Chapter 40:
"So Dr. Hanna, you've gone to the game with me, so what can I do for you?"
"I can think of a couple of things Mr. Walker." Zoe replied in a seductive manner.
"Oh really." Max said winking at Zoe as he pulled her close and softly kissed her on the lips, only to be interrupted but Zoe's phone ringing loudly in the room.
"Where is it?" Zoe asked looking at Max in confusion.
"This place is a mess, I have no idea." Max said throwing things across the room to making the area surrounding the noise increasingly louder. Finally Max reached it and immediately answered it.
"I'm sorry Zoe can't come to the phone at the moment, she is otherwise engaged." Max said causing Zoe to let out a small giggle and jump on top of Max, wrestling him for the phone. Once she had finally won, she had Max pinned down to the bed with one hand and her phone in the other.
"Zoe Hanna speaking." She replied to the impatient voice on the other end.
"Zoe I need you. I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate. I need you to come home, please." the voice pleaded. Max ran kisses down the back of Zoe's neck but once Zoe heard what the voice had to say she froze causing Max to know that something was up.
"Zoe, what's wrong?"
"Okay, I'm on my way." Zoe said to the voice on the phone as she slowly hung up the phone and looked at Max with a sorrowful look on her face.
"Zoe, are you going to tell me or make me guess?" Max said to Zoe who was staring out of the window.
"It was Nick... He wants me to go back to Holby, says it's urgent." She said hesitantly trying not to make Max feel uncomfortable.
"Okay..." Max said in a calm manner.
"Max, you can stay for the rest of the weekend, meet up with old friends and do everything you wanted to do." Zoe replied packing her stuff into her suitcase.
"No, no. I've seen the game, its fine. " Max said in a monotonous voice trying to hide his emotions towards the matter.
"I'm so sorry Max. He sounded genuinely worried on the phone and if it is Yvonne's mum he is going to need someone there to help him through it."
Max packed his stuff away and they spent the entire time in silence. Max didn't want to say something to make Zoe upset and Zoe didn't want to bring up Nick in conversation any more.
They were finally all packed and ready to leave the hotel room. They handed in their key and made their way to Zoe's car and back to Holby.
"Thank you for everything Max." Zoe said out of the blue.
"I don't know any other man that would let their girlfriend go running back home from a weekend away to check on their ex."
"I'm not happy about it Zoe." He said looking at Zoe who had a slight look of guilt on her face.
