Reassurance

Dr. Lewis reassured the family by explaining that the measures were for their safety as well as the creature’s. “We need to understand her fully before we make any decisions,” he said in a calm but serious voice. Jane nodded, although the worry in her eyes remained unmistakable. Sarah wiped her tears and tried to be brave. “How long will it take?” asked Tom. Dr. Lewis sighed, “A few days maybe, we need to run thorough tests.” The family could only wait, their hearts heavy with worry.

In a mixture of relief and sadness, the family has been advised not to talk about what happened until further notice. “We don’t want to cause any unnecessary panic,” explained Dr. Lewis. Jane and Tom agreed, recognizing the seriousness of the situation. Sarah, still with tears in her eyes, nodded reluctantly. “Let’s get you home,” Tom said gently, trying to lift Sarah’s spirits. The drive back passed in silence, each family member lost in their own thoughts and processing the events of the day.
