A Weldon Family Christmas: A Southern Steam Novella (Weldon Brothers) - Plot & Excerpts
Emma whispered to her husband as she slid her hand over his. He didn’t respond to her touch because they had him sedated. And his skin was almost frighteningly cool, making her want to cry out with the need to warm him. Both the sedation and keeping his body temperature low for the first twenty-four hours were to minimize any possible organ or tissue damage as his body recovered. Machines beeped, IV’s dripped, and her heart beat in double-time at seeing him brought so low. He had always been so strong, such a pillar of strength throughout their life together that seeing him helpless didn’t seem real. Both the wonder and the trouble with him was that he’d always had more brave brawn than sense. He thought himself practically invincible against any foe and usually proved that to be true. Not this time though. “When I get you back home, you and me are going to have a come to Jesus meeting about the farm, John Weldon. I want you around for a good time longer, and I’m not losing you to some cows and beans.” She was only allowed to visit for a short time every hour, and her time was almost up. Jesse, Jackson, and Jared had been into see him before they left, heading back to the farm where Alexi, Nan, her grandsons and Rocky waited.
