Chapter Ten

Dillon

I drove even faster to the hospital than I had from my parents’ house to ours just an hour earlier. When we got there, I pulled up in front of the Emergency Room doors and jumped out of my car.

“Hey, you can’t park there!” one of the security guards yelled.

“She’s a transplant patient, and her doctor wants her in there as soon as possible.” He reached up reflexively when I tossed my key fob his way as I rounded the vehicle. “Feel free to have it towed if you need to.”

I yanked open the passenger side door and lifted Faith out to set her into the wheelchair the security guard rolled up. “Thanks, man.”

“No problem.” His gaze slid to Faith, and his eyes turned sad. “Lost my wife in a car accident. She was a donor. Saved eight lives. I’d hate to think I put one of them at risk because of something as stupid as parking a car. I’ll take care of it for you and make sure you get the key back later.”

The world really was small and full of strange coincidences.

“Thanks,” I repeated as I hurried through the doors. I rolled Faith up to the front desk, and a nurse rushed around to us when I gave them her information.

“Dr. Stewart’s office called ahead to let us know you were coming in. Let’s get Faith to an exam room so we can draw some blood and run some tests.”

I followed her through a set of doors and down a long hallway to a small room. We got Faith situated on the exam table, and the nurse hooked her up to a machine to take her vitals before someone else came in to draw her blood. Faith fell asleep while we waited, and I sat in a chair next to her and held her hand. About half an hour later, a doctor came in.

“How bad is it, Dr. Stewart?” Faith murmured sleepily after she jerked awake at the sound of the door closing behind him.

“It isn’t great,” he sighed before his attention shifted to me and he held a hand out. “I’m Faith’s doctor, and you are?”

“Dillon Montgomery, her boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend, eh?” Dr. Stewart’s green eyes filled with humor as he turned to look at Faith. “You didn’t mention a boyfriend at your last appointment, and the nurses didn’t say anything. Have you been keeping secrets from us?”

Faith’s cheeks filled with a splash of light pink color. “It was still a newish thing back then.”

“And now?” His gaze darted between us. “Is it serious? Because if not, you may want to have Dillon step out for a moment while I talk to you.”

“No way. I’m not going anywhere,” I snapped.

“Dillon stays, Dr. Stewart.” Faith squeezed my hand. “And I need to update my HIPPA paperwork so you’re authorized to disclose any and all medical information to him.”

“That’s one heck of an answer to my question. I’ll make sure you get a new form to sign while you’re upstairs.”

“Upstairs?” I echoed.
