“The same,” he replies.
“Annnnd?”
He blows out a sigh, “We need her to have days like this even though she doesn’t show any signs of improvement.As long as she doesn’t dip, that’s a win for us.There are a lot of battles that her body is about to face, so having the same vitals and results are good.For now at least.”
“Okay.”I nod.
We’ve already talked about the battles coming.Two of them being that she can’t be in a coma forever and that her body can’t be on the high doses of morphine for long periods of time.When Dr.Kemp and her other doctors think she can start coming out of the coma, they said her body might reject all the progress she’s made since she’s been so reliant on machines doing all the work.
“We’re doing everything we can for her,” he adds.
“I know,” I reply.I just hate that there’s nothing I can do but sit here and watch her helplessly.“Our three-year-old son wants to see her?—”
“We don’t recommend small children come to the burn unit.It can be traumatizing for them, seeing their parent in this state.”
I nod, thinking the same thing but glad to hear what the doctor thought.The last thing I’d want is for Zane to see her like this and it affect him in any way.
“I’m leaving for the evening, but Dr.Morrow will be taking over the night shift,” he informs me as he leaves.
I sit back in the chair once again and stare at my Ol’ Lady.
“I love you, Sutton.I should’ve told you that months ago when I saw you come to the clubhouse for Blaze’s welcome home party.I knew then that you were it for me.I need you to fight right now, and I’ll fight with you in whatever you need.I’ll be here every step of the way no matter what.I just need…” My words get choked up in my throat, and my eyes burn from unshed tears.“I just need you to stay with me.Fight, Angel, fight with everything you have to stay here with me and Zane.”
It’s been two months since the explosion, and we haven’t been able to find any leads into who fucking blew up my woman or why the fuck they did it.Stone lifted the lockdown but makes sure that we are with someone when we go anywhere.My gut tells me that it was her bastard father and his cult, but I can’t prove shit.After the scene last month at the hospital with Shepherd Walter, I’m even more convinced but don’t have a leg to stand on.
I’m sitting in my chair, that’s fully molded to my shape since being here almost eighteen hours a day, when a commotion in the hall catches my attention.I turn putting my hand on the inside of my cut where I store my gun when Walter fucking Meyers comes into view through the glass window.
“Where is she?Where is my little girl?”he calls out heading for the nurses’ station.“I know she’s here!Look in your system, her name is Sutton Meyers.”
I quickly type out a text in the group MC chat.
ME
Fucking Walter is here.Might get heated.
“Sir, if you aren’t on the approved list, we have to ask you to leave,” a nurse tries to explain.
“List?I’m her next of kin and emergency contact.I should’ve been notified weeks ago,” he demands in a booming voice, but I don’t buy it.Now that I know what he’s done to Sutton and others her age, he is nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I stand in the doorway of Sutton’s room, blocking him and anyone else that might be with him.They’ll have to pry my cold, dead hands away from the door jamb for them to enter.What he doesn’t know is that Hawk went in and changed all of Sutton’s medical files and backdated them to show that she made me and Raegan her emergency contacts right after she got back from her trip to South America.
“I’m sorry, sir, but we’ve notified her emergency contacts, and they have set up a list of approved people who can visit,” the nurse tells him.
Walter grabs his chest dramatically in shock.
He’s good, I’ll give him that.It’s probably why people follow him around in the cult.
“But I’m her father, how can I not be on that list?”
“I’m not sure, sir, but if you leave your name and a phone number, I’ll have them contact you and give you an explanation,” the nurse says, trying to pacify the good Shepherd.
Walter turns around just as Stone, Brass, Riot, and Reaper come bounding down the hall from the elevators.He sees them, and I chuckle at his expression.He looks over at the rooms on this floor and sees me.
“You!”he points over at me.“You did this, didn’t you?”
My shoulders rise then fall in a I-don’t-give-a-fuck kinda way.
“Hello again, Walter.I see you haven’t changed much since the last time we spoke,” I chirp in the most cheerful way.My brothers make it over to me, and they stand in a line to block any way to enter Sutton’s room.
