When My Husband Gets Here

Reyona requested that she should be discharged.

Though polite, the doctor denied her request.

Yes, he understood the urgency of what she had to go do.

Yes, he knew her and he believed that she wouldn’t endanger her health in any way.

But the fact remained that she still needed to be taken care of.

They were still awaiting her results too.

Reyona had not wanted to use her personal doctor, who was known to Maxwell, to prevent the situation where the man might be inconvenienced by questioning later.

Though she had Andrea’s number too, she had not called her for the same reason.

Andrea was even closer to Maxwell than she was to her.

But as she looked at the courteous yet resolute face of the doctor, she supposed she should have just called a doctor in after all.

After gathering her strength and being sure that she could speak without the breathy quality that kept threading her voice as a result of tiredness, she faced the doctor.
