A light knock on my door woke me from my nap. " Come in!"
The door creaked open revealing Dr. Carson's fragile frame.
" I was ordered to come check on you ."
His white coat draped over me as he gently unwrapped the bandages.
" Seems like the swelling is still bad but you don't have any sign of infection. I have some medicine that will help bring the swelling down, which will also help bring the pain level down.
Are you still hurting pretty badly ?"
I nod as small tears threaten to spill as he keeps examining the tender muscles surrounding the bullet wound.
" I am sorry. I know this is uncomfortable. "
He gently grabs some gauze and antiseptic to clean my wound. " You won't need to change the bandage again until tomorrow. Here, go ahead and take your medication now and I will have someone bring you some lunch ."
I take the glass of water he offered me placing the pill in my mouth and swallowing it in one gulp ." Thanks so much, Carson, I really appreciate it."
He smiles pushing glasses up his narrow face ." Don't thank me it's my job. Negan wants you well taken care of as his new wife ."
I rolled my eyes at his words annoyance evident on my face.
" Yeah, apparently I am wife number five . Yay! Me !"
Carson ignored my comment telling me to take it easy. I slowly pull the covers off me before getting in the tub. I gingerly put my leg inside the hot water using my good arm for support to get fully inside.
The bubbles surround me as I lean my head back on the rail. The door to my bedroom swings open, annoying me.
" Who is it?"
Negan opens the bathroom door an sits on the side of the tub.
" Did Carson take care of my new favorite wife ?"
I rolled my eyes at his words.
" I thought Sherry was your favorite ?"
" Not anymore. She is gone. She left while I was in Alexandria. Daryl also left too ."
I kept quiet as his words set in ." I have Dwight in a cell until I know if he was involved ." I also bought Dr smarty pants back here. The one that made the bullet ."
I see, well is he in a cell too?"
Negan laughed ." No. He is in a room. I think he will be useful ." I turned my head to face him.
" Now I am stuck being your favorite ?" He smiled at me with a devilish grin.
" That's right baby, and I can't wait till you feel better. My dick is craving you badly ."
