Chapter 242
Alex started panicking as Asher is still a baby an did not build up a strong immune system just yet. She is hoping he is just having a runny nose and that it was not the same flu type of illness her husband's symptoms are resembling at the moment. Alex drove down to the daycare to get Asher and Phoebe while Ryan got out of bed looking for something to eat downstairs. He was hot, literally, and sweating so much that he thought he might be dehydrated by the time his wife got back. Settling for some orange juice he sat down on the couch and switched on the TV, looking for something interesting to watch. He barely swallowed half of the contents when a hacking cough started making it difficult for him to breathe. When he finally managed to catch his breath he felt like he ran a marathon. Something he wouldn't normally do, he did. Picking up the phone and scheduling a doctor's appointment. It was usually Alex who did this kind of thing but he felt too ill to wait it out. Heading up to take a shower to make it in time for his appointment in the next hour.
Turned out Asher was fine, he just had a moment of restlessness as Alex took him to the doctor on the way home. He had a runny nose and a cough but it was nothing major to worry about unlike whatever it was that his father had. They entered the house and heard the shower running upstairs. Alex put Asher down in the car seat on the floor instructing his sister to keep an eye on him while she took the stairs to check up on her husband. The shower stopped when she entered the bedroom and the bathroom door opened. A red faced Ryan who was couching violently were revealed in the doorway.
"Are you alright?" Alex asked concerned, Ryan too busy catching his breath were unable to answer her at the moment.
"I'm going to the doctor in half an hour, will you be able to drive me?" He breathed looking up at her. Before she left the house she though he was being a typical guy when it comes to sickness looking for some attention but right now she was actually worried about him.
"Yes, I'll call someone to look after the kids. Get dressed so long I'll ta…" But before she could finish her sentence another coughing fit overtook her husband. As soon as the cough passed his breathing were so shallow and fast as if he's been doing strenuous exercise.
"H..hurry up, p…le..ase." He breathed causing a new wave of panic that overtook his wife.
It's short guys but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things again. What do you think is wrong with Ryan? Thank you for reading
