Itâs only a fever, but it still sucks walking into the hospital feeling mostly dead and pathetic. I wish I looked halfway decent, especially compared to Declan, whoâs got his arm wrapped around me in support. Shamefully, Iâm happy to lean on him as we stand at the reception desk. In dark wash jeans and a Henley, no one would know who he is. He still radiates authority, though, and a darkness thatâs only swept away when he smiles. Which he doesnât do for even a second as we stand there in silence, waiting for one of the two receptionists to look up. The first woman is closest to us and scribbling something in a notepad; the other has her back turned, tapping away on a computer.
Both are in light blue scrubs so I wonder if theyâre also nurses.
âChecking in with Doctor Jacobson,â Declan says evenly and calmly, but with an authority that has the young woman in front of us peeking up from the notepad. Her horn-rimmed glasses are bright teal, her lips the perfect shade of cherry red and her dark hair is pinned back in a high bun on her head. Sheâs young, much younger than the woman behind her who looks over her shoulder the moment the first questions, âName?â
âMr. Cross,â the older woman with bleach blond hair says and pushes her chair back so quickly it nearly tips over. âIâm sorry for the wait, right this way.â
The brunette in a bun seems to realize who he is right before my eyes. At first thereâs confusion and then weâre given wide eyes as the blood drains from her face.
âMy apologies; sheâs new here,â the woman leading us attempts to explain before clearing her throat and ushering us to an elevator.
Itâs quiet as we ride up the elevator, stopping on a floor that requires a code. Itâs unsettling, and I find the fever competing with an anxiousness that makes me feel sicker than I think I am.
All the while, Declan holds me, comforts me and leads me down a quiet hall, far too quiet and then into a private room.
Itâs ⦠jaw dropping. What. The. Fuck.
âI didnât know rooms at the hospital existed like this,â I murmur as I stop short of the hospital bed in the middle of the room. The bed itself is adjustable and that sets it apart from a posh hotel room. But the linens are luxurious and the furniture reminds me of the estate.
Expensive, clean and modern.
The nurse opens sliding doors to an armoire and behind it is various equipment.
âDr. Jacobson instructed me to prep you, if you donât mind.â The nurse turns to me. âIâm so sorry, I seem to have forgotten your name,â she comments with the same tension she held downstairs.
âBraelynn Lennox.â
âItâs nice to meet you, Ms. Lennox. Iâm Nurse Rachel and I will be here for anything you might need.â She stands at attention and then gestures to the bed, âIf you donât mind, would you kindly lie down.
