CHAPTER 12

“Good to see you awake, Mr. Wilson.”

The old man’s grunt of a response to the doctor’s greeting was followed by his grumbling, “I’d be better if I was out of this place.”

Will’s lips twitched at his grandfather’s surly reply to his doctor.

“I’m sure you would and we’ll see what we can do about that.” The doctor glanced over the records, before raising his gaze to Will. “Is this the famous grandson I’ve heard so much about from your daughter?”

“Definitely not famous, but yeah, I’m Will.” Will answered for the old man.

It was probably safest to have his grandfather’s answers kept to a minimum given the mood he was in. Confinement in a hospital bed obviously didn’t sit well with him.

The doctor nodded a greeting to Will and then turned back to his patient. “So it seems you have cardiac arrhythmia. That’s a heartbeat irregularity. It can cause palpitations, or a sudden drop in blood pressure that can lead to unconsciousness, which is what we think happened in your case.”

“I don’t care what it’s called that you think I have. I feel fine,” Grandpa growled.

“And let’s see if we can keep you feeling fine, shall we? I’m going to start you on blood thinners to reduce the risk of stroke. And we’ll get you upstairs for an electrocardiogram and go from there.”

His grandfather frowned at that plan. Apparently tests and more time in the hospital were not what he had been hoping to hear.

The doctor should be up for sainthood for his steady patience and cheerful disposition in the face of his grandfather’s less than cheery reception.

Will decided to make up for his grandfather’s lack of manners with his own and said, “Thank you, doctor.”

“My pleasure. You keep up the good work, Mr. Wilson and we’ll see about getting you out of here.” With a nod, the doctor left and Will dared to look at his grandfather.

As expected, a scowl was firmly in place.

“I’m sure he’ll release you as soon as he can.”

“You’re sure, are you?” He let out a bark of a laugh. “I’m not.”

“Then I’ll just have to break you out myself.”

The older man’s eyebrows rose. “That plan I like.”

“I’m sure you do.” Will laughed, envisioning the great escape.

Him and the old man, bare-assed in his hospital gown, shuffling down the hall in the dead of night. Ducking behind corners to avoid the staff. It certainly would be a story to tell for the ages.

Will’s mother and Megan would kill him if he ever really did it. Amanda, on the other hand, would probably help.

“Did we miss the doctor? What did he say?”

Speak of the devil . . . Will’s older sister Megan walked through the door, followed closely by his younger sister Amanda, just as he was thinking about them.

“Yeah. He just left but I can tell you what he said—”

“I can tell you myself,” his grandfather interrupted him. “I’m ready to leave, so get me out of here.”

Amanda, who was still considered the baby of the family even in her twenties, moved closer to the bed.
