“It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.”
“The pleasure is all mine, Dr. Kind.”
“The patient is out, Dr. Kind.”
“Thanks, Ken. Okay, everyone. Let’s give Mrs. Fields a new hip.”
I was an hour into the surgery when I heard my phone ding.
“Janet?”
“It’s from Dr. Roman. She said she’s on her way.”
“Tell my beautiful fiancée that I’ll be waiting for her.”
“Where are you going?” Ella asked as she watched me.
“We’re meeting with Giuseppe to discuss the flowers for the wedding.” I smiled at her.
“You were brave doing what you did,” she said. “Personally, I would have broken up with you.”
“Ella, you’re breaking my heart. You’ll understand one day when you’re madly in love.”
“I won’t have time for love, Uncle Conner.”
“You will, my sweet niece. You will.”

I was down in the ER checking on a patient. After I finished, I walked out of the room, and Charleigh flew down the hall.
“There’s a trauma coming in. It’s Charlotte.”
“What?” I exclaimed as we ran to the entrance where the ambulances pulled up.
“All I know is that it was a car accident,” Charleigh spoke.
“Did you page, Conner?”
“I told Laurel to run to the O.R. and get him. I already paged Jackson and Nathan.”
The ambulance pulled up, and Charleigh and I ran and opened the doors.
“What happened?” I asked just as the other ambulance pulled up.
“Car vs. Car. Possible head trauma. She’s in hypovolemic shock with BP 80/60. It took us forty-five minutes to extract her from the vehicle. We could tell by how she was positioned in the car that her seatbelt was disengaged,” the paramedic spoke.
“The other driver?” Charleigh asked.
“He’s critical. It was a police chase. She was stopped at a red light when he crashed into her car.”

Another hour had passed, and I was almost finished. The O.R. door flew open, and Laurel, one of the nurses, ran in, holding a mask over her face.
