Chapter Twelve
Reid walked into Noah’s room and saw the tall brunette sitting on his bed trying to read a magazine. He had told him to take it easy, but he was afraid that he was pushing himself too hard.

“Good morning Noah.”

“Dr. Oliver,” Reid opened his chart and readied his pen.

“How are you today?”

“Pretty good. It’s getting easier to see and not to ( Read more... )

Chapter Eleven 
Reid rounded the corner on the sixth floor and saw her standing at the nurses’ station.  She was clumsily moving files around the desk; trying to make it appear that she was busy.  He rolled his eyes and walked over the desk.

“Oh, ah, sure.  Dr. Oliver.”  ( Read more... )

Reid’s heart was racing and he had a bitter taste in his mouth. He stood with his head resting against the front door for at least ten minutes. His entire body was shaking.

Reid took a shower as soon as he got home. He needed to clean off the entire day. Noah’s surgery had been a success and he would make a full recovery.

Luke would not be coming over this time ( Read more... )

Chapter Eight
Reid was pulling his suitcase from the back of Luke’s car and dropped it by his feet. Luke was standing next to the rear passenger door and watched as Reid closed the trunk.

“This never would have happened without you. I don’t know how to thank you. Really, Mr. Snyder. Thank you.” Reid said wholeheartedly. He was so grateful and he ( Read more... )

Chapter Seven 
Luke checked into his room and insisted that they work together to get his testimony figured out.  Reid wanted to go to his condo and not even do this.  He knew how he was going to handle the review board tomorrow and he didn’t need to rehash everything with Luke.

Reid was about to go in to check on a head trauma when Bob caught him in the hallway.

“You’re back.  Nice trip?”

“Yes.  I need to speak to you about the lawsuit that was filed against you.”

“I’m kind of busy right now.”  Reid was trying to put off the evitable.  He knew what Bob was trying to tell him and he just wanted to put it off.  He ( Read more... )

Chapter Five 
“Dr. Oliver, do you have a minute?”

“Actually no.”

“I just want to talk about one thing.  I was going over the plans…”

“I really don’t have time for this Mr. Snyder.”

“Please.  It’ll take, just take, just one second, please hear me out.”  He drew out the last word of his sentence and gave Reid his favorite begging face.  This was the face ( Read more... )
