Chapter 35

“Stop fussing over me; I am perfectly fine.”

I growled at the nurse. She had just told me they wanted me to stay at the hospital for a few hours. I had told her a million times that I had to get home to my daughter and that I was all right.

“So, this is where you’re hiding.”

“Jean,” I said, smiling as I saw her gentle eyes lingering on me from the doorway. “Tell her I’m fine; will you?”

She gave me a look, lifting her eyebrows.

“Are you?”

“Yes!” I groaned. “I’m perfectly fine. You can read the darn report yourself. It’ll tell you I’m great and ready to go. No severe burns, only some mild ones to my leg, but it’s nothing. And I have no signs of smoke inhalation. They took an x-ray of my chest to see if there was damage to my lungs; they checked my oxygen levels and the levels of carbon monoxide in my blood. The doctor said it’s all good.”

Jean sighed. I could tell she wasn’t sure she believed me. She always thought I exaggerated just how fine I was. She grabbed my phone from the table next to me.

“Here. You need to call your daughter and tell her where you are and don’t forget to mention how you got yourself into this trouble.”

“All right,” I said and grabbed it, “but then can you do something for me?”

Jean rolled her eyes with a sigh, then smiled as I pleaded with my hands clasped together.

“There’s always something with you, isn’t there? Like what, might I ask?”

“Find out how she’s doing.”

“Who.”

“The girl I pulled from the house.”

“Oh, Harry…” Jean’s face went blank. I sank back in the bed, leaning against the pillow at my back.

“Oh. Are you su…”?

Jean shook her head, her eyes overwhelmed with despair. “I am sorry. She died just now in the hallway. They were transferring her to the Burn Center. They resuscitated her, but her heart failed. And that was it. She’s gone.”

Tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn’t believe this. It had all been in vain? I had risked my life…for this? Only for her to die in the hospital? The thought was unbearable, cruel.

“What…what was her name?” I asked.

“Savannah Hart.”

“Savannah Hart,” I repeated pensively. I wanted to remember her.

“But there is something else,” Jean said as the nurse left us. She closed the curtain around me so no one could see us. She sat on the edge of the bed.

“What?”

“She said something to me right before she died.”

I made a face. What was she talking about?

“You were there? When she died? I don’t get it.”

“I saw her when she was being transported down the hallway. Our eyes locked, and then she mouthed two words to me that I can’t forget. Her eyes were so insistent; it still gives me goosebumps to think about it. It was like she knew she was going to die, and it was important for her to get this message across to someone before she went. I can’t explain it; I just knew it was important.
