The woman groaned as she felt the pain in her back, she had been feeling it for a month now and it had gotten worse with the passing of time.
[Are you okay? I told you to get yourself checked in a hospital...]
[Yeah, I can endure it! And I had my back checked and then I took a blood exam, The results should come tomorrow]
[Oh, really? That's good then. I just hope it's nothing serious]
And so, They continued to talk for some more minutes as the time passed, and, even though he had a not so good feeling the young man decided to ignore it.
He should be able to fix the problem by himself, after all.
Unless it was something completely unique.
******
As they were about to sleep they heard a knock on their door which made them look towards the door
[Hello! umm... this is the right address, right? I'm bringing the results from a blood exam] Said the man who was knocking.
[Wait, I'm opening the door now!] Said the woman as she walked towards the entrance of her house.
She opened the door and received the results.
[I wonder, since when do they deliver these things?]
[Oh, well we've been delivering the medical test results only in this year, although we've tried doing that since the last five years]
[Really? Back in my days we had to reach out to make sure we actually got the results]
[Oh yep, Healthcare has improved a lot lately mam]
After their conversation ended the lady walked back to the living room were the youth was waiting for her.
They both sat down in front of each other and an unusual sense of tension appeared in the room.
They both kept silent and the mother opened the results in front of her son.
!!!
She widened her eyes and the tension in the room grew tenfold.
[I...]
Sweat started forming in the teenager's forehead after seeing the serious expression on his mother's face.
[I dont...]
He felt incredibly worried and he wanted to hug his mother.
It was at this moment that the woman spoke the harsh truth... Something that would greatly shock her son.
[I don't have the slightest idea about what any of this means...]
[DON'T WORRY ME LIKE THAT YOU B×××!!!]
******
After that happened he examined the results of his mother's test and started feeling worried once more.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of his eyes, but he couldn't deny reality.
His mother was screwed, seriously.
He didn't even know it was possible to be this screwed.
She was basically dying, so much so that he wondered how she could even still go to work, even if he completely excluded most foods that could cause them harm from their diet when he was fourteen she really didn't workout at all so she shouldn't look as healthy as she does.
And that's the biggest problem, they didn't notice the problem until today, She looks so healthy after all, And this made it so that it increased until it reached this stage.
Her whole circulatory system was contaminated, her body was essentially poisoning itself and there were no known ways to stop it, he was sure of that, at this rate she would start to get other symptoms.
As for how he figured out all of this with just the test results, They were so absurd that it basically looked like a prank.
(Calm down... You're not sure there wasn't a mistake with this paper) He told himself while trying to calm down.
He decided to check her himself and see what the problem truly was, but he would need to get the necessary equipment for that.
He would need to make it.
He decided to make her stop from working and also make her stay calm.
He needs to fix the problem.

Edric woke up after having a bad dream, and he remembered something he almost forgot about.
He had suffered quite a bit in his life, this moment was in his top five of the worst in his life.
Without any particular order, there were some moments that shaped him in there.
The death of his father.
The moment he found out about the disease of his mother.
Her death.
Humanity's extinction.
The extinction of all life in the universe.
Those were pretty important in his life, he might be dead had those not happened.
But he didn't care about those now.
Today is a new day.
