Just a small chapter on what I think will happen between Ethan and Lily when Ethan tells Lily about his disease in tonight's episode.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 153.
Ethan was sat in the staff room, trying to complete his paperwork for Connie as she was expecting it.
"Ethan?" Cal whispered as he walked in.
Ethan didn't look at his brother. Cal sighed. it seemed that Ethan had no desire to talk to him and Cal hated the way, he was shutting him out, but then Cal realised, that is exactly what he did when Matilda was dying.
Dr. Chow was in the staff room, she had taken her glasses off and was sipping at a glass of water.
"Can we talk?" Ethan requested quietly as he stood in the doorway of the staff room.
"Of course, Ethan " Lily replied quietly.
Lily was the only friend Ethan really had and vice versa, he knew that Lily would be hurt if he didn't tell her. He took a seat next to her.
"You are obviously wondering why I've been distant " He started to say.
"I did wonder, yes " She replied.
"Lilly " Ethan's mouth opened but no sound come out.
Cal looked through the window and realised what Ethan was about to do, he walked in and folded his arms.
"Yes, Dr. Knight?" Lily said in her "professional voice "
Cal ignored Lily and implored his younger brother "Don't do this "
Ethan shook his head, "I have Huntington's disease "
Ethan started to sob, life was so unfair.
Lily awkwardly rubbed his arm, she wasn't known for her "comforting skills "
Ethan returned to his flat, after his shift had finished and found the small hallway in darkness, he wondered if Cal was at the pub with Max, Lofty and Iain, but his voce suddenly made Ethan jump.
"I told Lily "
Cal nodded. "I saw, mate " He said in a flat voice. He wasn't dissopointed, he just hoped that Ethan would have told him what he was planning to say.
Ethan took a seat on the couch and picked up a magazine, and he stared as his hand started to shake as he turned the page over.
He knew it was a symptom of the condition.
"No, please " He stared.
Cal slide an arm around Ethan's shoulders and held him close.
"Listen, mate, it's all going to be alright " Cal knew all that he could do was comfort him.
