The Boss's Daughter

Weak moment

“How can we help you?” the very pleasant voice called back to him.

“She has collapsed, I need someone right now!” was all he could answer. He was suddenly surrounded by twenty emergency personnel all checking her vitals, looking for injuries, and generally inspecting the patient.

Nothing they were doing made her wake up. He also wasn’t letting go of her.

They had her hooked up to all kinds of monitoring machines. Everyone started leaving to run the tests on what they had taken. He could place her on the bed now.

As the last person rounded the corner out of the room, he leaned down and kissed her lips while whispering, “I will be right here when you wake up”.

He didn’t have long to wait, her eyes fluttered open as her arm encircled his neck and she timidly whispers back, “I wouldn’t have it any other way. “ Afterwards, she returned his kiss with all the passion of earlier. But this time, she was pulling him into the hospital bed with her.

As the day wore on, the two talked about everything. They didn’t even notice when the doctor came in to talk about the test results.

Clearing her throat, “Miss Colicci, I have your results.”

Jean turns, “Okay, what’s the verdict, doc?”

“We found that your iron level is dangerously low. Also, when was the last time you ate or drank anything?”

Jean thought about the question. “I think yesterday, but it may have been longer.”

“Ma’am, with that fact, and the fact that you are under extreme stress, Your body was completely overwhelmed. We are going to rehydrate you through the IV and we will be adding a nutritional element to the drip, however, I need you to start taking in at least 3000 calories a day or we will have irreparable damage to your organs and we won’t be able to do anything. Do you understand?”

Jean nods her head and looks at Wayne. “I need you to contact my favorite restaurants, speak to Peter, David and James, these are the head chefs of each one, tell them what is going on. I need them to arrange each of my meals and to alternate so I don’t get bored. They will make sure I don’t have to worry about this problem arising from dietary needs again.”

Wayne looks at her lovingly and responds, “David will be preparing you something that will be here shortly, I need you to eat it, no questions asked. The doctors will not release you until your test results are stabilized.”

“I understand” as she tries to pout to get out of trouble on having allowed herself to get into this state.

Wayne simply smiles at her. She looks so innocent when she pouts. He forgives everything when she does it. He takes her hand in his and kisses it so sweetly. "We will fix this." 

He takes out his phone and moves to the sitting area in the corner. He begins by conference calling all the chefs at once.
