The Return of Jonas (Pearl Vampire Chronicles #4)
“Our first emergency came two months after we’d opened. A young woman, Maria, was hemorrhaging from what we found out was a tumor in her uterus. David performed an emergency hysterectomy at two o’clock in the morning. I was there when they wheeled her in to the operating room and I was there when they brought her out. My gut feeling told me that I needed to be there. I stayed with her all night because I wanted to be there when she woke up. I didn’t want her to be alone when she got the dev...astating news. And devastating it was. She was twenty-four years old and engaged to be married. Her fiancé was working in another town. When he received word from his family members of what happened, he sent a telegram telling her that the wedding was off. He said he couldn’t marry someone who couldn’t give him a son. I clutched that telegram in my hand, seething at him and grieving for her. I was there when she woke the next morning. I held her hand while David gave her the news and tears began silently falling from her eyes. I stayed and tried to get her to talk to me, but right now she was shut down. I was there when she whispered to me, “He left me, didn’t he?” I nodded and held her hand as she read the telegram. I was there as it fluttered to the floor and she shut down again. And I was there for her recovery, talking to her even though she said nothing back, trying to find something, anything that she could grab on to and use to pull herself back. On the third morning, I walked into her room and threw open the curtains, allowing the sun to stream into the room. “The doctor says you need to get up and move around, so today you and I are going for a walk.”MoreLess
