be best if you left the room."
"I can't leave her."
"You can come back in once I'm finished, but right now I must insist that you leave. It's best for Scarlett." Rhett thought for a second and almost fought Dr. Meade, but decided if it was better for Scarlett, then he should leave.
It seemed to Rhett like he waited for hours. Finally, Dr. Meade came out of Scarlett's room. "Captain Butler, you may go in to see her, now." Rhett gave the doctor a questioning look. 'Why didn't he tell me how she is?' he wondered. Dr. Meade could read the question in Rhett's eyes. "I'm sorry, Rhett. It could go either way. At this point, there is no way to tell is she will pull through. I will be back to check on Scarlett tomorrow morning. Hopefully by then she will have improved enough for me to tell you with certainty that she will be fine." The doctor was about to leave when he remembered that he had something else to say to Rhett. "Captain Butler, I must insist that someone be present with your wife at all times. As we have seen today, it is not safe for her."
"Thank you, doctor. I can promise you, this will never happen again." Rhett said. Then he rushed to Scarlett's room where he stayed by her side through the night.
