Chapter: Ch31 The DriverYes, in a way she did. By the way Grey was looking at her, she could tell that he was very pleased with her answer.“I just want to hug you so bad right now, but your ribs are bruised so I will control myself.” Grey said with a huge smile on his face.Cal looked away as he seemed embarrassed. Then a nurse appeared with a clipboard in hand. “I’ve got your discharge paperwork here Ms. Stockholm. I bet you are ready to head home?”“Yes, I am. This man of mine wants to carry me away and I think I will let him. Life’s too short to keep a good thing waiting.” Willa grinned at the nurse while she checked her ID bracelet that had been placed on her wrist and wrote something down on the clipboard. “By the way, do you know what room my sister Rainey is going to be staying in after her operation? That way I can call her later on when she wakes up?”The nurse looked at her and then at Cal and said, “I don’t know, but I will find out for you. She won’t be coming back here if she has a p

Chapter: Ch30 Good FortuneDr. Mead finally arrived to set Willa’s arm in a cast shortly after Tricia left. “Sorry for keeping you here so long, Ms. Stockholm. We have had quite the busy day with the restaurant accident. Your x ray shows a clean break of the forearm so I will go get what I need to cast it and hopefully have you on your way to being discharged. In the meantime if you need anything, just press your call button and ask for Dr. Mead.” He smiled and turned to walk away.A nurse came over to place some items on the table in front of Willa. She said, “He’s very good at setting broken bones. Yours is not out of place much so it won’t be too painful. On a scale of one to ten, how is your pain right now?”“Uhm like a four, maybe a five.” She looked hesitant at Grey and then back at the nurse.The nurse nodded, listened to Willa’s pulse, took her blood pressure, and temperature. Then she asked her a few questions that had already been asked before when she got the stitches done. She made some n

Chapter: Ch29 Rainey's DiagnosisHe rushed over to Rainey’s side and grabbed her hand. “Hi honey, your parents are here! Everything is going to be alright. I just know it.” He tried to be positive for her sake and then leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.Rainey observed him for a moment when he pulled away and then said, “Sweetie, have you been crying? Don’t worry. I’m fine. This is just a little set back. The good news is that my back is not broken! The kind doctor will fill you in.”Martha and Trevor quickly walked over to the other side of her bed. “That is wonderful news! So just the broken leg, huh? But what exactly is going on with your back then?” Martha asked. Rainey looked really groggy, probably due to the pain meds that she was given. So Martha didn’t press her too much, because she looked so tired and frail.Trevor held onto his wife while at the same time looking for answers from the doctor. “Doctor, this is our daughter. Give it to us straight. Ok?”“Absolutely! First

Chapter: Ch28 Shock and RecoveryTricia placed a call to Trevor just as soon as she hung up the phone with Mason. Trevor didn’t answer on the first try as he was helping Martha back into the house after her visit to the doctor. She had received another round of chemotherapy today and was feeling very tired.After getting Martha settled in, his phone rang again and he answered Tricia’s call. “Hi Tricia! This must be really important for you to be calling me. Can’t Willa settle this matter for you? Martha had chemo again today.”Tricia took a long breath and said matter of factly, “Trevor the girls were involved in an accident over lunch. I’m sure it’s all over the news right now. Ruckers got hit by a car and Willa and Rainey were up front. I’ve already informed your pilot to fly you and Martha to Frankfort Regional. He should be arriving any minute. Willa has a broken arm and head trauma, but walked out of the restaurant on her own. Rainey on the other hand is in an unknown condition as she was pinned unde

Chapter: Ch27 Set BackWilla heard the faint sound of her name being called amongst the cries from others in the fallen debris. Also, in the distance the wailing sounds of the emergency vehicles could be heard. Outsiders were trying to get in to help out with the victims. “Willa”, she heard again, but oh so faintly. Willa peered around and saw one of her sister’s shoes not far away so she headed towards it. She held her left arm gingerly as she was sure it was broken and wiped the blood out of her right eye. She kept looking around and calling out to Rainey until she finally found her under a pile of ceiling tiles and a heavy beam.“Rainey, I’m here. Don’t move! Everything will be ok. Let me start moving this mess away to help you.” Just then several members of the fire and rescue squad came in and started helping out. Willa flagged down one of her high school classmates, Steven Hardy, to help her dig out her sister.“Hey Steven! Can you help me with Rainey? She’s under this pile here and I’m a

Chapter: Ch26 Wednesday AlertMason, Willa’s driver, dropped her off at work and then took her car to get it washed up. It had rained the day before and the vehicle needed some sprucing up. He figured that she would appreciate a clean ride and based on what Tricia had told him it was expected to keep the Stockholm cars looking great all of the time. They had an account with a local car wash so he headed there. Mason needed to get back quick as he had heard his boss say that she was going to have lunch with her sister today. Mason sent his new boss a quick text to let her know that he was going to get the car washed and then heading right back. As Willa was headed up the elevator she noticed the text from Mason on her phone. She thought about how thoughtful he was to be giving her a heads up. She gave him a thumbs up emoji as a response. Meanwhile in the office, as soon as Willa stepped out of the elevator Tricia got up from her desk and followed her to her office with notepad in hand. “Good morning, Tric
