Unpredictable Love

Chapter 67

Harry's POV

The room is chilly, especially with only the thin coverage of this hospital gown. Karleigh's wide, blue eyes are glued to me as I lay down on the slim table. Our eyes lock and I shoot her a quick wink, the corners of her lips tug up ever so slightly.

Dr. Martin approaches Karleigh and instructs her to sit in the small blue chair, against the wall.

The donut shaped tube powers on and the table in laying on, begins to slide into the tube. My eyes flicker to Karleigh once more and she's nibbling on her bottom lip anxiously.

Only the noting sound of buzzing can be heard from inside the tube, and I allow my eyes to flutter closed. From last times experience in this machine, I know it'll be a while before I come out.

If Karleigh and Dr. Martin are talking outside of the tube, I wouldn't know. No sounds can be heard in this small- spaced area.

A small ray of green light flickers throughout the tube, scanning over my body. A loud beeping sound rings in my ears and moments later I'm sliding out of the donut tube.

I blink my eyes open, adjusting them to the lighting of the room. Karleigh's pinching her bottom lip between two fingers and her posture seems to relax when her eyes meet mine.

"That was quicker than last time." I casually say to Dr. Martin. He smiles and nods.

"That's because last time we were doing a full body examination, where as this time we only examined your arm." He explains.

Dr. Martin comes towards the table I'm laying on and offers me his arm to help me up. I gladly except and steady myself on my feet. Immediately Karleigh is at my side, with one of her skinny arms wrapped around my waist. I fight the urge to chuckle as I notice her gesture of trying to support my weight. Her tiny figure couldn't catch me if I collapsed, but it's the thought that counts.

"We're going to give you some treatment, then we'll be sending you off to a room for your overnight stay. Your results should be in by morning, then we can release you." Dr. Martin tells me and I nod.

He exits the room, signaling for Karleigh and I to follow. When he's a few feet ahead of us, Karleigh's lips brush against my cheek.

"Are you okay?" She whispers just loud enough for me to hear.

With a small nod, I reply. "Yes, baby."

She seems satisfied with my response, and directs her attention back in front of her.

Dr. Martin open the door to another room and points me to the bed. I lay down on the bed and Dr. Martin moves a large, gray machine to hover over my body.

"Ms. Grey, I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the room momentarily please." Dr. Martin politely asks her.

Her blue eyes widen and take in my appearance. Panic flashes clear across her face and she shakes her head at Dr. Martin.

"W-what? No! I'm staying with him." She fiercely demands.

"Ms. Grey, we're giving him a small dosage of radiation, and it could negatively impact you if you do not leave the room. Now, please." He repeats, this time more sternly.

Karleigh opens her mouth, then closes it. She gives a concerned look, then finally steps outside of the door. Three nurses enter the room and begin injecting me with needles.

The nurses and Dr. Martin yank on aluminum looking clothes and odd looking masks, probably protection from the radiation.

Dr. Martin instructs one of the nurses to turn on the machine, and when she does a burning feeling slowly moves throughout my body.
