Serena's Choice - Coastal Romance Series (27 page)

Phillip walked over and helped
Jack out of the back seat and into the wheelchair. When he pulled the
wheelchair over the step into the kitchen, Jack winced in pain.
“Dammit, man. Be careful,” he said to Phillip. Amazing that he
could be so foul when he was depending on other people to help him.

Phillip wheeled Jack into the
living room. “Where’s he going?” he asked.

Nicole hadn’t thought past
getting Jack home. She had no idea where to put him.

“I guess the den. I think I
need to make some phone calls and get a hospital bed in here or
something.” It was only two thirty so she should be able to arrange
for something.

“There’s a drug store near
here that carries medical supplies and equipment,” Morgan said.
“They might be able to get you a bed here pretty quickly.”

Nicole called the drugstore and
asked about a hospital bed. “Does your insurance cover it?” they
asked her. She had no idea.

“I don’t know,” she said,
“But I’ll pay cash for it until I find out. Can you get it out
here today?”

An hour later, a delivery van
showed up and two men got out and moved a hospital bed into the den.
Nicole paid the exorbitant bill with a check. She would need to get
on the phone to the insurance company as soon as possible.

Phillip and Nicole helped Jack
into the hospital bed and turned on the television in the den. Jack
raised the bed so he could see the TV. Nicole covered him with a
blanket.

“Thank you,” she said to
Morgan and Phillip as they were leaving. Jack hadn’t said one word
of thanks to his sister and brother-in-law. “I couldn’t have
managed without you.”

After they left, Nicole went
back into the den to check on Jack. He was dozing. She would need to
go to the drugstore to fill his prescriptions. She might have to go
to the grocery store for some soup and other things to feed Jack, but
she decided to wait until he woke up so she could tell him. As she
watched the television in the den, she felt grateful that Jack would
not be in her bed that night, or any night in the foreseeable future.
The universe was giving her an opportunity. She intended to take
advantage of that.
