After seeing the doctor, Leona Grant had a full-body check-up.
Annabelle Linton and the doctor each reviewed a copy of the results. The final conclusion was that it was a common cold, just a particularly severe case that required plenty of rest.
In the end, the two of them bought some medicine and went home.
Leona Grant was coughing constantly, each fit more violent than the last. At times, it sounded as if she were trying to cough up her own lungs.
That evening, Leona Grant was working in her study, her incessant coughing echoing from within.
Annabelle Linton's eyes shifted. She went into her room, locked the door, and took out Leona Grant's lab report.
During the check-up today, she had noticed something on the report.
The specialist probably hadn't seen it, but she had.
A foreign type of cell had appeared in Leona Grant's body.
These cells were milky-white and extremely difficult to detect.
