Nolan gasped as the realization hit him of what his sister had been suffering from, "Every time she would feel angry and not eat, she would inadvertently be making her own health worse even though she was there sleeping in a hospital ward with all of those doctors around here.."
Ellie brushed him off, "Nolan, I don't care about those doctors. I don't care about what happened at that hospital. I care about right now. So based on what you've been saying . . . I have very little understanding of medicine as I spent most of my school years on a racing track . . . but if I stop taking the drug they've been giving me to numb my pain I should recover? I just have to quit morphine."
