Doc walked back in the room where the therapist was working on Ashley.
"Ah, I see that you have met one of our finest physical therapists here," he told Ashley. "Now I do not know if you two were properly introduced but this is Gertrude Himmler. I think you will find yourselves with much in common." He then turned to Gertrude, "Can I speak with you for a few minutes." With that, the two left the room.
Minutes later, Doc returned to her bedside and took her hand. He was a bit somber but spirited.
"I have to leave for Bretonia within the hour as I have some issues there to settle. It is a long story but something I must take care of as it is a few layers deep."
He sighed, "I hope to have this wrapped up in a few days but if I take longer, know that I will be back. I have briefed both Dr. Brandt and Gertrude of things so they know. They will both take good care of you and Gertrude will become a good friend to you."
He stopped, just looking over her battered but healing body. "You are in good care here and will be safe."
He then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I will be back for you, I promise." He stayed a few minutes to speak there short term farewells.
