Josh Dobbs Sickness Novels & Stories

Josh cupped his face, looking at him with so much love in his eyes that Bolt felt guilty of thinking bad about him. Bolt just hugged him tightly, letting him fuss over him for a while before Josh took him to sit on the couch. Only then his parents came to hug him and ask him questions. “I am so sorry babe. I was called for a backend support at the other side of the city and I was hit and I was unconscious for I don’t know how long and then I came home as soon as the doctor cleared me. I wanted to talk to you, but I lost my mobile. I couldn’t tell you anything. I am so sorry”. Bolt held Josh’s hands who was shaking his head.

My throat felt dry, and I was instantly dehydrated. “Sir, you're reacting more than I did the first time I handled an exchange. Maybe you should wait outside until it's done. I heard the aconic fever is a serious issue. Whatever these companies are dispersing into the air, it's making people fall sick,” Josh spoke, turning to me. I only got one thing out of everything he said. ‘I was reacting more than he did the first time he made the exchange.’ And how the hell doesn't he know what he's releasing into the atmosphere? The naivety of mundanes always baffled me.

So naturally, he’d just have to bear with her. Josh pinched his forehead helplessly once again. He slowly walked back into the ward and sat next to Annabeth. Josh then called his friend who worked as a doctor in the municipal hospital’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. Josh told his friend that his assistant was pregnant and needed an abortion… Josh asked him to keep things hushed. His friend agreed without asking much about it… After everything had been discussed and sorted out, Josh looked at Annabeth’s lower abdomen with mixed feelings.

"Joshua, Lorelei is sick! She's already showing signs of a medical episode! It's going to be too late if you don't stop now!" But Joshua was unconvinced.

He called out sharply, averting Toby's full attention to him. "How was today? How do you feel lately—I mean I know you look happier but I'm just asking 'bout your health. Do you feel pains in your joints and how's the fever?" Doctor Lewis asked, taking a notepad and a pen to carry out a physical examination. "Lately I haven't felt any much pain...I mean, I did. But they weren't extreme. I feel alot dizzy and a bit weak. It's like my whole body crumbling inside of me." Toby reported.

They kept arguing about it when a foreign voice caught their attention. "Mr. Roberts?" The doctor called. "Yes?" both of them replied confusing the doctor. "Who is related to Mrs. Roberts?" She asked. Both nodded their head and the doctor frowned in response. She guided them to her office. She asked them to sit down. Jason sat down while Micheal stood wiping the blood away. "What happened?" Jason asked impatiently. "She passed out due to low blood pressure and lack of oxygen." "Has Mrs. Roberts been experiencing Morning sickness?" She asked both of them, not sure whom to address.

This was more than what he could take in. In a swift movement, Joshua stoop up and clutched the doctor's cloth roughly. His dirty hands stained the doctor's coat but he cared less. "What did hell did you just said?! Don't tell me that! Don't!" He screamed, piercing the doctor eardrum, the doctor was also trying to free himself. "Did she die?! Did she!" With the help of David and her stepmom they were able to drag Joshua from the doctor, by now he was breathing heavily, the information refused to sink in, it stayed at the surface of his cerebellum.

Ice-cold water crashed over my head, shocking me awake. My back stung as the water hit the open lashes, and a violent shiver ran through me. My teeth wouldn’t stop chattering. Luca stood in front of me, face dark with anger. “Helena almost suffocated just now. The doctor says she was scared. What did you say to her?” I coughed twice, more blood slipping from the corner of my mouth. The metallic taste clung to my throat.

That whole day, I was barred from class, cornered in the office by the other parents and teachers, all of them telling me off. Then, there he was, ready to swallow his pride, but not for me. I snorted softly. "The dean's on his way. Just wait for him to get here." Killing time, I picked up the papers Yale slammed on the desk and thumbed through them. Josh's symptoms were a dead ringer for the hormone disorder I was studying, and he was already slipping into a coma. Time was running out, and death was knocking at the door. If we did not step in soon, the guy would not make it more than a couple of weeks.

Josh must have been wondering why Daniel had not come in yet. Josh saw Sabrina and smiled. "Hey." "Hey Josh, how are you do..." Her voice strayed away as she saw Josh's pale face. She fastened her steps to the couch and sat beside him. "Are you okay?" She touched his forehead and felt he was having a high temperature. She saw the thermometer in Josh's hand and took it from him. Her eyes widened when the thermometer read 106.2°F. "You need to go to the hospital Josh." Josh shook his head and said. "No i don't want to."
