“Leaving the hospital?”

A flicker of worry crossed his face. “Staying here just… makes me uneasy.”

Vera approached, carrying an IV bag, and drew back the curtain. “Mr. Donovan, it’s time for your injection.”

“Nurse, when can my husband go home?”

Of course Candida hoped he’d be discharged soon–her husband wanted to leave, so she supported him without a second thought.

Vera smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, but it depends on the doctor’s orders. Besides, Mr. Donovan just had surgery; it hasn’t even been three days yet.”

Disappointment showed on both their faces.

Noticing this, Vera made casual conversation while administering the IV. “Is something urgent going on at home?”

Stevenson hurried to reassure her. “Oh–no, nothing urgent, I just… miss being home.”

Vera let the topic drop.

That evening, over dinner at home, Vera brought up Stevenson’s request to leave the hospital.

Charlotte ladled soup into a bowl. “He wants to be discharged already?”

“Yeah, they’re a bit odd, that couple. His wife too–her husband just had surgery, and she’s not even trying to stop him from leaving.”

Charlotte stifled a laugh. “Older folks hate staying in the hospital. They think it’s a waste of money, probably just want to save where they can.”
