Chapter 176
Nicol
When I was finish with my breakfast and Nicolas left, I went back to the room, to fetch my coat and handbag then I went looking for my new driver Herman. I didn’t know where to look so I went to Isabella. “Isabella where will I find Herman?” “I’ll call him for you.” “No no tell me what I need to do and I’ll do it.” “Okay well just press 9 and he’ll answer.” “Thank you, Isabella.” I press 9 on the landline and just like Isabella said Herman answered “Nicol what can I do for you?” “I need to go to the hospital.” “No problem I’ll get you to at the lift.” “Okay.” I said my goodbyes to Isabella and walked to the lift where Herman was already waiting for me. We got in the lift but not one of us talked probable because we don’t know each other yet. When we got to the garage, I was so relieved Nicolas took the limousine, it was just to pretensions for me. Herman open the door, I got in. “Which hospital Nicol?” He asked “The Bellevue Hospital please Herman.” On our way to the hospital, I was making a list of things I thought I could buy for the shelter maybe they can make a nice stew for tonight it was quite cold today. When we arrived at the Hospital, I told Herman he can just dropped me at the emergency room but he didn’t want to hear about it. “Mr. Brown said I couldn’t let you out of my sight so respectfully Nicol, I’m going to park and then we can walk in together.” I didn’t argue because what was the use. Nicolas paid him so he will do what Nicolas told him. He got a parking open the door for me then I took the lead to the entrance of the emergency room. Some of the nurses greeted me those who knew me. There was one that approached me. “Can I help you?” “No, I’m here about the day clinic.” “Oh, sorry as far as I know they are not open yet.” “No, I’m the organizer sorry I should have introduced myself I’m Nicol Green and JP is helping me.” “Oh, sorry in that case go right through.”
When I walked into the space, we are going to make the day clinic it already looked like something. The beds were where they should be the monitors where standing next to the beds. There was a trolley that JP was filling with needles, gloves and everything we could possibly need. When JP looked up, he saw me, he immediately went on a rant. “Thank God it’s you.” “Why what’s going on?” “Nothing is going as plan.” I know JP and he can be a lot dramatic some times. I walked to him and took his hands in mine. “Breath JP, breath.” He started to breath when I saw he was relaxing I turned him around and made him look at the space. “Look what you accomplished the past 2 days.” “What nothing?” He asked. “JP for goodness’ sake this place looks ready to open.” “Oh no definitely not we are still waiting for the ultra sound machine and the x-tray machine then we don’t have all the medicine we need and everything is not where it supposed to be.” “Okay so that is 3 stuff you mentioned, we can sort that out today and probable be able to open tomorrow.” He turned to me pure shock on his face. “You are mad this place is far from ready.” “JP please this was a storage unit, now it looks like a real hospital ward, you did good my friend really really good.” “You really think so?” “Yes, JP I wouldn’t lie to you never.” “Thank you, Nicol.” “Okay where do you need me?” I asked him “You the boss here.” He said. “No this is your baby I’m just going to oversee what is going on and work when I can.” “Wait what?” He knew that was the plan when I get pregnant but I’m sure he didn’t think I’ll get pregnant this fast.
“You heard me you are in charge.” “Does that mean?” I put my finger in front of my mouth like telling him to keep quiet like you do a child. “It’s still very early days.” “Oh my God Nicol is that why you where so sick?” “Yes.” He walked towards me picked me up and hugged me. “Put me down.” I said hitting his back. “Oh, I’m so happy for you Nicol, this time you are going to have everything you deserved the first time around.” “Thank you, JP, but like I said still early days.” “I think it’s something to celebrate what about that nice cake in the cafeteria the only nice thing they do make.” “I can go for cake.” “Well good I’ll order some then you can help me pack out the medicine we did get.” “That’s a deal.” While JP called the cafeteria and ordered us 2 slices of cake and tea, I started to wonder around the space that was 2 days ago a storage unit. Now there where beds and privacy curtains, the blood pressure monitors where standing next to the bed and machines to monitor heart rate. I was so impressed with JP and with Nicolas if it wasn’t for him none of this would have been possible. When JP was done on the phone he came to me “You happy with everything?” “More than happy. What did they say about the ultra sound machine?” “Apparently Dr. Manno will donate his one it’s just a matter of when.” “I’m sure he doesn’t use it anymore. You want me to go up to him and asked his receptionist if we can take it so long.” “Would you? You know I don’t really like him or her.” “Yes, JP I know I’ll go upstairs as soon as we are finished with our cake and tea.” “See I’ll always need you; you are the people person diplomatic as always if I don’t like someone, they can see it written on my face.” He said and he wasn’t wrong, if JP doesn’t like you, he doesn’t hide it at all. “Well at least you are a super star with patients.” “Yes, that is my superpower.”
