What do you do for a living?”
Georgia asked her
Marilyn half smiled at the nurse,
“Now there’s some d?j? vu huh!”
she stated as she felt a complete sense of having done all this before. I’m an Author fantasy romance, and I have twin sons; they are seven.”
Georgia chuckled,
“Someone knows the routine.”
“Mm, I’ve been in the ICU before,”
Marilyn told her.
“Alright, can you tell me what your pain is, on a scale of one to ten, one being no pain and 10 being the worst pain you’ve ever felt?”
she was asked.
“Hmm, it’s not the worst pain I’ve ever felt… The headache is about a seven, and my body,”
she thought about that comparing it to the last time she’d been in the ICU.
“About a six.”
“Alright, would you like pain relief? The doctor has charted you some PRN.”
7 would. Mostly for my headache though.”
Marilyn stated
“Can I take this off?”
She touched the Hudson mask she was wearing.
1 think so.”
Georgia nodded as she looked at the obs machine.
“Your saturation is good 98%, I’ll switch it to nasal prongs for you.”
she nodded after taking down all the obs on a chart.
“Thank you.”
Marilyn nodded and winced as she felt pain in her head.
“My children?”
she asked.
“I believe they have been taken to get some dinner with Lisa and Hamilton. They were all here, just left about 10 minutes ago, well??ehaved boys you have. Just sat quietly the whole time.”
Marilyn sighed,
“Rambunctious normally.”
“Not at the moment. I’ll put a call in to Lisa, she’s your contact here at the hospital, and I’ll let her know you’re awake.”
“How long have I been out?”
Marilyn asked.
Georgia looked at her watch and then stated,
“Just over four hours.”
Four hours she thought to herself, it would be dinner time and that was why Lisa had taken the boys away. They must have been so very worried about her, scared because they knew it was just her and them. They had no legal guardian if something happened to her, because she had no memory of who she’d been, or who their father could possibly be.
She couldn’t just ask Lisa to take them in, that just wasn’t right. They’d met through the publishing house and though she did consider her a friend, she had no idea if Lisa would want to do something like that. It just wasn’t right to appoint her their guardian.
Both boys had trust funds in their names; she’d put five million into them. The interest had grown over the years and had seen them now be just over eight million, and they would continue to grow, and the boys were to receive them at 18 if something happened to her, but at 25 if nothing happened to her. They were set for life, and she knew it. It was all she could do for them, having no memory of her past.
Everything else she owned was to be split equally between them. All they needed was someone to look after them, an enduring guardian. Her attorney had the power of attorney for her children if something happened to her.
That thought led her to the very reason she was in this hospital, one Mr Calvin Reeves. She had no actual memory of that man and her having any involvement with him at all. But he certainly believed she was his ex??ife. What if that was actually true and she was? That would mean that Cal and Vin were Calvin’s, and they would have someone to look after them.
She closed her eyes and sighed to herself in that room. Did she really want that after all he’d done? Look at where she was because of that man. She didn’t think he was going to be a good or kind person. He appeared to her to be obsessive??ompulsive with abusive tendencies.
If he was willing to attack her, who he thought was his ex??ife, twice in the space of just two days, it was pretty clear to her that he didn’t like his ex??ife at all, and so that meant he wouldn’t treat the children any better either, or not in her eyes anyway.
