After the lawyer left, she found herself staring blankly out the window, her thoughts suddenly drifting home to Ozzy.
She always made sure to leave plenty of kibble for Ozzy whenever she stepped out, but now she had been hospitalized for four days.
Panic set in, and she quickly got out of bed, determined to check out and head home to see her furry friend.
But the moment her feet touched the floor, the room spun wildly.
With no other choice, she grabbed her phone and called Elvis.
“Elvis, can you swing by my place and check on Ozzy? He should have enough food, but I haven't been home in days.”
“I'll head over right now,” he assured her.
Her heart softened at his response, and on impulse, she asked, “Could you bring him over this afternoon? I really need to see him.”
“Of course.”
Only then did she feel truly at ease.
True to his word, Elvis brought Ozzy to her in the afternoon.
Ozzy was a little bundle no bigger than a forearm and had to be carried.
The moment Zoey laid eyes on him, her complexion brightened considerably.
“Thanks,” she said as she took Ozzy into her arms from Elvis.
The little grey pup was quiet, probably sensing that Zoey was unwell. It lay still in her embrace, only its tail wagging furiously.
Zoey stroked its head gently, then gave it a little nuzzle.
“Is there still food left at home?”
Elvis set down a fruit basket and took a seat. “There’s plenty. I topped it off.”
“Thank you.”
She held Ozzy close, leaning back against the headboard.
Ozzy had all his shots, but Zoey didn't want him catching anything, especially not from the hospital. She asked Elvis, her concern evident.
“When can I get out of here? I feel fine, really. I’d rather recover at home and look after Ozzy too. It’s so dull here.”
Elvis frowned, clearly worried. “You need to rest properly.”
“It’s the same at home, and I'm more comfortable there,” she insisted.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
