Chapter 61

• "I'm not privy to the specifics, Miss. All I'm aware of is that Dr. Ford has been injured by a gunshot. His brother can provide you with more details." The doctor's tone was tinged with irritation, as if she was dealing with a petulant child. She was a poor excuse for a doctor if she couldn't answer her questions with the necessary patience. How discourteous!

• "Miss, please lie down and allow me to attend to your injuries. If they're not addressed promptly, they could become infected," she said, clearly exasperated.
