Bella's POV
"Hello." His voice cut through the fog in my mind like a blade.
Right, Bella. Get yourself together and get out of here. My muscles tensed and ice ran through my veins. Whatever medication they had given me was working because suddenly my bones felt solid again. I swung my legs over the hospital bed's edge and pushed myself upright. Pain shot through my ribs like fire, but I clenched my teeth and stood anyway.
I scooped Toby into my arms. He felt warm and slightly damp from the lollipop they had given him, his small head bouncing against my shoulder. I brushed past the man who had just said his name moments before and headed toward the door, holding my son like he might vanish if I let go even slightly.
"Is there a problem, miss?" the man asked. I could hear confusion in his voice.
