“I know, sweetie. We’ll call her.” I said as I rushed off the ice. I grabbed her bag from where I had sat and hurried through the lobby and outside.
“Sir, wait!” A voice called from behind me, but I didn’t stop. My niece needed the hospital, not for me to stand around and chat.
“I’m taking her to the hospital,” I yelled over my shoulder.
“We need to file a report!”
“Too bad!” I unlocked my truck and placed my niece in the front seat gently. I buckled her in, tossed her bag on thefloorboard, and closed the door before heading around to my side. I started the engine and pulled out my phone, pulling up my sister’s name. I pressed the call button, put it on speaker, and handed it to Savannah. “Tell Mom what happened.”
Karen answered on the second ring. “What’s up?”
“Mommy! I got hurt. Uncle C is taking me to the hospital right now!”
“Oh my God, what happened?”
“I fell.”
“I think she broke her arm.” I said.
“Oh my God! Savvy, baby, okay Mommy is on her way.”
I drove like a bat out of hell to the hospital, parking directly in front of the emergency room. I didn’t care, I’d move the truck later. Savvy was more important.
I ran inside with her in my arms and less than ten minutes later, we had a room. Being head of security came with some serious perks, as most of the employees knew who I was.
A nurse came in and took all of our information while requesting some ibuprofen for Savannah to keep her more comfortable. “I’ll send the doctor in, but my guess is an X-ray.”
“Thank you,” I said.
“Where’s Mommy?” Savannah cried.
“She’s coming, sweetie.” I squeezed her hand. “Hang in there. You’re doing great.”
A knock on the door sounded.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and a smiling face popped out. “Savannah? It’s Dr. Hunt. I’ve got a special present for you.”
And in walked the most gorgeous woman I’d ever seen.
I blinked once.
Then twice.
But nope, I wasn’t imagining things.
She was absolutely gorgeous. She held out a pink elephant stuffed animal to my niece with a big, friendly smile on her face. “I thought you might need a pick me up.”
Savvy took the elephant and said thanks while I tried to figure out how I’d never seen this woman before.
She was a doctor? Here? At this very hospital where I worked?
Impossible.
I would never, ever forget a face like hers.
