Somewhere in the haze between reality and no, Nolan's face appeared as he wiped the tears off of her face. Ellie shook her head when he started to open the drawer where she knew relief was. She told him again and again that he didn't need to be there. Wu's wrinkled forehead above her appeared next as the cool pressure of the stethoscope came next to her forehead. Wu shook her head as Ellie felt her heart beating like she had run a marathon.
"If this was Henry or Nolan, I would have expected this. Ellie you should know better than to force yourself to this point. You're supposed to be the rational one." Wu spat as she reached into the drawer.
Ellie panicked. "I'm already in full withdrawal. If I stop now, Dr Wu, I promise I do understand your concerns, but I will just have to go through it all over again. I don't want to go back to a hospital and risk getting my body messed with again. I already had surgery. I can barely move. I don't want to do this twice."
