Chapter seven.
A/N Thank you for all the reviews and I'm so sorry a million times over. I've had no internet connection for the past 3 WEEKS. So again I apologize.
Chapter seven.
Will Manning paced the corridor of the surgical wing of Holby City Hospital, were only a few feet away his wife was undergoing life-saving surgery to repair a slash wound to the right side of the throat.
He remembered the day that he had met her like it was yesterday, he knew that that day beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had definitely meet his match when he tried to catch a glance at her backside and she had called him up on his bullshit.
After that he had tried every trick in the book that he knew and he was sure some that he didn't and that in itself had been difficult as he was the king of skirt-chasing and boy did he let everyone know about it but not after that day as he took every opportunity and used every excuse to just try and see her.
But every time he had asked her out to his amusement and slight embarrassment she turned him down every time, it had took five months and one hell of a lot of charming to finally get her to agree to just one date.
To his shock and surprise he could honestly say now that he was looking back that he had the most enjoyable time he had in a long time
He didn't have to try and be something that he wasn't and the thing that shocked him the most at the time was that he didn't try to kiss her at the end of that night and had let her take things at her own pace.
He was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of footsteps, looking up he saw his wife's best friend. Maggie Coldwell.
"How is she doing?" She asked, as she sat next to him.
"I don't know anything yet, she's still in theatre". Will replied, as he took the coffee she offered him.
"She's strong. If anyone can pull through this. Selena can". She tried to reassure him.
"You know I remember meeting her and realizing that I had met my match". Will told her.
"That's Selena for you". Maggie chuckled in return.
"Don't I know it, that first day I met her I tried checking her out and she well and truly called me up on my bullshit, that's when I knew I was going to marry her". Will told her.
"So she was putty in your hand then?" Maggie asked.
"Hell no, boy did she make me sweet. It took me five months just to get her to agree to go on a date with me". Will chuckled.
"She adored you". Maggie told him.
"And as I do her". Will replied.
Just as the two of them finished their conversation, a surgeon wearing bloody scrubs approached them.
"Family of Selena Manning?" He asked them.
"That's us". Will replied, standing up.
"I'm Doctor Wilson; I'm the surgeon that operated on Selena". The surgeon introduced himself.
"I'm Will Manning, her husband and this is Maggie Coldwell, Selena best friend." will tod him, shaking his hand with his right and using his left to indicate too were Maggie stood beside him.
"Selena suffered a severe slash wound to the right side of the throat, incredibly there was no major arteries hit just some tissue damage which we managed to repair. Now Selena lost more than half her body's blood volume which caused her to go into cardiac arrest. We managed to get her heart started again, but I must warn you the next 24 hours are critical". Doctor Wilson explained to them.
"Oh Jesus oh god tell me she's going to be alright?" Will began to panic.
""Mr manning I need to calm down as I said before the next 24 hours are critical and I promise you that your wife will watched closely throughout the night". Doctor told him.
"Can we see her?" Maggie asked him.
"Of course she's in room 2037". Doctor Wilson replied, leading down a long narrow white corridor.
