Chapter 292 - You were a dream. (2/2)
Lena tightly held Kris' hand and they both walked into the bathroom. Lena washed her face gently, but she kept one hand on Kris the entire time. She didn't want to part from Kris at all.
When she was done, Kris helped dried her face and called in for the doctor.
Lena sat on the sofa as the doctor examined her. The doctor checked Lena's heart rate, blood pressure, and did some simple eye examination.
”Have you been getting enough sleep, Miss. Shen?” The doctor asked.
”I usually do. But today. I only slept for a bit that's why I wanted to take a nap.” Lena responded.
”Anything to be causing you a lot of stress lately?”
”Nothing out of the ordinary.”
”Are you pregnant?”
Kris looked at Lena... and Lena looked at him back. She gave him a ”What do you want” face. Shouldn't he know that she's not pregnant?! She's on her damn period!!
”No, I am not.”
”Ok.” The doctor flipped through Lena's charts. ”I see that Dr. Linda is your primary doctor and you are... just taking some birth control pills at the moment? Any other medication?”
”No, just that.”
”It seems like your body is just mentally and physically exhausted, that's why your body shut down the way it is. I can prescribe you something to help you sleep---”
”NO!” Lena interrupted him, she looked at Kris and Kris knew that she was scared. In her dream... when the doctor prescribed her something to help her sleep... she was forgetting Kris and everything here. She does not want that.
”Don't give her that.” Kris spoke.
”Ah.. Yes... If you're still having trouble to sleep, try listening to some soothing music. Try not to eat too much before bed. Definitely restrain from anything that can cause stress for the next two weeks.
If you can, make sure you exercise daily. And one thing I would recommend is to stop taking your pills for the time being. I can feel that your hormones imbalance is causing your body to go through some changes that may be unconsciously affecting you.
I will talk to your doctor and she can prescribe you something different after you are feeling better again. I would recommend...” The doctor looked at Kris. ”The man to use contraceptive until your back on the pill. And I will schedule a checkup appointment with Dr. Linda two weeks from now.”
”Ok, thanks.” Lena replied.
”Would you like to stay in the hospital overnight?”
”Can I go home instead?” Lena asked.
”Yes. But I would suggest you get a good night's sleep and follow the things I told you about. I will go get you a packet of all the things I told you about, just in case you need a reminder.”
Lena nodded.
”Thank, doctor.” Kris spoke.
The doctor left and Kris helped Lena get her items. Lena went to check up on Jackson one last time before leaving the hospital. His parents would be here later tonight anyways.
Kris held Lena's hand all the way until they reached his car. He took the food he brought earlier and put it at the backseat. He helped Lena get settled into her seat and then they drove off.
”I am sorry...” Lena apologized. ”You must have been busy today and yet you're here.”
”Are you saying that your amazing boyfriend should be somewhere else instead of here when his girlfriend is sick?” Kris glanced and Lena and then smiled. ”I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here, Lena.”
Lena turned her head and just looked at Kris while he drove. She felt like he was going to disappear and fade away at any moment.
