I'm so sorry for the delay. I've been going through some stuff and had a hard time writing this chapter, I wrote different versions of this, but I liked this one best.

Anyway ENJOY.

Again, I would like to thank everyone who reads my stories and/ or reviews them.

I would like to thank Preppi101 and CassidyTVNUt for everything.

House POV:

Lisa wanted me to go back to the hospital, but I refused. I wanted to stay home.

"Don't you think it would be better for you to go back to the hospital?" She asked.

"What would be better than to stay at home with my wife, huh?" I asked in response.

"Good point." She stated, kissing me.

Her kisses could literally give me a heart attack.

Seconds later, that metaphor came true.

I fainted.

Everything went back.

NOBODY'S POV:

House was immediately transported to the hospital.

Cuddy had thought that it was the end for him, when the board wouldn't approve an immediate liver transplant.

But she finally made them come to their senses and change their minds by telling them that he's a good asset to the hospital.

They were able to get a liver right away. They were lucky.

He was still unconscious so they sedated him.

They took House to the O.R.

The operation took 2 hours but he took much longer to wake up.

It took 2 days. They were getting worried.

Cuddy's POV:

I had to catch up on work.

Wilson promised to keep me informed by he's situation.

I was working on paperwork when someone knocked on my door.

It was my assistant.

"Yes, Brenda?" I asked.

"Dr. Cuddy there is a man outside waiting for you. He says he needs to talk to you."

"Okay, send him in."

"Will do, dr. Cuddy."

Seconds later, a man came in.

"Hello, Dr. Cuddy. My name is M.G. West. " He said to me handing his hand.

I shook his hand.

"Hi, Mr. West. What can I do for you?" I asked him.

"I think I'm sick. I need to me treated. I want dr. House, on the case." He said.

"I'm sorry, but that won't be possible."

"I'm telling you Dr. Cuddy, something is very wrong with me and I want him on the case."

"I'm sorry, I'll put you with his team, but Dr. House won't be diagnosing you."

"I want Dr. House." He insisted.

"Dr. Foreman, Hadly and Taub are very good diagnosticians. They work for Dr. House."

"I want Dr. House to be my doctor." He insisted once more.

"that is not possible Mr. West. I'm sorry"

"How come, Dr. Cuddy?

"I can't discuss that with you, Mr. West."

"I'll wait. Is he on vacation? Is he gone? Whatever is the case I'll wait for him to be able to diagnose me."

"I'm not going to get rid of you and make you be treated by his team, am I?" I asked.

"no, you're not."

"He has personal issues. That's all I'm saying, Mr. West." I told him.

"Why? Is he okay?" He asked.

"Not really no…. He's been…" I started to say, but I stopped, realizing I was going too far.

"Yes…" He insisted.

"I'm sorry I cannot tell you, I got carried away."

"That's okay. Is he a close friend of yours?" he asked.

"Closer than you might think, Mr. West."

"Tell me what's wrong." He said to me trying to get more information.

"okay. Fine." I gave up. I don't know why I tried so hard to keep his status a secret.

"Let me make this short, he has liver Cirrhosis, he got a new liver, but he's not waking up. Are you satisfied?" I asked.

"Oh my god. He isn't a…"

"NO!" I screamed.

"He is not an alcoholic. He got from too much drinking over the years."

"oh."

"Why do you care so much?" I asked him.

" I hope he gets better." He told me avoiding the question.

"Why Mr. West, do you care about him?" I asked once again.

He looked at the ground, not wanting to answer my question.

TBC…

I hope you all like it.

Any ideas who the mystery man is? Is he a friend of House's? Any guesses?

Please review. =D
