Sia Cooper 311/2 Years Following Liam's Defeat 1 hung over a porcelain toilet in one of the guest bathrooms, puking out the little bit of breakfast I'd managed to get down before ending up, well...
Here.

I waited for the nausea to pass before I answered, "No, no...you don't need to bother a healer or anything. I just don't think the bacon agreed with me." Even the thought of the fatty, greasy bacon that ended up on my plate this morning caused another wave of nausea to roll overand I retched again. “Just no more bacon. I just need to keep my breakfasts lighter." "Your Majesty, please," Jane pleaded. "This is the third tthis week I've found you like this. I really don't think you're well. First it was the eggs, and then that sriracha sauce you like...and now the bacon?" "Maybe I have a stomach bug or something," I retorted. “I just need a little bit of rest." I could hear Jane sigh.
"Your Majesty...if you won't letcall the healer, then you leaveno choice. I'll have to send word to your husband." I paused. Griffin was out of town on a diplomatic trip that was sensitive enough to require his presence in person, but if someone got word to him that I wasn't feeling well, I knew he'd abandon the mission and rush home.
I slumped over the bowl. "Alright. You can call the doctor." dayda yok "So, you've been experiencing nausea." The doctor, a twenty-something woman with dark hair, stood over me, shining a bright light. in my eyes. She was the youngest physician I'd ever seen in the castle, but according to Jane, a prodigy who'd been invited to the castle after helping out during the war.
Mostly, she looked a little nervous to be treatingbut I was used to that by now.
And at least I didn't have Griffin staring her down while she tries to work.
I blinked against the bright light. Was this skind of neural exam? I couldn't remember the last tI'd seen a human doctor, and most werewolf doctors or healers didn't have a perfect understanding of human anatomy. This doctor in particular had brought a textbook into the room that read: Diseases of the Human Body.

"Uh, yeah. I've had snausea." "Have you eaten anything unusual in the past week? Been around anyone you know is sick?" 1/2 Bonus Chapter - Clark & Griffin (4) 1 Not as far as I know." "Any other symptoms besides nausea?" "Well... I scratched the back of my head. "The nausea is new, but I've been exhausted for the past few weeks for no real reason. Just feeling like...off, you know?" The doctor blinked atin a way that toldno, she did not understand what feeling "off" meant. Still, she made a noise of acknowledgement and spent several minutes flipping through the textbook while I waited in a chair next to the bed, (2) Finally, her eyes lit up. "Oh, I found it. I have a diagnosis!" "You do?"
Her lips thinned, her forehead creasing in concern. "Your Majesty, believe this might be incredibly serious. We need to take you to the infirmary immediately. And quarantine you." 2
I reeled back. "What? It's that serious?" My heart began pounding, my head racing with all the worst case scenarios. "I'm only a little fatigued and nauseous. You're looking atlike I have cancer or something." The wrinkles on her forehead deepened. "No, Your Majesty...I'm afraid it's more serious than that." My stomach dropped. "More serious than cancer?" 1
Perhaps I should have let Jane call Griffin after all – if i only to have him by my side while I died from whatever terminal illness the doctor was about to diagnosewith.
She sucked in a breath, wringing her hands together. "I'm afraid it looks as if you have the bubonic plague, Your Majesty." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
