Chapter 16: Hospital Vacation

Chapter 16: Hospital Vacation

I am bored.

Bored out of my mind.

I've already watch all the Disney and animated films that is available.

Gideon offered his laptop so that I can entertain myself by watching Youtube. I decline because I don't know how to use a laptop and heck what is youtube? I am living in the modern world, but I am still in primitive Era in terms of technology.

"Gideon."

I call him because I know he is just in the dining area probably responding to all the e-mails that his associates send him. Even if he clears his schedule there still important matters that he needs to address.

"Yes? Do you need something Ella?"

He peeks through the open door to my room. He is wearing a black polo shirt partnered with jeans and some loafers. This is the dressed down version of Gideon according to him.

"Can we go outside? I need some fresh air."

"Sure. I'll just ask someone to fetch me a wheelchair."

Wheelchair? No way. I don't need it.

"No need for a wheelchair. I can walk, and this is an opportunity for me to stretch my limbs."

"Are you sure? We are in the fifth floor."

"I say I can walk Gideon. I did not say 'hey let's not use the elevator, instead let's just use the stairwell' I am slow, but I am not insane."

"Knowing You Ella. I will not be surprise if you want to jump from the 5th floor of this building. Your weirdness is beyond my comprehension."

"You steal my thunder sir. Actually, that is what I really want to suggest but I know it is too early for extreme sport and it might be illegal here in New York to jump at this hour."

He just rolls his eyes at me.

"I'll call the nurse. Just stay put."

He went out of my room and goes God knows where. Oh right he will go to the nurse. Am I dumb or what? Just as he says I wait for him on my bed like a good girl. After a few minutes I heard voices and I'm sure that Gideon is with the nurse.

Nurse Mica greets me and told me that she will shift my IV line to Heplock so that I can move easily without fear of dislodging my cannula.

After shifting my IV line I ask Gideon to help me change my hospital gown to some regular clothes. If you are wondering if I avail my bed bath that Gideon owe me the answer is no. I ask the nurse to securely wrap my dressing on my stomach with plastic so that I can take a bath without worrying about the water that might enter my suture.

Gideon assist me in wearing a light blue off shoulder dress that was graciously provided by the man himself. At first, I decline accepting the clothes that he provided but he threatened me that I will have a salary cut if I will not accept it, so I smilingly accept the clothes. I even hugged it for good measure.

After checking that I am good to go he wraps his arm around my waist to assist me in standing and walking. Frankly, I don't need it since it's the 3rd day of my admission, I already regained my strength, but I am letting him because we both enjoy or rather I enjoy it.

We went out of the room and I was surprise because this floor has only three rooms and in the middle of it all is a very posh nursing station. There are three nurses that is currently on duty and I only know Nurse Mica.
