Both Ingrid and Derek waited for the Doctor to join them and instinctfully squeezed his hand at the expression the Doctor wore.
 
"Oh, no, my apologies," he was quick to assure the two "I had just gotten an emergency call from my home in regards to my daughter.  I was just filling my nurse in on what had to be done so that Doctor Corrigan still gets the best care and I can go handle the situation."
 
He looked at Derek, dark eyes apologetic but tone still professional "I do apologize but this is something I cannot ignore.  I will of course keep in contact with the medical team here and check in but I must leave.  The technician is going to stay until," he nodded at the nurse "she can come back and stay at Doctor Corrigan's side.  She had explicit instructions on how to carry on and my direct number if something should happen, which I seriously doubt will."
 
He took a small booklette from his coat pocket and handed it to Rayne "This is what Doctor Corrigan will have to look into after she gets through this.  Support and continued treatment to make sure she doesn't fall back into this terrible cycle.  And I do hope that you catch whoever it was that put her through this."
