Chapter 60 Harry, Are You Even Human?


After Galatea had her injection, Alaric suggested, "How about we take another stroll outside today?"

"I'd like to try walking on my own," Galatea said. "I feel like I've gained some strength."

"All right, I'll support you," Alaric offered, noticing Galatea's reluctance.

"I've wiped you down, carried you, and now I'm just holding you up. What's all the fuss about?" Alaric ordered, "Listen to me!" Galatea honestly felt like cursing at that moment.

So, Alaric helped her out of bed, and although her first few steps were painful and weak, they proceeded.

"If it's too much, don't push yourself," he cautioned.

"It's okay, I think I can do it." Galatea leaned on the handrails outside the hospital room, gradually moving forward with Alaric's aid.

"Stop if you need to," Alaric reminded her after some time.

"I'll keep going a bit longer."

It was her first attempt at walking since the accident, and it wasn't too bad. Each day henceforth, she would get out of bed to walk-initially with Alaric's support, then partly on her own, and eventually, entirely by herself.

After a comprehensive examination that day, the doctor nodded approvingly, "You're recovering faster than expected. A few more days of observation, and if there are no issues, you can be discharged."

Having been hospitalized for over a month now, Galatea felt she'd forget how to walk if she stayed any longer.

"Just because you're discharged doesn't mean you're out of the woods. With your condition, don't even think about going back to work for six months. Get plenty of rest, avoid overexerting yourself, and try to stay upbeat. Don't let your emotions swing too wildly," the doctor advised.
