Chapter 67 Stopped the filming

Rachel's POV

I don't know why, but my heart always skipped whenever Ethan called me his girlfriend and it did the same when he said it to the middle aged looking lady he called Mrs Nielson. From how friendly his tone was towards her, I could tell they knew each other.

"Nice to meet you Mrs Nielson". I said bringing my hand forward for a shake. The woman smiled shaking my hand.

" No need for the formalities, you can call me Lorena". Then she walked towards me slowly dragging me away from Ethan's side and back to the bed. " You shouldn't be up by now, don't you want your wound to heal? " She asked slowly sitting me down on the bed.

" I'm back! " Marina suddenly barged in with a takeout bag in her hand and a huge smile on her face. Ethan immediately sent a glare at Mark who was standing beside her and he raised his hands in surrender.

" I tried to stop her but she insisted". He said and I giggled softly placing my hands over my mouth to hide my laughter when Ethan directed his glare at me.

" How are you feeling now?" Lorena asked after a while.

I nodded my head in response. " Apart from the pain in my lower abdomen, nothing else hurt".

It would be a lie if I said I was fine, so why not just explain what exactly I felt.

Lorena gave me a small smile before standing up from the bed. " You got shot and had an operation there, it's meant to hurt for the mean time. I would be freaking out if you said it didn't hurt". She said with a small laughter.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh at her joke. This was the first time I was seeing an elderly doctor this friendly and funny.

" It would all be better soon, I mean you've been asleep for two weeks, how much longer can it take?" She joked again and I smiled.

" Thanks doc".

" It's alright, but you have to rest... " Then she turned to Ethan who was seated on the sofa closest to the bed. " You heard that Mr? She needs to REST ". She said dragging the ' rest ' to the point I felt she was over exaggerating.

She couldn't possibly mean...

My ears reddened when I realized what she meant by her 'rest'

She chuckled slightly before directing her gaze to Marina and Mark who stood on the other side of the room. " You too guys, please ensure she rests so the medicines can work properly, and nice work on the food, I can bet she's really hungry, what did you get her? " She asked Marina who raised the takeout bag she was holding.

" Nothing much just Chicken soup porridge from Jens". She said and my eyes widened.

" Jens? Did you say Jens? " I asked in shock.

Jens were the top restaurant back in the state, and my favorite one, they served the most amazing food. But there was just one problem, it took weeks sometimes even months to get a reservation.

All my life I had only eaten their food three times all on special occasions and I had to book a reservation months before the time I wanted it. So how did Marina just leave few minutes ago and come back with food from Jens?

Marina smiled in understanding before nodding her head. "Yep baby".

"How were you able to get..."

Them in dawned on me, I was no longer in England.

" Wait... Am I back in the states? I asked no one in particular in surprise.

Ethan seated not to far from me nodded. " Yes you're back in the states. I got you transferred back here from your previous hospital after the operation ".

I blinked. Well that explained, absolutely nothing, apart from the restaurant part, although Jens was a to restaurant I've only heard of it's branches in the states.

I put out my hand shaking my head. " Any particular reason why? " I asked.

But we we were back in the States, why was Marina here?Or could it be that Ethan actually stopped the filming of the movie? There was no need for that, I had finished my part already and the movie was almost done!

My pupils dilated in shock as I thought of the possibility that my hard work and the fucking reason I endured getting shot was going to be washed down the drain.

"Rachel..." I felt someone shaking my and I snapped my head coming back to reality. " Rachel what the hell are you thinking about?" Marina asked now in front of me.

" Arina if we're back in the States, what are you doing here? Did the movie really get cancelled? Was my... "

" Slow down ". Marina said with a small chuckle holding out her hands to stop me from talking any further. " Everything is fine and the movie isn't cancelled. We're shooting the last parts actually and we'll be done in the next couple of days. "

"Phew..." I let out a sigh of relief, my tensed muscles finally relaxing.

Lorena Nielson, my doctor let out a small cough yo call my attention before hanging her stethoscope on her neck. "I had no idea what you both are talking about and I prefer not to pry". She said with a small chuckle before looking at me. " Rachel you need to get some rest, and I hope you enjoy you're meal".

I blinked softly. Of course I was going to enjoy my meal, it was from fucking Jens!

" I most definitely will Lorena, your restaurant makes the best food in the entire world. " I nodded enthusiastically collecting the takeaway bag from Marina who was now seated beside me on the huge hospital bed.

For the VIP room of a hospital to look like an actual mansion room, the hospital had to be very big and really expensive... Oh yes, it was even the VVIP room. Never knew that existed until today.

" I'm glad you love them. I'm going to send some snacks later just to sweetened your diet ". Lorena said with a small smile and my smile couldn't get any wider.

Could I possibly maybe have died and gone to heaven? Because this was exactly how I imagined it to be.

I nodded my head frantically still smiling. How could I refuse a free meal from my favorite restaurant?

"Okay". She giggled. " I'll check on you later". Lorena said as she left the room.

"That is the nicest doctor I've ever encountered in all my almost twenty five years of living". I said immediately Lorena was out of sight.

Ethan got up from the sofa and sat on the bed making Marina stand up with a huff going to seat beside Mark. " Yeah, she is nice and kind even though she owns the hospital". He said taking out the porridge.

What?

" She owns the hospital? " And she was that polite? And funny? And nice? I wanted to add but my mouth was too shocked to talk.

" That's amazing ". Marina exclaimed from where she sat and even Mark nodded. " Yes she does. Well she and her husband own it, but I hear it's being run by her oldest son but he's out of the country now". He added.

Ethan opened the take away plate and the wonderful scent of hot delicious porridge filled the air.

I shut my eyes relishing in the wonder smell before opening it back again to see a spoon beside my mouth with porridge in it.

I gave Ethan an incredulous look, shaking my head. " I can feed myself". I said trying to take the spoon from his hand bit he held it farther away from me, and no matter how hard I tried o just couldn't reach it.

Damn those long arms of his.

"No, I'm feeding you". He said vehemently. " You're injured".

" Yeah but my hands and legs walk just fine". I protested my lips pushing up to form a small pout.

" Just let him feed you already so you both can stop feeding us single dogs, dog food". Marina remarked rolling her eyes and I immediately felt heat rush to my cheeks.

How was this dog food? We were not doing anything!

" Say ah..." Ethan said bringing the food to my mouth again, I rolled my eyes before reluctantly opening my mouth and taking in the food.

"Hm..." I moaned in the delight as the porridge hit my tastes buds. This was the reason why Jens had such a remarkable reputation, their food were always delicious.

" Good girl". I heard Ethan mutter and I rolled my eyes again.

" Mrs Nielson has two sons, you should know the youngest one since you were together in England". Ethan said all of a sudden and I raised my brow.

"Really who is he then?" I asked racking my brain trying to remember if there was anyone I was with that even looked remotely like Lorena.

"You must surely remember him, er what's his name again..." Mark butted him rubbing his chin as he tried to remember the youngest son name.

"Oh yes, Raine".
