Chenjing hurried out of the classroom with a brief 'thank you' to professor Yorick. Dodging students, Chenjing flew towards the west wing and entered Dear's bedroom to find Dear sleeping there.
"Dear?" Chenjing said. "Dear, wake up."
Dear awoke and looked at Chenjing, who stifled a sound of surprise. Dear looked very ill.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Chenjing asked, worried.
"I don't know. I feel very drained." Dear replied.
"I'm taking you to the doctor." Chenjing decided.
Dear nodded mutely. Chenjing picked Dear up and flew to the medical facilities. There they met a surprised Cresta.
"What's wrong?" she asked immediately.
Chenjing and Dear described Dear's problem. Cresta nodded and then smiled reassuringly.
"Don't worry about it. I know what's wrong." she said.
"You do?" Chenjing said hopefully.
"Yes. I'll get the doc to fix you up." Cresta assured. "But you'll have to wait until he finishes with a patient in surgery."
"Alright." Chenjing agreed readily.
"It may be a while though." Cresta warned.
"That's okay. We'll wait here." Chenjing said.
"You have class." Dear said.
"I'm not leaving you until they fix you." Chenjing said adamantly.
Dear sighed in defeat. Cresta led them to an empty bed. Chenjing placed Dear gently on the bed and sat down to wait for the doctor. |
