"Thank you Ethan, and you too Martha," I said to both of them. "I'm sorry I let my anger get the better of me."
"It's alright bro," Ethan said. "I'll run some more tests."
"Thank you," I said as I stood by Olivia's side.
"Sir?" Martha called and handed me a teddy bear. "This was right next to her."
I accepted the toy, and muttered, "Thank you."
What the hell could have happened? The door opened and a man came in, I recognized him as the staff from the Swan Lake.
"Is she okay?" he asked then stopped as he noticed me. "Oh, you're her husband, right?"
"Husband?" Martha raised a brow and looked at me.
"How did this happen?" I asked, ignoring the question from both of them.
"I don't exactly know how it happened," he said. "I was at the park and we were closing up because we didn't have a lot of night visitors. I was taking a walk to help clear my head. Then I heard a scream and found two people arguing, or struggling with each other. The lady hit the guy, and he retaliated. She ended up hitting her head against the tree. As I made my way to her, and the man ran away. She had an ID card on her, so I called this hospital."
"You didn't get a good view of the man?" I asked.
"No, not really," he said. "He was slightly taller than her, but somewhat lean. I couldn't make out his features, but I can bet he's in his late twenties."
"Jason," I said and frowned.
"You know him?" Martha asked.
"Yes.. he's nothing to her anymore, and he can't take the hint." I was seething with rage. "I'll find him."
"Now hold on, Ben, don't think about killing him. We can just call the police," Ethan advised.
"I'm not going to kill him. And, of course, the police will be involved," I assured him.
"That doesn't really assure me," he said. "Let's just wait for Olivia to wake up; then she can describe the man to the authorities. We can decide what to do next."
"I already know what he looks like," I said as I started to leave. "Watch over her for me."
"Don't waste time, and please don't do anything stupid," he warned.
I didn't answer him. I left the room, shutting the door behind me and focusing on finding Jason.
Ethan
"That idiot," I groaned.
When Ben got like that, it was difficult to stop him. In fact, I didn't know how I was able to stop him from attending to Olivia on his own. If he wanted to, he could have just moved me aside and did as he pleased. But at least he listened to me this time.
I placed my hand on Olivia's forehead.
"And you haven't even told him you're leaving," I sighed.
"I'm sorry to intrude or pry but are they a couple?" Martha asked as we both ran tests to make sure she was okay.
The other nurses had left before the witness had come in; they didn't see Ben's reaction.
"Why do you ask?" I asked as I checked Olivia's pulse; it was normal.
"I don't know, but the two of them have been fairly close," she explained. "I was excited that the boss had finally moved on. He was so happy…and now seeing him get angry, and even scared on her behalf, just adds the icing on the cake of my suspicion."
