No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 349



Herschel didn't respond at first, sending a chill down my spine. I quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Herschel, Herschel..."

After a heavy sigh, Herschel slowly opened his eyes. He seemed a bit out of it as he looked at me, "Felicia, I almost didn't wake up just now."

My anxiety spiked, "Herschel, I'm calling the doctor."

But Herschel held onto me, his voice weak, "No need to make a fuss, it's happened before. Just sleep paralysis."

I had always thought of sleep paralysis as a mere spooky story, but now, with his serious illness, his cancer, it seemed like it could be more than just a simple case of sleep paralysis—a warning sign of his condition worsening.

Although I wasn't a doctor, I had enough common sense, not to mention my friend Fanny, who's a real MD.

"Herschel, I'd really feel better if a doctor checked you out," I insisted, going ahead and calling for a doctor anyway.

The doctor ran some routine checks and concluded that Herschel was fine. Apparently, he had just been in a deep stage of sleep where you can hear people calling you but can't wake up.
