"Truthfully," the doctor told me, "he can go home. We're not doing anything here that can't be done for him at his house. And we know the resources that he is working with, so setting something up like this to care for him won't be a problem."
I appreciated the level of honesty from the doctor, and I was also grateful that he wasn't talking about cost. I knew that whatever the cost was to be able to go home, Roman would have paid it gladly.
What was the point of his wealth if it couldn't even give him his freedom? Some part of me was somewhat irritated at the hesitance I noticed in the doctor. There wasn't so much hesitance the first time around and I wondered what had changed.
Was it the fact that Roman had had to be check in again for the same injury? Surely the hospital couldn't possibly think that we would press charges against them.
"I'm sure that Roman would be really happy to hear that," I answered. "So can he be discharged today?"
