Slowly they entered the room, they approached in silence, Jamie took Amanda's hand and began to caress it, he said in a low voice "mama can you hear me?", "Wooden brain you don't see sleeping? Why don't you disturb it?" you are an idiot here !! " , "Cretin you" can't you see that your mother can't answer you ?? can not hear us soap brain !!! "," In short, guys enough! Are you crazy? Quarrel in front of the mother who is sick? "A very angry Dotty said about her grandchildren's behavior," Amanda, darling, my daughter, we love you, "" yes, mother, excuse us, "said the mortified boys.
A small little voice said "Philip don't call your brother with those names and you Jamie don't say he's an idiot", ommiodio !!! she woke up screaming Dotty, all the monitors began to play louder and louder, and in a second Dr. Kelford and the nurses arrived and everyone was asked to leave immediately.
Lee was terrified that Amanda had deteriorated in some way, the boys cried tightly to their grandmother, Billy took them to a private room, so that they could stay quieter, asked Lee to go with them, but he refused, it would be remained nailed to the door until the doctor came out to tell him what was happening !.
He had been waiting for some time now, now he was really worried, the doctor was not leaving the room and the nurses came in and out all the time, "honey please hold on, we all need you, I need you !!".
Suddenly from the end of the corridor appeared a very angry Joe King, furious he hurled himself at Lee trying to punch him, "Stetson what happened to my wife!?!?, What did you do to her? Why didn't you protect her? You should have been in that room, not her !.
This was too much, this emeritus idiot, now he had really exceeded all limits, as he dared to call Amanda his wife again !!!?, After he had left her and the boys to leave and worry about other people and not his family, Lee was losing the control, he avoided Joe's fist and with a move made him lose his balance, punched his stomach making it bend, then kicked him to his knees and finally immobilized him with a noose grip, "Joe , now if you calm down I let you go, it was an accident, Amanda was very brave but she was injured and God knows I never wanted it to happen, there are Dotty and the boys in a room nearby, so stop making the cretino and give yourself an attitude, otherwise I will call security and I will take you away, do you understand? ", Joe breathing with difficulty he signaled that he understood," and to be clear, Amanda is your EX wife, remember that! " .
Slowly, Lee let go of Joe, who instead of calming down tried to react, unfortunately at that moment the nurse Monica, who was part of the NEST medical team, martial arts expert, believing that the man wanted to attack Lee and then break into the room of Amanda, gave him a sharp blow on the neck making him collapse on the ground, leaving the scarecrow surprised and almost happy about what happened, "oh dear Stetson, who is this KGB agent?", Laughing Lee explained who Joe was leaving the 'Nurse Monica, sorry for what happened, immediately knelt down next to Joe to help him recover and with Lee holding him up they made him sit down, "I'm so sorry sir, but I'm used to reacting to danger and honestly she seemed dangerous to me".
Joe had calmed down and after that blow received from Lee's nurse and fist, he decided not to make other moves and to stay calm, "it doesn't matter, on the contrary I apologize for my behavior" he said to Monica, "okay Mr. King, but listen to me, "he said softly," I advise you not to stand up against Lee Stetson, he is our best agent even in hand-to-hand combat, "he looked at the scarecrow with a decidedly winking smile, in other circumstances and years ago, Lee might have taken the opportunity to learn more about Monica, who looked at her more carefully now, she was really a beautiful woman, brunette with green eyes, a face and a sweet smile and a shapely body not bad, but he was no longer the first man, now the only woman he was interested in was in a room of this hospital and was just waiting for the right moment to show her that it was
in love with her.
The boys arrived with Dotty and Billy recalled by the hustle and bustle of the fight between the two men, the nurse took leave a little disappointed, Jamie and Philip rushed to their father hugging him, "Dad, when did you arrive? And how long are you? Have you seen the mom?" , Joe was overwhelmed by the questions of the boys, "I came back two days ago, I wanted to come and see you immediately but the job blocked me in the office and then today finding no one at home, I called the IFF asking for Amanda and they told me that he was in the hospital ".
Lee looked at him with disdain, if they were his children, he would immediately run to them, what kind of father was Joe? , even Dotty was embittered by her behavior, but she was aware that her former son-in-law would never put aside her work for anyone, even for her children.
The door to Amanda's room burst open, Dr. Kelford smiled, "she woke up and even though she is very tired she is recovering", she wants to talk to her mother and her children, but I explained to him that it is still too early and he would get tired too much, therefore gentlemen, I beg you all to go home to rest and tomorrow morning, I promise you one by one you will talk to her. "
"Lee, I'm talking mostly to you, you've been here for too long, you've never left your bedside, now I order you to go home to rest, are we understood?", Billy I entrust him to you ", reluctantly the scarecrow he said he would go to rest, obviously thinking of how to sneak in that night in his beloved Amanda's room.
Joe said he would gladly have spent the night with the boys at home, Dotty was happy about it, at least they would have spent time with him, so they headed for the exit, but before they went the boys ran to Lee to greet him, and he instinctively there embraced, "to tomorrow he said softly", "tomorrow", the two boys answered in chorus, Joe was surprised, since his children had all this confidence with that arrogant Lee Stetson ?, Dotty smiled instead, it would everything went well she was sure of it.
