Alistair helps Theodore

The doctor arrived and checked Theodore, "how is he doctor?", Martha asked.

"the fever is back again. I hope we are able to get him through this", the doctor said as he started bringing out his medical supplies.

Martha stood by as the doctor with the help of the servants tried to bring the fever down. She waited anxiously and prayed for Theodore to get better.

Theodore had always been a sickly child, his childhood had been filled with sicknesses and most times, it had been unclear whether he would able to make it. She prayed that he would be able to make it this time. He still had a lot to live for, her boy couldn't die now, he just couldn't.

The doctor finally finished, "how is he doctor?", his parents asked.

"the fever has gone down but he has gone into a coma",

"oh no! How long do you think he will be in a coma?",

"I cannot give you a definite answer, he is very sick and it could take some time. I have instructed the servants on how to take care of him and I will drop by regularly
