Chapter 16

“Of course I’m not dead. I almost checked out, but I had a guardian angel looking out for me. If it weren’t for Saturday acting as fast as she did, I would be on the other side, chatting with the Big Guy now.” Ed was on the phone talking to Steve, a producer on the show. After two weeks, he was still in the hospital but out of ICU. He had defied the doctor’s prognosis and was making a miraculous recovery despite a few setbacks. Once out of ICU, Ed had instructed his assistant to send Saturday three dozen deep pink roses to her apartment as a small token of appreciation for saving his life.

“You can say that again. She jumped into action performing CPR without a second thought. Who knew she’d be the one to resuscitate you? With her bad attitude, I would’ve thought she was the type of woman to stand by chatting away on her cell phone while someone else did the heavy lifting.” Steve had witnessed Saturday’s antics up close on the set and wasn’t a fan.

Ed didn’t say anything right away. He was beginning to feel bad for letting everyone think that the persona he had invented was real. Ayana Lewis was nothing like Saturday Knight. Ayana was sweet and kindhearted, whereas Saturday was just the opposite. He started to tell Steve the truth but didn’t want to chance destroying what he had created. The audience loved to hate Saturday, which kept them watching to see what outlandish thing she was going to do or say next. The television business was all about high ratings, and Ed planned to keep his show among the top reality shows for as long as he could.

“Well, you never know who a person really is, now do you?” Ed finally said.

“I guess you’re right.”

“Mr. Levine, how many times do I have to tell you that cell phones aren’t allowed in the hospital?” the nurse said, coming into his private room.

Ed rolled his eyes in her direction. “Steve, I have to go. Nurse Ratched just came in.” He disconnected the call and put the phone inside the nightstand.

“I see the heart attack hasn’t affected your smart mouth,” she shot back.

“Darling Nurse Ratched, I was born with sassiness and will die with sassiness,” he said, fingering the pink feather boa that was tied around his neck.

“For the umpteenth time, my name is Nurse Rachel.” She walked over to him, flipped back the covers and placed a stethoscope on his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

“Rachel, Ratched, what’s the difference?” Ed teased. Being laid up in the hospital was a bore to him, so he found amusement in ribbing the nurses, and Nurse Rachel—an older, motherly type—was his favorite.

She didn’t respond. Most of the time she just ignored him and did her job. She stuck the ends of the stethoscope into her ears and listened.

“How’s the old ticker beating?”

“Strong, for someone who had a heart attack less than a month ago and had all the complications that you’ve had.
