Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 126

When I got to the hospital, I was taken for a gynecological check–up while Neil waited outside.

I gave the doctor a brief rundown of my situation, followed by a series of tests. The results didn’t seem optimistic The doc suggested I stay in the hospital for a bit, which seriously bummed me out. I felt like a deflated balloon.
