“You ever scare me like that again, and I'll kill you myself. I've never been so fucking terrified in my life, Hunter.”I quickly saybefore I start fucking crying again. I need to get a grip on my emotions.
“I'm sorry. What did the doctors say?”He asks.
“Intra-abdominal hemorrhage, you're really lucky it wasn't worse; they had to do emergency surgery. They're hopeful you'll make a full recovery. You're in the ICU right now but should be moved to a normal room today as long as you seem to be recovering and stable.”
“Okay, that's good. Hopefully, I'll only be here a few days. I fucking hate hospitals.”
“You'll stay until they say you can leave. End of. I'm not having you leave early and risk anything happening to you. I can't go through watching you collapse and then waiting to find out if you're still alive again.”I tell him seriously, but my eyes are starting to water again thinking about what happened.
He's saved from me lecturing him by his doctor entering.
"Ah, Mr Jacobson, good to see you're awake. Any pain anywhere we need to be aware of?”He asks as he moves closer to the bed.
"No, Doc, I feel rather good, all things considered.”He replies.
“That's good; you're a very lucky man; your injuries could have been fatal. Luckily, you got here in time for us to repair the intra-abdominal hemorrhage we found during your CT scans. We’ll get you moved to a normal room soon. As long as you continue to improve, you should be able to go home tomorrow, but what you can do will be restricted for quite a while. You need to make sure you listen to your body.”
Flame doesn't say anything; he just nods his head in agreement. He might not realize it yet, but he'll be following the doctor's orders to a tee. I'm going to make fucking sure of it. If he tries to disobey and do shit too fast, I swear I'll fucking tie him to the bed. I'm not fucking about after almost losing him.
“Right then, I'll get the order in for you to be moved. It should happen fairly quickly, the ICU beds are always in demand.”He nods at us, then spins and leaves.
Chapter Thirty-Seven
Flame
I've been in a normal hospital room for a few hours now. I'm fucking relieved to be out of the ICU. Being in there just made me more worried about my injuries. Wrath’s using my private bathroom to have a quick shower, as he absolutely stinks—his words, not mine.
Apparently, he had his injuries checked by one of my nurses last night, as he refused to leave me. He’s got a minor concussion and a bit of road rash from where he skidded across the road. Lucky fucker, coming away from that crash with minor injuries, but I'm glad that's all that is wrong with him; I'd have hated to go through what he did last night, waiting for news on me. Blaze should be here any minute with a change of clothes for Wrath, and I think he may be bringing Cam to visit too.
The next thing I hear is“Papa!”being shouted as Cam walks into the room. I can't help but smile. I was worried about how he was coping with everything that had happened.
“Hey kid, are you being good for your grandfather and uncle?”I ask as he takes a seat next to my bed.
“Of course I am Papa. Are you okay now?”He asks with worry in his eyes.
"I'm going to be okay, I promise. I've just got to take it easy; hopefully, I'll be able to come home tomorrow,”I tell him, hoping to ease his worry.
“That's good. I miss you and Dad being at home. I'll help look after you too.”
I smile at his enthusiasm and then hear the bathroom door open. I turn to see Wrath's head pop around the corner, his body still hidden behind the door.
“You got me clothes, Dad?”He asks Blaze, who entered the room just after Cam.
“Yeah.”He says. Walking towards Wrath, and handing him the bag out of his hand.
“Thanks.”
Wrath then disappears back into the bathroom to get dressed.
I focus back on Cam."So, what have I missed at home?”
"Nothing; it's been pretty boring. Aunt Jasmine asked me to hang out and watch a movie tonight, so that should be fun.”He says with enthusiasm only a child can have.
“Well, that sounds like fun.”I smile at him, but internally, I'm concerned. Her behavior recently hasn't exactly been great, and I don't want her to cause issues for Cam.
"Yeah, I have no idea what film we’re watching. Hopefully, it's not some chick flick."He tells me while pulling a disgusted face.
Wrath comes out of the bathroom just then, fully dressed and looking more refreshed.
