Chapter 107: Dedication or Feelings?

"Mr Stone?"

Silas jolted out of sleep, stretching as he uncurled from the small chair he was sleeping in He lifted his head and saw that the doctor was standing in front of him.

"Hey, Doctor How was it?" Silas asked, standing up

"The surgery was successful, the doctor announced with a smile.

"Oh thank God!" Rosie exclaimed, giving Silas a hug.

Silas still found it weird that when he brought Kim to the hospital, Rosie had been there waiting. He knew they used to be friends, he just didn't know they were still talking.

He had wanted to just drop Kim off and go back to work, but Rosie's words about what the media might say if they found out Kim had almost lost both legs in his house got to him.

He knew Kim quite well-she could go public and tell everyone everything, ruining the plan. So he stayed

"Now, it's all about recovery," the doctor said. "She needs to be in bed for the next few weeks so she can heal properly" Then he turned to Silas. "Give your wife time to rest, please.*

Silas felt a small heat rise on his cheeks. "She's not my wife."

"Oh I'm sorry," the doctor apologized. "Your girlfriend then."

He shook his head. "She is not..." but he trailed off.

"He will take care of her," Rosie said. "Thank you so much, Dr Albert."

The doctor nodded, extending his hand to Silas. "You're welcome."

"Thanks Doc," Silas said.

"Alright then, take care," Dr Albert said and left.

Silas returned to the small chair, not knowing how to handle his feelings. He was scared and angry that Kim had injured herself when she should have been out of his house and out of his life.

"Thank you, Silas," Rosie said, rubbing her hand on his thigh, her eyes gleaming with tears.

Silas didn't know which part she was thanking him for, but he smiled. "You're welcome."
