Chapter 25

Two weeks later:

Tyler's POV

Kenny's infection was almost gone, and her immune level too seemed to be pretty good.

Now the issue was with her stress levels.

It's been almost three weeks since Kenny passed out, and her stress levels have barely reduced.

We've tried every kind of medication, but her body isn't responding as well as we thought it would.

I don't want to increase the dosage of medications, as it may have terrible side effects on her brain. That would increase the chances of memory loss.

That's something we don't want.

So, we've decided to go slow with the medication and not rush to reduce her stress levels.

Her leukemia report was pretty good. Three chemotherapies have done a pretty good job. Probably another round of it, and we're good.

It's just that I want her stress levels to get back to normal as soon as possible.

It worries me every day.

Things have been pretty stressful at the hospital too. I've ignored Alexa ever since the little drama at her apartment took place. Jason acts crazily weird around me. Erin and Danica are just two depressed humans, and Ben's efforts to cheer them up are in vain.

And me? I don't know what about me.

It's just that I miss Kenny way too much. It's like we're so close yet so far away.

I couldn't imagine that I existed in my life, and then suddenly I met Kenna, and now I just can't imagine my life without her.

I have done nothing but talk to her for the past few days. I tell her about everything. About my day, about my chat with my patients, about my plans for our future, about how much I miss her, and about how much I love her.

I know she can't hear me or respond, but she's all I've got.

Today was another such day.

As I sit on her bed alone with her, I tell her about today.

I begin by telling her about the crazy traffic on my way to Travenford, my entire day spent thinking about her and focusing on the patients in between, ignoring Alexa, having a little chat with Erin and Danica, and lastly, how much I love and miss her.

As I keep talking, I notice her breaths are getting deeper.

I start to feel weary, so I lay next to her on her tiny bed.

I wrapped my right arm around her like I had done every single day for the past few days.

As I nuzzled into the side of Kenny's neck, the monitors around us beeped differently.

The cardiac, hemodynamic, and body temperature monitors on the vital parameters were stable except for one.

That was pulse oximetry, which monitors the percentage of saturated oxygen in the blood.

The average pulse oximetry readings usually range from 90–100%, and values below 90% are considered low.

Kenny's was 86% and was rapidly dropping lower with every passing second.

I quickly get up and do what is necessary in order to get her oxygen level back to normal.

After a few minutes of shuffling around the room, her oxygen level was slowly increasing and would soon be stable.

Her oxygen level almost dropped to 56%, which was crazy.

I would probably lose my girl today.

As the vitals were stable, I climbed back onto her bed, as I had earlier, and nuzzled against her neck, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her closer to me.

I looked at her. She looked gorgeous, even though she was wrapped among these monstrous wires and needles.

Drowsiness was slowly taking over me, and I could feel myself slipping away into a slumber.

It's been an absolutely tiring day!

I pecked her right cheek lightly, slowly closing my eyes and savoring the feel of her body against mine.

A few seconds later, I felt a faint movement against my right thigh.

I looked down only to see the slightest movement of Kenny's fingers.

Oh, my good Lord.

It's finally happened.

A/N:
Hey guys!
I'm sorry.

1. Because this chapter is short.

2. Because it's also shitty.

I had a writer's block, but then a lot of you wanted me to post today, and I just couldn't disappoint you all. So, something's better than nothing😛

And I wanted to show some sign of hope for Kenna's recovery, and here it is! Our girl's finally recovering!!

Also, I messed up pretty badly in terms of explaining the medical stuff; please excuse me!!😂
