Chapter 160

“Shit.”

With a hiss, I managed to get to a sitting position. No way was I going to be able to walk. Moving about on one foot was an option, but I’d never really been great at hopscotch.

“Fuck it. I’ll crawl if I have to.”

I would. Now that Shelby brought me some boxer shorts, at least my bare ass wouldn’t be sticking out of the opening in the back of my gown if I did.

“Going somewhere?”

“Yes.”

“Get back in that bed.” It was Sunny, the ER nurse.

“Aren’t you out of your jurisdiction? This is ICU, not the ER.”

“Anyone in the know calls it the ED these days. And I go where I’m needed. Get back in that bed.”

“No. My orthopedic surgeon wants me to walk up and down the hall.”

“Does he?”

“Yes.”

She checked my orders and notes. “Says here you’re to get up tomorrow.”

“Close enough. Come on. I want to see Patrick.”

“Do you even know where he is?” Sunny stared me down.

“He’s close.” I felt it. “I’ll check every room until I find him.”
