The hallucination not that much.

~~~~~~~~~~Is it over now?~~~~~~~~~

He quickly drove to the hospital and just before he entered Stevie's room, he saw that Max and the two other doctors were checking on her again. Thinking that they would take some time in doing so , so Andrew was carelessly roaming up and down in the hospital.

The then walked across a silent lobby. over there he saw a room that had Max's name on it. It was his office, he recalled going there a few days ago to inquire Max about Stevie when he first visited  Italy and just got to know about this case.  So he wondered why not wander in Max's office for a bit. He walked towards it and to his bombshell, the door was not locked, in fact not even latched. This was extremely rare for Max to do, since he always locked his office if he left to attended a patient or was in the caffetteria eating. It was as though it was waiting for him to go in. And so Andrew did go in , with zero hesitation.

As Andrew walked in , he did something , the knew he would thank himself for but also regret doing. Andrew started  fidgeting and touching files on other patients cases. But then he came across Stevie's medical file and found a picture in it. Remember Rave? It was a picture of Stevie and Rave. Andrew knew it was Rave as the picture had Rave's and Stevie's name written on it .  Andrew turned pale , he had zero words left. Right that very second that Andrew discovered  what he saw, Max was standing right behind him.  Max did not know that Andrew had that picture in his hand, he just saw Andrew in his office, since his back was turned to him.

"What are you doing here? In my office?" Asked Max.

Andrew turned red, he had been caught red handed. But thought to himself that quick lie would work here, as it was for a good cause after all.

"Um i think i saw a rat." Said Andrew, slowly and sneakily keeping the picture in his front pocket.

"Oh really, i just had the pest control come by yesterday."

"Oh um. I didn't know what i saw." Said Andrew still lying.

"Hmm you didn't know what you saw. Alright why don't you turn around." Says Max.

Andrew then slowly , very nervously turns around.

"Hmm okay. So you wanted to see Stevie." Says Max looking at the both sides of Andrew. Trying to figure out if he took something or was hiding anything.

"yes that will do."

And with that Max escorted Andrew to Stevie's hospital bed. She was sitting up straight and looking right at them when they walked in.

"Hi , how are you?" Asked Andrew.

"Good. My feet hurt a tad bit, but nothing that i cannot handle." Says Stevie.

"Look , i am concern for you Stevie. This is the fourth time this attack has happened. I told you what happened when the fifth one takes place in your reality. " Says Andrew , taking a seat next to Stevie.

"But wait, Andrew , i couldn't have Stigmata. Look." Says Stevie looking a picture of Jesus , pointing to the nails/holes on his hands (the second suffering he was put through).

"He has the holes on his palms, i have them on my wrists. I am pretty sure that there is a difference between the two." Says Stevie now looking back at Andrew.

"Not really. Scientifically if  mythology was true, due to the  proposition of the body , palms can not balance the weight of the entire body. The only part of the hand that can do that is wrists." Explained Andrew to Stevie.

"Oh , that's unfortunate." Says Stevie.

Andrew and Stevie then continued to speak and make each other smile and laugh. They felt the warmth of one and others voice , be and comfort their soul.
