Unforgettable Night.

Ina stood up and walked towards her, throwing herself in his arms as she sobbed harder.

Damien picked her up in his arms and walked towards the bed, sitting down with her in his arms.

"Shh, Everything will be alright, now stop crying and tell me what happened and what caused this cut on your forehead?" He spoke to her in a gentle voice while he patted the back of her head slowly in a comforting manner. 

Ina lifted her and tugged her hair behind her ear and looked up at him while he wiped her tears with his thumb.

"I don't know what is happening, Sometimes I woke up with this unbearable pain in my body or the feeling of burning sensation in my feet, I tried to ignore them thinking that it will go away with time and it's nothing serious, but it didn't like today, I needed help to get to the classroom and when the lecture started. I started to feel light-headed. It was that my brain was foggy and for a minute I couldn't recognise anything around me." Ina spoke as more tears fell from her eyes.

Damien didn't say anything and just continued to listen to her, he too started to be worried about hearing what was happening with her, could the doctor have mistaken her condition and given the wrong diagnosis?

"It was like I didn't know what I'm doing there and suddenly I fall asleep in the classroom, and when I was in the bathroom I felt this sharp pain in my legs, I lost my balance and fall hitting my forehead, I'm scared Damien, something is happening with me and I'm afraid that it's serious." Ina said as her lips trembled and her eyes were full of fear. 

"Don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing, now the first thing we need to do now is. make you eat something and rest and tomorrow we will go to the doctor again, Okay." Damian tried to not scare her more than she already is.

Nodding her head, Ina stood up from his lap and the two of them walked out of the room going towards the dining room, Damien asked Alison to bring the food.

Damian tried to make Ina eat her food but she ended up eating only two bits before she excused herself and went to the study room and he followed her.

Entering the room, Damien found her sitting Infront of her laptop reading something, he walked towards her and took a look at what she was reading.

"I wrote the symptoms that I have been having and Google it and this came out as a result." Ins said standing up letting Damien take her seat.

Damien sat down and started to read what she was reading and tried to not show any emotions not wanting her to be scared more than she already is.

Turning off the laptop, he stood up and guided her out of the room walking towards their room.

After changing his clothes to his sleepwear, he joined In on the bed and pulled her into his arms.

"Do think I'm sick with something serious, like what we read on the internet now?" Ina asked as she looked up at him.

Damian pressed his lips on her forehead in a lingering kiss.

"Sleep now and stop overthinking." Damien said, placing his hand on her eyes forcing her to shut them.

Ina sighed and felt a little bit of secureness with him by her side.

...

The next morning, at 9 AM.

Damien woke up before Ina but didn't leave the bed not wanting her to wake up, he had nearly slept last night thinking about what was happening with Ina, the doctor had told him that her tests and reports are clean, what is happening with her now, and after reading what Ina showed him last night, he was more worried but he didn't want to believe what he had read.

He picked up his phone and contacted his secretary here in London and asked her to call the doctor and make an appointment.

Damien was about to close his eyes when he heard Ina make a sound in her sleep as if she was in pain.

"Ina." Damien called as he cupped the side of her face and she opened her eyes slowly.

"It hurts." She breathed and closed her eyes tightly and the tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

"What hurts? where?" Damien asked as he removed the blanket that was covering her body.

"My legs." Ina replied as she inhaled sharply during her face on the pillow.

Damien pulled up her nightgown up to her knees and placed her legs on his lap and started to massage them gently it was painful at first to the point that she started to sob loudly but after some time the pain started to reduce as he continued messaging her legs.

Ten minutes later, the pain and the muscle spasms stopped but it left her tried and exhausted.

"Shh, don't cry Ina, it's just muscle spasms, it happens to me when I work out a lot or sometimes it happens when the person doesn't work out." Damien said as he removed her hair that was covering her face.

But the poor girl continued crying as she buried her face in his chest, her body was tumbling as if she was cold but it was out of fear, they stayed like this for a while until she finally calmed down.

"You became such a cry baby." Damien said, trying to make her laugh.

Ina chuckled as she rubbed her eyes that were hurting her due to the crying.

Damien bent down placing kisses all over her face before he picked her up and walked towards the bathroom to take a warm and relaxing bath together. 

"I want to take a sick leave from college." Ina spoke with her eyes closed as she leaned against Damien's chest as they were in the tube.

Damien ran his fingertips along the bare skin of her shoulder before he dropped a kiss on it. 

"If that's what you want, then it's okay." replied. 

Opening her eyes she turned to look at him."I want you to help to apply for the sick leave, I don't want to go there, at least not now." Ina said.

Damian noticed how Ina self-confidence was very low and there was a look of sadness and fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will take everything." He replied and watched as she leaned her head back on his chest and closed her eyes again.

...

Two hours later.

Ina got dressed and waited for Damien to get ready, they were going to the doctor, and she was anxious and scared from the unknown and the long process of tests and scenes that needed to be done. 

"I'm ready, let's go." Damien said as he wore his coat and walked towards her offering her his hand and she took it holding into it tightly.

...

At the hospital, The examination room.

The doctor looked through Ina medical reports after he listened to her as she told him about the symptoms that she has been having lately.

"For now I can't give an exact diagnose until I do some more tests and repeat the old once, I know that it's rather exhausted but let's try to make it go smoothly, I'm going to add two more tests, an evoked potential tests and a lumbar puncture, the second one we are tomorrow morning." The doctor said and watched how his patient was scared and worried.

"Miss Ina, I'm going to ask you to please note go to the internet and try to find out what is happening with you, it's just going to stress you more and will make the process of tests appear to be scary, what I want you to do is have a good time with your boyfriend today and make sure to have a good night sleep, okay." The doctor spoke as he looked at her.

"I will try but I can't promise anything." Ina said and the doctor nodded her head.

After the conversation with the doctor, Ina was escorted by the nurse to prepare her for the tests, Damien never left her side even in the IMR scan room. 

After the scans and the tests, Ina was put in the patient's room to rest after the long process.

"How do you feel?" Damien asked as he sat beside her on the bed as he took her hand in his.

"Tired and scared." Ina replied looking at him, her eyes full of worry.

"Will this lumbar puncture hurt? I never heard of something like this before." Ina asked as she moved closer to Damien wrapping her arms around his waist as she buried her face in his chest. 

Rubbing her back gently. He replied."I don't know but I will be right there with you, you can even bite my hand if you needed to."

Damien jocked and heard her laugh as she looked up at him smiling.
