"He hasn't woken up yet," Nathaniel Nathan replied. "The doctor said this is normal."
Her grandparents were elderly and unfamiliar with hospital procedures, so Nathaniel had been the one to take Zachary Preston for his check-ups that morning. That was also why he hadn't been able to see Vera off.
Sheldon Caldwell was a talkative guy. When Nathaniel arrived, he gave him a full, embellished account of what had happened that morning.
Nathaniel immediately called Aaron Cheney over and asked him to keep an eye on things at the hospital. He, in turn, had been waiting here ever since.
Vera said softly, "That's good."
"What do you want for lunch?" Nathaniel asked her.
Vera sighed. "I'll eat whatever..."
"Hey, are you going to ask my opinion?" Sheldon Caldwell stepped forward, trying to get some attention. "I helped you out big time today, and I even had to shell out several thousand dollars because of it. You have to treat me! I want meat!"
