For three long excruciating days, the withdrawal symptoms ruled the ordinarily quiet manor . Henry had tried to bear it, but his patience often had run thin . Ellie had warned him that it would be difficult and to stay away, but he had paid no heed to her warning . When she was feverish in nightmares, he sat by her side . Michael was getting close to retirement so Henry had him go in batches with the nurses so he could get some rest . When the nurses grew tired, he dismissed all the unnecessary staff . Michael was often sitting late writing up notes to send to Dr Wu . Henry had offered to help, but Michael had refused, informing him that it was a small task that he need not bother with .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntFinally Henry had cornered Dr . Wu after one of her visitations . "Ellie's not getting better . I think we should take her to a hospital . I can't stand watching her carry on like this . She needs some kind of intervention . Three days of this just feels like too long . "

Wu looked at him blankly as she too looked exhausted . Finally she looked at him with an emotion at most akin to pity . "I understand your feeling . But I can't really say with this situation . It varies person to person with this sort of thing . I don't know how badly her body has been affected by the drug . I mean we could be here up to a week . But the patient is a very tenacious patient so I a.s.sume G.o.d willing that she'll be cleared up in less time . "

"That's not rea.s.suring . "

"This is her choosing . She asked you not to involve yourself . What you're doing is getting yourself dangerously involved with her . "

Henry narrowed his eyes and hurried off in a huff . Michael and Wu watched his retreating form with an exchanged glance . Michael set down his pen, "What did you do that for? It's not a bad thing for him to care . She is his wife . He has every right to . "

"He is getting on my nerves . " Wu said finally . "He shouldn't be moping about like I'm actually making a difference . Ellie's body is healing at it's own rate . I can't do anything about it because she wants to have it her way . Because he can't get angry with her, he's starting with me . I'm not a fairy G.o.dmother here to grant his every wish . He could just try to talk to her . "

"Not while she's like this . She's not fit to be seeing anyone . Henry puts himself in there when everyone's tired . You shouldn't be so hard on him . It's a strange situation for all of us . We all adapt at our own rates . "

"Then maybe Henry should take some antidepressants and talk to a therapist . It would do all of us a good load of good . He really needs to make up his mind already what he wants to do with her . He can't sit in the middle unaffected for much longer . "
