he warned when Lipe finally got off the bed and stretched, relieving some of the tension in his muscles. "Can't you come back a bit later, doctor? When she's been asleep for at least four hours? She didn't sleep very well last night." "In fact, it was you who didn't sleep," the nurse entered the room and informed them with a smile, but the doctor already knew that without needing to be told. "I don't mind," Lipe said to both of them and sat down in the chair. Dr. Rafael also took a seat facing him and, with his clipboard, began reading it before looking up at the young man.

the doctor asked asked. "A few minutes ago," Katherine said. "Good. Her body needs rest- lots of it. She should be allowed to sleep and shouldn't be disturbed. I will return to examine her when she's woken up. When the doctor left, Finn climbed into the bed, making it bounce a little. He picked up the book and turned the pages rather noisily, making Katherine and I wince.

Sleep didn’t come. It hovered, teased, then slipped away every time the motel’s ancient AC kicked on and rattled the window like a warning. Houseshoe took one of Doc’s pills and passed out hard in the chair, head tipped back, mouth open like a kid who’d run too far and finally collapsed. Surgeon stayed posted at the window until dawn threatened the sky, then traded out with me without a word. Doc slept in bursts, sitting upright at the table like he’d trained himself not to trust comfort.

BRENDA'S POV Sleeping that night was a total nightmare. The doctor had been kind enough to let me have the bed while he slept on the floor, yet he would occasionally get up and walk around the room and his eyes would come over to me. It was hard to keep my eyes shut when he was taking my body like leaves in fall, and he would not do it for a couple of seconds and just walk away and keep his eyes on me for several minutes as if it was glued on me. After a while he would go back to sleep on the floor where he was sleeping before.

"Just thought I'd check up on your patient and see if she is ready to be discharged." Doc shakes his head smiling slightly in amusement. "Well if she can withstand your checking-up-on-her I'm sure she'll be fine to head back to her cabin." Doc jests, handing me a bottle of pills. "Two in the evening after dinner. They're to help you sleep. Remember, you can't perform at your peak if you're not sleeping" Doc looks at Liam meaningfully, "so don't let this rascal keep you awake." Liam winks at me before thanking Doc.

Perceptive to a fault, the doctor quickly offered, “Mr. Levin is in the study right now. I can ask him to come around.” “No need,” Vivian objected with a dry croak. She lay down on her back a little longer before slowly easing herself into a seated position through the heels of her hands and the doctor’s help. “How long have I been asleep?” she asked. “A day and night.” Vivian nodded to herself with an upward curl on her lips. “I haven’t had a peaceful sleep like this for a long, long time,” she mused quietly. When she noticed the doctor’s consternation, she smiled at her and soothed, “I’m fine, just a bit hungry. Could you please bring me some food from downstairs?”

I heard a deep voice call out and I almost screamed. “Jonathan! What the hell? You scared the life out of me.” I heaved out a sigh of relief though my heart was still pounding so fast. “I'm sorry, why are you up? Is everything okay?” He was in a white trousers and shirt which looked extremely comfortable. “I was just thirsty. Why are you up and reading a book by this time?” I questioned and he chuckled walking off into the kitchen. “I don't sleep at night. I have insomnia.” He told me and poured me a glass of water while I took a second to glance at the book he was reading which was titled, I can be an amazing father:- Tips for new fathers.

I nodded. “We’ll do some brain scans and initiate recovery therapy for his fractured leg. Soon, Mr. Nathaniel will be discharged and ready to return to his life.” “Soon?” I huffed, my folded arms loosening. “Please don’t give me false hope after saying that he might get worse. That’s upsetting.” “My bad. I’ll be more careful with my words. I apologise.” “Thank you, doctor.” “Please come by so we can talk about your health,” he returned to the discussion we had on Wednesday evening. “Your pattern of lack of sleep is unusual. You can’t afford to continue this way.”

The doctor said. Relief flooded me. "Are you sure she is completely fine?" Tristan asked again and I’ve never felt like smacking him on the head like I did now. "I can't possibly lie to you Alpha, you have nothing to worry about. Just ensure that she gets a good rest. I will prescribe a drug to help her sleep in case she has difficulty sleeping. She will be fine," the doctor assured. "Thank you, doctor," I smiled at him. "I will be on my way now," The Doctor walked out and left us both in the study.

The small movement that I made caught the attention of Coach and the woman (who I supposed a Doctor). "Oh my god, Ezra!" Coach hurriedly attend to me. I flash a small smile at her to assure her I'm fine. I think I got dizzy because I quickly get up from the bed after sleeping for...? Hold on... "How long have I been sleeping?" I asked. The Doctor went beside me. "About one and a half hour. It's pretty fast. We thought you won't wake up until tomorrow." I let out a sigh of relief. It's good to hear that I only slept for that long. I thought I slept the whole day.
