Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 124: 124: Fatty's Condition

"Well, how is our friend?" Caleb asked. His question made others look at Dr.Klein, also the director of the advanced facility.

Hearing this, Dr.Klein heaves a bitter sigh before opening his mouth.

"I did everything I could. The only thing I could do was to save him. Luckily, the damage to his organs isn't that big deal. There's a lot of bleeding, though. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about his coma."

"Will he ever wake up?" With a worried expression, Luna asked.

Klein looked down at Luna. Due to the height difference. He looks like a father with his kids when the five are standing beside him.

'Is he suffering from gigantism?' Clifford mused internally. After all, Klein was the biggest human that he had ever seen. Although not as big as Apokalips. It was still amazing.

"Yes. He will wake up. But it's unknown when. He's in a deep coma. It may be tomorrow or years, but he will wake up." Klein fixed the hem of his clothes, then turned his back at the five. "Follow me. I guess you already want to see your friend that much."

Caleb, Andre, and Clifford nodded in unison, and they walked behind Klein.

They walked past fifteen rooms before Klein stopped in one particular room with the number 16 written in black on top of the door.

It was a metal door with three gaps of line that allowed the people inside and outside to see each other.

Caleb sighed as he readied himself. He clenched his fist tightly. He might not look worried outside. But felt nothing but sadness for Fatty.

"Well. We are here." Klein pushed the door. A loud metallic creak sounded as the door gradually opened.

Caleb and the others looked at each other. "Let's go."

This time, Klein just stood on the side and smiled at the five teenagers. "Well, I won't accompany you any longer. Just call me if you guys need anything," he said with his voice hoarse.

"We know you have a lot of things on your plate. Thanks for taking care of our dear friend." Andre gave a polite smile, truly grateful to the director for saving Fatty on time.

...

After the director left. The five entered the door. Five bright lights dazzled them, causing the five to cover their eyes with their palms.

"Are hospitals all like this?" Quite annoyed, Luna waited for her eyes to get used to the light before she opened them again.

Caleb chuckled at this.

"We're not in a hospital, you know. It might be similar to that in its function, but it works for different purposes. Did you see it? The only doctor here was Dr.Klein, and the rest were all staff that operate the machines."

"Okay..." Luna felt that she was too stupid to fail to realize that. 'Am I really an idiot?'

Just like that, Caleb and the three scanned the whole room. Similar to the outside, there was nothing but white walls, a white ceiling, and a bed in the corner with a desk beside it.

Caleb stared at the bed. The structure features an adjustable frame made of sturdy metal, allowing for changes in position to meet the patient's needs. It can be raised or lowered as necessary.

A soft and cushioned mattress covers the frame, ensuring that Fatty, who was on top of it, can rest comfortably. The mattress is designed to provide support and prevent bedsores.

On both sides of the bed, there are detachable side rails that can be raised for the patient's safety or lowered to allow for easy access. These rails offer a sense of security.

The base of the bed is equipped with wheels, which make it easily mobile, which Caleb guesses that it simplifies the process of transferring patients within the facility.

What he saw next made his eyes twitch.

'Fuck... Truly an advanced facility.'

An integrated control panel allows for adjustments to the bed's position, including raising the head or foot of the mattress. This feature provides convenience for both the patient and medical staff.

Within the Fatty's reach, a call button is available to summon the assistance of hospital staff when needed. It ensures prompt response to the patient's requests. Unfortunately, Fatty won't need it since he's unconscious all the time. His finger won't click the bottoms by itself, right?

The five went beside Fatty. The previously relaxed mood disappeared. Ten pairs of eyes were directed at Fatty, each with different emotions.

Andre studied Fatty, his eyes betrayed the sadness that he was hiding. 'I will not cry... I will not...'

He repeated this on his mind as he felt his eyes started to get moist. On the bed, Fatty was no longer Fatty. Well, what's that supposed to even mean?

Fatty had lost a lot of weight to the point that his ribs were already visible and yet he didn't have abs as the excess skin had sagged. He looks like a drained plant on a hot summer and one could see the bones visible underneath his skin. Not to mention, his lips were chapped, dry, and pale, just like his skin.

The only thing that was keeping Fatty from dying was the nutrient cabin connected to his bloodstream.

Luna held Fatty's hand. It was warm but rough. "Once you wake up. I'll treat you to every eatery and restaurant in the city. Isn't food what you love? Wake up, damn it. We're waiting for you."

"Fatty, I promise, I'll tour the whole food industry with you. Just wake the hell up. Do you want to get left behind by us? We're about to become Destiny together, you know?" Clifford mumbled.

"Do you remember the taste of tiger meat? There's a lot on it in this city. Didn't you say that your dream is to live in the city? Touch beauty's hands and marry one?" Andre spoke in a hushed tone. Continue your journey with m|v-l'-NovelBin.net

Caleb, on the other hand, didn't intend to say anything. That's just futile. Instead, he would try to find a solution. That's all he could do. Once he had become strong enough, things would be a lot easier.
