Chapter Eighteen

Walking towards the Gloucester Royal Hospital always made Lauren feel slightly sick, she’d spent the worst days of her life in here when she’d lost her mum and the smell of strong cleaning products always brought back all the feelings of helplessness and despair.

The building was airy and modern, but it didn’t seem to matter how good the architecture was or how clever the art was, it still felt cold and sterile to her. It was strange she didn’t feel like this when she visited the Paediatric ward at Hereford County Hospital, maybe it was because this was the hospital where her mum was treated or maybe it was that she could actually offer some help when she went there, and didn’t feel useless.

Putting his arm around her like he’d been doing this for years instead of two days, Dane hugged her to him, offering comfort as if he knew that she was feeling upset.

“Okay?” he inquired.

She nodded “Yes, I just hate this place-too many bad memories.” She shuddered as if the feeling of being here made her skin crawl. He squeezed her tight and dropped a kiss on her head. They stopped outside the front doors of the Hospital so that he could retrieve his ringing phone from his pocket.

“Hey, what’s up?” He listened intently, his anger darkening his expression as he nodded. “Okay listen you should take Paige and go to your parents for a while, until this is over.” He nodded, “Ok, call me when you get there and make sure you’re not followed. Yeah, yeah, I know, okay bye.”

Swiping his phone to end the call he looked up at Lauren. “Someone left a gift on Sylvie and Malcolm’s front doorstep for Paige! It was signed from Claire. Daniel’s going to take her to stay with his parents in Scotland until things are sorted here.”

“God when will this stop?!” she exclaimed.

“Come on, let’s go see if we can find out, and see if anyone recognises the man in the photo.”

Approaching the reception desk of the Oncology department, he flashed his private security badge at the woman and asked to speak to the head of Oncology. The matronly-looking receptionist sniffed and looked over her glasses at them.

“Mr Hale is a very busy man. Do you have an appointment?”

“No, but can you please tell him Dane Bennett and Lauren Cassidy are here to see him about Claire Thompson please?” he used his polite; don’t fuck with me voice that he normally reserved for the tax office.

Paling slightly, Miss Congeniality picked up her phone.

“Mr. Hale there is a Dane Bennet and Lauren Cassidy here to see you about Claire Thompson. He insisted it’s important. Yes, okay I will tell him.” She practically purred the last sentence causing Lauren to giggle. Turning back to them all signs of the simpering sex kitten were gone.

“Mr. Hale will be with you shortly, please take a seat.” she indicated the chairs by the elevator.

“Thank you, Miss Tate.”

“Wow that was some transformation, from Miss Trenchbold to Miss Simpering Sex Kitten and back in 20 seconds.
