FORREST

WHILE DR. REED was lying in bed with oxygen on her nose, she bounced her gaze between Megan and me before a knowing smile curved up her lips.

"Mom, how are you feeling?" Megan rushed toward her mom and pulled her into a hug. Her voice was wrapped with worry.

"I’m feeling better, Meggie." Dr. Reed rubbed Megan’s arms, smiling confidently at her. I could feel the affection of a mother in her voice and the way she looked at her daughter.

"What are you not telling me, mom? I may not be a doctor, but you won’t just collapse for nothing."

I cleared my throat. "Get well soon, Dr. Reed." I looked at Megan. "Take your time. I’ll be waiting outside."

I left quickly and let them have some time alone. I wondered how was Megan’s relationship with her mom. They seemed close, yet she didn’t know anything about Dr. Reed’s health.
