Given the position the two were in when the ambulance got there, assumptions may have been made. And Heather either didn’t recognize those assumptions (if you’ve never been with someone on a trip to the hospital, it may not occur to you that those restrictions apply) or she knew and didn’t correct them because it streamlined things.
Many women look good in glasses. That is why the stereotype and saying about men never making passes at them tells me that some men are not paying attention to the right things.
It’s quite possible that he had things planned out this far in advance. It’s also possible that at this time he just had an idea that there was something unusual about Shelly and filled in the details later. We already know by this point in the story that she throws V8 engines when she’s upset and does welding without gloves, so she’s noticeably stronger and tougher than an average human, so the idea that she’s not hurt too badly by a heavy blow to the noggin is conceivable.
Do you think that Heather told the doctors she was Shelly’s partner to streamline things or they just made assumptions?

It’s another six years before the reader finds out what Shelly is. Do you suppose Paul knew this far ahead?

We can thank her lineage on her paternal grandmother’s side for her strength and toughness/durability 😏
