Anthony gritted his teeth.This was going to be hard.He wanted to get to Daisy.

“Yes, sir,” he said.

“Oh, and when you do get to Daisy, tell her hi from me.”

With that, Lash turned his back on him, and away he went.The first stop was Millie.She needed help with a current delivery of toys.Millie was Baker’s woman, and owned the local toy shop.

The town of Fort Wills did not rely on online businesses, and the Skulls had been able to provide businesses with the means to stay open and keep afloat.Each business also included an online element run mainly by Whizz.He oversaw everything technical within the Skulls’ business.

It had worked for the last ten years, and Anthony saw no reason why it wasn’t going to keep working, providing they kept evolving with the changing market.The Billionaires had also helped supply some good tips on the stock market as well.

This was why they no longer needed to work illegal jobs, running guns or drugs, or anything.

The Skulls were 100 percent clean, and Anthony was starting to appreciate that more than he thought possible.Especially after seeing the effects the Monster Dogs had on Luke.

The other man was struggling to accept all he had come to learn.Even though he was gathering evidence for some time, it would seem he hadn’t grasped the full problem.He found that incredibly sad.

It was hard to confront those facts, especially when Luke didn’t believe in what his original club was doing.

After dealing with Millie’s delivery problem, along with moving several large boxes, he had to go and see Alex at his home.There, it was a trash clearing problem, and that was all.This was the point.Running around from place to place.It wasn’t long before it was dark, and by then, it was time for him to get to the hospital.

Stepping into Daisy’s room, he was tired, hungry, but the sight of his wife staring up at him with that smile he knew she reserved for him alone, lightened his whole world.He took a step toward her, then another, and he reached down, cupping her cheek, and kissing her on the head.

“On the head, seriously?”Daisy asked.

He chuckled, then took possession of her lips.She let out a sigh, and he felt her sink against him.

“That was better,” she said.

“I never want to disappoint my woman.”He pulled away but didn’t take the seat.Sitting on the edge of the bed, he held her hand.

For several moments, they just stared at each other.

“I missed you,” he said, after a short time had passed.

“I missed you too.”She frowned.

“What is it?”

“Nothing, I’m just trying to remember where I went or what I must have been dreaming about when I was in a coma, you know?”

“Do you think you went somewhere?”

“Uh, I don’t know.It’s all a little foggy right now.”

“If it’s important, it will come to you.”

Daisy tilted her head to the side.“I feel I was ...talking with you, or thinking about you.I don’t know.It’s strange, it’s like I just wanted to get home to you.”

He moved in closer and pressed a kiss to her head once again.“You’re here with me now.”

“Please get me out of this hospital.”

“Babe, you know I’d love to.”

“It’s driving me crazy.”

“I can’t let you out.”
