Susanne Hampton – Unlocking the Doctor's Heart (страница 8)

Hurriedly she locked the door, and feeling rather pleased that she had brought the car back safely she raced across the parking lot to the hospital entrance. She had changed into sensible beige slacks and a white cotton shirt and put her blood-stained clothes in her laundry tub to soak before she’d left home for the second time that day. As she made her way into A and E, she looked around for Matthew, hopeful of hearing good news about the car-accident victim. They had worked well together during the crisis that morning, and that was something she couldn’t deny. But she mustn’t make more of it than that.

She was still early, so she stopped to chat to Yvette in Reception for about five minutes, getting an update on the previous day’s patients. Then she made a quick call to Paediatrics to check on Tania. She intended to visit her young patient as soon as she had a spare minute, to thank her personally for the beautiful flowers.

With no sign of Dr Harrison on the floor, she walked past his office and saw it was empty. Closing his door, she headed down to the doctors’ lounge to see if he was there. She had to put her handbag in her locker anyway, she told herself. It wasn’t as if she was going out of her way to find him.

‘Morning, Beth,’ came a cheerful voice from across the room.

‘Good morning, Dan. You’re in a very good mood. Any reason?’ Beth asked as she adjusted her white consulting coat and took the hairbrush from her locker, all the while hiding her disappointment that it wasn’t her consultant.

‘Sir Harrison, the Almighty One, was civil to me this morning. It was the first time he’s greeted me with a “Good morning, Dan” in the six months I’ve been here.’
