My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 59
The next morning when I woke up Kyle and Kenny were already there. I was relieved that Moana thought to keep the kids in their rooms. I did not want them anywhere near Kenny. I grabbed some coffee and headed into the living room where the two of them were waiting for me. “You look like you could use some more sleep woman.” Kenny said with a sly smile on his face. I yawned and said, “You are probably right about that, but I will survive. So, what do you have for me today.” Kyle took hold of the conversation. “Kenny has been busy trying to uncover any secrets he could find on Ruby. He found a few things that I am sure Emma did not even know about. Go ahead and tell her Kenny so we can make a decision on what to do next.” Kenny nodded and began telling me what he dug up. “From what I can tell Ruby is very good at keeping secrets herself. When it comes to people like me who have a lot of resources and contacts things will not stay hidden to me for long.” The way he spoke led me to belie

Kyle and I quickly rushed to Central Union Hospital. With each passing second, I was getting more anxious. I was hoping and praying the information I had for Dr. Marsh would change the outcome of Emma’s condition. I had the nurse at the front desk page him and I waited impatiently in the waiting room. I was getting irritated that he was taking so long. Deep down I knew I was being selfish since Emma was not his only patient, but at the time I did not care.Kyle was trying to stop me from pacing back and forth but the look on my face made him back down. When Dr. Marsh finally arrived, my anxiety fizzled out and I felt better. “Miss Greene, I heard you were looking for me. What can I do for you?” Dr. Marsh asked pleasantly. “Can we go somewhere more private. I do not need anyone to overhear what I am about to say.” He nodded and suggested his office.Kyle and I followed Dr. Marsh back to his office. His office did not seem like a doctor’s office but rather a teacher’s. The walls were fi

I was at a loss for what to do now. I was not expecting Ruby’s secret husband to be in charge of the university as well. I was a tad bit pissed off at Kenny at that moment for either not finding this information out or for neglecting to relay it to me.On one hand I could kill two birds with one stone here. Revealing Ruby’s true identity to Tanner both as her husband and as her educator. On the other hand, it was possible that he may already know who she really was. It was definitely a gamble either way. I was a hundred percent in a pickle.He watched me as I stared at him without saying a word. Tanner than cleared his throat before saying, “Uh hum. I am guessing my age comes to a shock to you and it may be throwing you off a bit. Most deans are more seasoned than I am. My great grand father founded this school many years ago. It has been a family tradition ever since to take over as dean when our father before us would retire. As such my father retired last semester so here, we are.”

I rushed back to Central Union Hospital as fast and as safely as I could. Once I arrived, I parked my car and hurried into the main doors. Kyle was waiting for me anxiously. He cared about Emma just as much as I did so he was eager to hear what Dr. Marsh had to say. “I waited for you before getting the information from the doc. I thought we should hear it together. Are you ready to head to his office he is waiting for us there.” Kyle said to me lightly. I took a deep breath and nodded. We made our way past reception and the waiting room. I felt like every step was like walking through quicksand. No matter how fast I walked I felt like I was getting nowhere. After what felt like an eternity, we finally made it to is office door. I twisted the knob and walked in. I was shocked to see April, Emma’s mother waiting along with the doctor. “It is about time you showed up. Natasha, you know I am a busy woman, and the doc here would not tell me why he called me here until you arrived!” April

I was so pissed with myself for not looking into the couple before now. Sure, I was busy with other things, but that was no excuse for letting my guard down. I should have made sure they were who they said they were from the very start! Kyle and I parted ways with April for the time being. He was going to drop me off at the house and then he was going to try to locate the couple who actually adopted Emma’s daughter.I was restless sitting at home. I decided to head back to the hospital. With everything that had been going on I completely forgot to tell Shane what we found out about Emma’s condition. He deserved to know more than any of us did. Once back at central union I first went to check on Emma. Nothing had changed as of yet, but I was hoping now that the doctor knew it was in fact not an aneurysm, they would find a way to cure her, and she would awaken. Dr. Marsh had placed a security guard outside her room who would be there constantly to stop anyone from coming in. That was fo

The nurse instructed me to grab the two towels hanging on the towel rack. She then had me put one under Shane’s head. “Okay I am going to remove the scalpel, once I do you need to use the remaining towel and put pressure on the wound immediately!”I frantically shook my head. “Are you crazy? You can not take that out he will bleed to death!” The nurse rolled her eyes at me. “Do not worry I know what I am doing okay get ready.”I wanted to slap myself. In my panic I forgot she was a trained professional. The nurse counted down to one then pulled out the scalpel. Blood started squirting out of Shane’s neck. I quickly pushed the towel on top of the wound making sure not to cut off his airway. I was trying not to pass out from the sight of the blood.To my horror the nurse said, “Do not stop applying pressure. I need to go get Dr. Marsh. If he wakes up at all do not let him get up. And try to make sure he does not talk either!” Just like that she flew out of the room. I was completely fre

When I woke, I was in a hospital bed and in a daze. It took me a few beats to remember what happened. I looked around the room and saw tony standing there staring out the window.“Tony?” He swiftly turned and came over to me. He grabbed my hand entangling his fingers with mine. He gave me a fuzzy feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. “Oh, thank God you are okay Tash. I am so sorry I was not quick enough to stop that man from hitting you. I subdued him and called Kyle. He sent someone posing as a cop to get him. He took him to the shed behind the cabin.”Tash? No one had ever called me that. I actually really liked the way it sounded on his lips. I squeezed his hand and said, “This is not your fault Tony. You kept me safe from a further assault from him. Where is Dr. Marsh? And did he tell you how Shane is doing?”Tony explained to me that the doctor went home for the evening, but he will be back first thing in the morning to discharge me. He said Shane was okay and he also already le

Dr. Marsh came over to me to try and examine the back of my head and I waved him off. “Doc where is nurse Heidi right now?” Surprised by my tone Dr Marsh said, “She should be out doing her rounds why what is it?” Tony understood immediately and swiftly left the room without the doctor even noticing. “She is the only one who has consistently been in both rooms. Yesterday when you mention there was surveillance from Emma’s room, she looked worried. Now I think I understand why. Is nurse Heidi one of Emma’s nurses?” Dr. Marsh’s eyes grew wide. “I had not even realized that. No, she is not she would not have any reason to be in Miss Whites room at all!” Forgetting I was the patient, and he was the doctor he ordered me to go out to reception and have them page nurse Heidi for him. I did as he said. Though the nurse at the reception area thought it strange, she did as I asked. It must have been the crazed look I had in my eyes. I went back to my hospital room and informed Dr. Marsh I was g
