Jeannie did all she could to blink Tony well. But every blink didn't work. Every trick in the book that she could think of, nothing worked. She even went to Hagji, and was told that there was nothing she could do. He was human, and every human lives and dies.
Jeannie went back to the hospital and called Major Healey, who was still at the house watching Amy.
"Hello?"
"Major Healey, it's not fair."
"What's not fair Jeannie?"
"I cannot blink my Master well. I've tried and it did not work."
"Do the doctors know what's wrong?"
"No. Just he's a very sick man. Major Healey, I'm losing my Master." Jeannie broke down in tears. "How's Amy?"
"She's fine."
Jeannie hung up the phone and went back to Tony's room. This time he was awake.
"Jeannie. Jeannie." He said softly.
"Master."
"Jeannie, what's going on?"
"You're a very sick man, Master. And I cannot blink you well. I've tried and it did not work. Doctors say have a virus, but do not know what it is or how to treat it."
"Jeannie?"
"Oh Master. I'm afraid I'm going to lose you." Jeannie said crying.
Tony reached up and wiped her tears. "Jeannie, you'll never lose me. Even if this outcome isn't what he want, I'll always be with you."
"I love you so, Master."
"I love you too Jeannie. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. The best decision I ever did was marrying you. I've always loved you and I always will." Tony said before coughing.
Two days passed and Tony remained in the hospital. He was getting no better. He knew as bad as he felt and from what doctors said, he wasn't going to make it. He didn't want to leave Jeannie and Amy behind. But he had no fight in him.
Jeannie went into Tony's room to find him pasty white. As she got closer she noticed that something was terribly wrong.
"Master?"
She got no response.
"Anthony?"
Still no response.
Jeannie knew. And with tears eyes, she kissed his cold cheek.
