Monday again.
I'm sorry to announce another disruption to this story. I will be away for a week and a bit babysitting my nephew which means I probably won't be posting as regularly - if at all. The disruption starts from this Friday. Normal service resumes from Wednesday 9th September. I hope to see you then - there is lots of excitement, romance and adventure still to come!
SPOILERS - this week - David has a nasty surprise, the invitations go out for Erica's Hen night and Chandler have a deadline to meet.
...
David wandered into the doctor's lounge to grab a coffee. He had a lot of new data to go through tonight, thanks to Bianca's scan, and needed the caffeine. A medical journal on the table caught his eye as he was leaving and he almost threw his cup across the room in frustration. The headline read; Lazarus: The Key to Eternal Life Has Arrived!
David grabbed the journal and tuned to the article in question. It followed the story of an eleven year old boy in Xuancheng whose his sight was restored after taking part in trial for the new drug. His recovery was the most dramatic of the fourteen out of twenty cases of patients who responded to treatment. Other outcomes listed were a man regaining partial movement in a paralysed right arm, sensation returning to damaged fingers and a cure for ghost leg pain for an amputee.
David sighed in relief. It looked like the corporation who stole his work were still a long way off from understanding it. It gave him hope.
David sighed.
He had hope; he just didn't have a patient.
He'd made a promise to Marissa that he wouldn't approach Bianca with the treatment. He knew himself how opposed Bianca was to spending time in hospital after that had happened. He couldn't really blame her. And she was getting on with her life now. Only David knew deep down he could make it better for her. He wanted to make it better for her.
David would keep his word...
At least until he was one hundred per cent certain he knew what had gone wrong before and had worked out how to put it right.
Bianca was still his best chance. He had been keeping an eye out at the hospital for other likely patients, but there was no one suitable.
He was just so close with Bianca… so close…
David downed the last of his coffee and headed for the door. He had a long night of research ahead of him and a million and one reason to… this time… get it right!
