Chapter 106: Revelations - IV (1/2)

"These till live, at worst they've got second degree burns The lichtenberg figures should disappear in a day or te're ad them under observation, but they should be fine" Doctor Hudson started explaining the patient's conditions

"And the third?" Arthur's father asked with a sullen voice

"She's still in surgery, she got the worst of it" Doctor Hudson spoke in a sad tone "We're doing everything we can, but we fear it's not going to be enough"

Arthur watched as his father's fists tightened He clearly wanted to throw so in the rooe

"She was hit in the head Even if she does survive, she wont be able to live a regular life" Doctor Hudson tried explaining her condition, being as respectful as he could to not set Arthur's father off on another burst of rage "It is very likely that she'll develop neurological, physiological or optical impairments That is, if she wakes up at all"

"God damn it" His father snapped Fortunately he had the state of mind to punch the wall instead of the nearby overnment b--"

"Stop it" Doctor Hudson spoke with a stern voice "We cant afford to deal with another heart attack, we've got too much on our plate already A broken fist won't help either"

"I should just topple that daovernment" His father threatened, "I'll sue them for all they're worth"

Doctor Hudson took Arthur's father to his office to help him calm down The nurses and doctors nearby all went back to their tasks, and Anna made her way to the other room to check up on the other reactor victim

Arthur left the room and slowly followed his father to Doctor Hudson's office He waited outside as the two spoke A little while later, Arthur's father came out of the room, and Doctor Hudson requested that he entered The two talked for a while, and Arthur began explaining his sy in your chest? A fast heartbeat or shaking?" Doctor Hudson began listing offitlike a balance disorder But we'll run soan running a whole slew of physical tests, he also drew blood and sent it into the lab for testing, just in case But as far as Doctor Hudson was concerned, Arthur was the healthiest he had ever been

"Arthur, would you huht of so "I'd like to use the EEG once reed, Doctor Hudson prepared a private roo up, Arthur was back in a hospital bed with the metal discs stuck to his head As soon as the machine was turned on, Doctor Hudson showed a face that insinuated he was correct

"Your brain activity, it's higher than the day you were caught in the accident" He ra, I wonder if they coincide with the elevated brain activity"

"Arthur, do you ht? I'd like to collect so on" Doctor Hudson asked

Arthur responded with a yes He needed the sleep, and his own bed required a wash, so he decided to stay the night

Doctor Hudson turned the light off as he left, he closed the door, allowing Arthur to comfortably fall asleep without much noise from outside

Arthur was anxious that he'd have another nightmare, or perhaps it was more appropriate to call theed to get a good nights sleep What was left of the night at that point anyway

Arthur oken up in the s under his eyes, and he looked incredibly haggard

"Your brain activity has returned back to nor the EEG fronosis for you, yet But hopefully this data will help us figure it out"

Doctor Hudson handed Arthur a box ofnauseous, chew on one of these Hopefully it'll help treat the symptoms"

Arthur took the box of ive Arthur so the hospital roo his way out of the laboratory, he overheard so the third victiery was considered a success, she hadn't woken up yet The woe reason the EEG showed that her brain activity was extreree This was unusual, especially for someone as supposed to be in a co about it

Arthur made his way down the stairs, he reached level one but continued down further to the ground floor On his way down he happened to pass the governent his father insulted the day beforehand, his face was rather pale and he was carrying a briefcase that seemed to be awfully heavy

Arthur made his way out the back door and entered his house He noticed that Anna's shoes were haphazardly thrown near the door, and her keys were left on the kitchen counter It seeot home
