Hey Guys!
I'm so so sorry about this terrible late update! I hate school for doing that! I have summer holidays now though and I was never planning to give this up! I'm planning of trying to do a daily update or every few days update ;)
Thanks to my reviewers!

Previously: Captain has found out that Tintin has a diary and is determined to unravel his secrets on what truly happened to the old lad. He read the diary entry of Tintin and it was stopped when he suddenly had a terrible headache and continuos coughing that gave out blood. He felt too much pain that he passed out and hearing howl before he completely blacked out.
NOTE! IF YOU'RE CONFUSED ON WHY THE PERSPECTIVE CHANGED. IT'S FROM TINTIN'S PERSPECTIVE. YOU COULD TRY TO READ THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER!
Loads Of Good Luck,

Chapter 7: Unexpected
I felt something soft beneath me and it was warm and comfortable. A bed. I'm lying on a bed.
"Is he okay doctor? He's been out for so long." A familiar feminine voice boomed through his mind.
"He'll be fine but we need him to rest and conserve his energy while we find out what is the problem. We still can't seem to figure it out." A male voice replied.
I didn't understand what's going on as I slowly began to wake up. The blinding light forced me to shut my eyes. I did another attempt and managed to fully adjust to the light. I still felt dizzy and worn out.
I struggled to sit up. Trying to shake off how uncomfortable I feel. I saw Mrs Finch by my bedside with a concerned look.
"Please rest Tintin! You're still not well!" She said worryingly.
I continued to get up even though Mrs Finch insisted that I rest more while I kept constantly telling her I'm fine.
I remember I still felt shaky and weak which made it obvious to Mrs Finch that I'm not alright. I asked her what happened.
" I heard a howl from your room and it sounded as if something is wrong. I ran up to your room to find you lying on the ground with blood dripping from your mouth. Snowy was trying to bring you back to life by licking you. It terrified me and I immediately called the ambulance. So that's how you ended up here." She explained.
I was taking it all in. It was unbelievable and it was hard enough to believe that I had a horrible disease. I felt guilty for Mrs Finch worrying about me. I've always been calmed in every situation but not this one. I'm in one of the many rooms in the hospital lying on a bed not from severe injuries from battling crooks or doing something extreme. I don't understand what's happening to me. I'v always kept myself fit and well fed.
I got off the bed and changed back to my regular clothing. When I was about to exit the room, Mrs Finch suggested that I visit the doctor on the way. I've always ignored doctor's orders but at the moment, I can't. I have to find out what's going on with me and why is this even happening in the first place. I followed her to the doctor's room through the quiet dull hallway. I've never liked the hospital as it made me uncomfortable that anything can happen as you'll be vulnerable to strangers. The surroundings, it always gave a the creeps as there will be surgical tools around and you constantly being able to hear your own heartbeat with grey walls that makes this place look haunted.
By the time, I've reached there. The doctor was sitting on a chair in front of a rectangular white table with another two chairs placed directly opposite of the doctor. He was writing notes and greeted us with a warm smile. We settled down on the chairs.
" I'm glad to see you up! How are you feeling?" The doctor said in a calm voice.
I told him that I still felt dizzy and tired. His expression was hard to read but I can tell that he was concerned. Mrs Finch ask what has caused me to be this way.
"Well according to the results. His lungs are weak which cause him to cough up blood and have headaches due to the lack of oxygen. These symptoms doesn't match any kind of disease we've encountered. We suspect that you have a new disease that apparently has no cure." He explained.
I literally felt my heart drop. How could I be dying in slow painful way. It's just so hard to say good bye and leave all the wonderful things in this world. How about Chang, Captain and everybody? Will I ever see them again! How can I ever accept the fact that I won't survive and just disappear. How... Can I do that? Why did this have to happen to me? I feel like my freedom was stripped away from me...
He suggested that I stayed in the hospital so he can try to figure out a cure and take care of me. I've realised that I can't take the risk going back but I'm taking the chance to let all my friends and everyone I know to forget about me so they won't ever feel the pain when I'm truly gone forever. I begged the doctor to give me a few days so I can consult my friends about my condition. He wasn't so sure what to say but in the end he let me go. He gave me medicine to strengthen my body and to stop the bleeding.
I was grateful that he gave me the chance and thanked him for it. It was dark out as it was already night time. I've left the hospital with Mrs Finch accompanying me. She was trying to comfort me as much as possible and avoiding to bring up the topic about my condition. It really did lift the burden off my shoulders like nothing ever seems wrong.
"Where will your next adventure be?" She asked.
I've told her that maybe I would go to Japan to explore more about its history and attractions. I did want to go by the end of this month but it all seems bleak now.
I've reached my apartment as she accompanied me to my room. The moment I've open the door. Snowy tackled me and licked me until my whole face was wet. I was so happy to see Snowy. I nearly forgot about my old pal. Mrs Finch left me after that so that I could rest. I've settled down patting Snowy until I heard a knock on the door.
