Chapter 20: Cute Raccoon
"What hospital?" He demanded.
"Saint Patrick’s." Ethan said to Levi’s back as he had already started leaving his office.
Ethan quickly called the driver and told him to get ready to go out.
Lyse lay in the hospital bed, her head throbbing painfully. She remembered the car accident, the goats, and Max’s truck. For now she was safe, surrounded by the sterile white walls of the hospital but for how long?
She was still worried about Max and what he would try to do to her if he was not captured soon, plus what if he knew that she was going to see Janine and he tried to find her. She also wondered how she had gotten to the hospital.
A nurse entered the room, a clipboard in her hand. "How are you feeling, Ms. Spade?" she asked.
Lyse groaned. "My head hurts," she replied.
The nurse smiled. "That is to be expected after a concussion, let’s be thankful you had your seatbelt on. The doctor will be in to see you soon."
As the nurse left the room, Lyse closed her eyes. She was exhausted, both physically and emotionally, she just wanted to go home and sleep. Her eyes flew open as she thought of James worrying about her then she relaxed when she remembered that she had told him she would be gone for a couple of days.
