Axel couldn’t stop smiling as he entered the hospital. Making his way to her room, he couldn’t wait to lead her back out those doors to the start of their life together.
He took a deep breath as he rounded the corner just before her room.
“These results are very strange, Alice.”
Axel stopped mid-step at these words.
“I really think you should let me run a more in-depth test.”
It was Peter’s voice.
“I appreciate the concern, but that won’t be necessary,” Alice replied.
“I don’t think you understand,” Peter said. “These numbers, they don’t make sense, and your healing is almost completely–”
“It makes sense to me,” Alice cut him off. “I already know all about my healing. There is no need for further testing.”
“Alice, I just–”
“My wound has healed. You said so yourself.”
“Yes, but–”
“Then there is nothing else to talk about, right?” Alice said. “With me or anyone else.”
Axel heard Peter sigh.
