Chapter 0075

The doctor comes over to me. He begins checking my vitals, flashing his light in my eyes, looking over the machines as he talks. “Cara, I’m Dr. Harris. How are you feeling?”

“Terrible.” I reply.

He nods. “Can you be more specific. Do you feel burning? Aching? Sharp pains?” “Burning, yes. Aching, yes. No sharp pain, just a general, all over pain.”

“I don’t know if your father has had a chance to tell you, but I’ll give you a quick overview of your health. Your body was flooded with the venom of your kidnapper. Your body and Artemis are rejecting the venom making it act like a poison. Artemis is fighting the venom’s spread in your body, so don’t be alarmed if you can’t hear her.”

I nod, “I can feel her, but I can’t hear her.”

“That’s good, and to be expected. You are healing faster than I anticipated.” He smiles, “Or maybe I should have expected it since you are a Guardian.”

“The pain you feel should lessen as time goes on. I’d like for you to continue to try to drink fluids in addition to what we are putting into your system. I’d also like for you to try to get some sleep and when you wake again, try to eat something. Do you think you can do that?”

I nod, already feeling exhausted by this interaction. My eyes start to close but before I fall asleep I hear my father telling me he’ll be right here when I wake up.
