The doctor's footsteps halted. He looked down at the little boy before him.
"…Is there something else?" Keen gently closed the door behind him and asked, "Doctor, I was asleep when the other doctor came to check on Mommy this morning, so I don't know if she's fully recovered. I wanted to ask you, is Mommy really getting better?"
The man paused, then hedged. "She should be."
"So, are there any special precautions I should take when looking after her?" Keen pressed. "Mommy doesn't have much of an appetite right now because she's sick. What should she eat to get better faster?"
Silence descended.
Keen waited for a moment. When the man didn't speak, he looked up at him in confusion.
"Doctor, why aren't you saying anything?"
A few seconds later, the man's muffled, hoarse voice emerged from behind the mask.
"…Have some water."
Keen looked bewildered. "That's it?"
Ignoring the question, the man said, "You should go take care of your mother. I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for Keen to react, the man turned and walked away with large strides. Keen called after him a few more times, but the man paid him no mind.
Keen scratched his head, baffled, and muttered to himself, "That doctor was really weird."
***
The next day, at Stella's insistence, she was finally discharged from the hospital.
Neville and Haynes came to pick her up.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....

So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
