No Turning Back (The Traveler)
““I’m here to see Gabrielle Stevens. I’m her son, Gary,” he addressed the first nurse in view at the sign-in desk. The wide, C-shaped hospital desk was waist high and positioned in the center of the room. Patient and family member chairs were lined up to the left and the right of it.
Receiving nurses and medics overheard Gary announce himself before turning to observe the man in pensive silence. They were already familiar with his mother’s case.
“Just one minute, please,” the nurse told him. She... picked up the hospital phone and dialed a number. “Yes, Gary Stevens is here for Gabrielle.” They had been expecting him.
The nurse waited patiently for a response to her call. “Okay,” she said with a nod and a look of sympathy.
Melissa eased up to Gary’s right arm and squeezed him gently. Gary remained silent thinking only of his mother.
Taylor took a few deep breaths beside them and felt hopeless. I pray that nothing serious has happened to her. This is just a horrible feeling to have, he told himself.MoreLess
