The End Of Life Chapter 38
Advertisement
Just like how Susan predicted, Mark got completely healthy in 3 more days. His progress was just too shocking for Susan. Now she was before him, checking his health to give a permit to leave the hospital wing. As she flipped through the pages on her clipboard, she kept nodding to herself making Mark a bit confused.
"All right, Mark. You can now leave. A soldier will bring you some fresh clothes in a while and you can change out of the hospital robe you are wearing." and walked away.
Mark simply sat on his bed and stretched a bit to see if there was any pain left. He figured out that his body could somehow cure faster. He felt weird about this and knew this might bring some unwanted problems for him and decided to talk with General Cox about this.
After a while, a soldier came up with a pair of new fresh clothes for him and Mark slowly changed out of the hospital robe which he was already tired of. He got a plain white shirt with some cameo jeans. He placed the hospital robe on the bed as he took out the bag and slung it over his shoulder.
He got out of the ward he was present in and noticed the soldier standing there waiting for him. Mark raised an eyebrow at him and the soldier said that the general wanted to talk to him once he was ready. He accepted as he also needed to have a chat with the general.
The soldier led Mark through the hallway before both of them made their way down and exited the building they were in. Mark continues to observe through the hallway. He noticed a few people wearing hospital robes like him in the building, and the soldier explained that these people who were rescued recently are getting tested for any virus.

As he followed him out, Mark also noticed the surroundings and got blinded by the sunlight outside and squinted his eyes, trying to adjust his sight. After feeling ok, he slowly opened his eyes once again and observed.
He noticed a vast wall a bit far from him, within 10 meters from him. Noticing some people still reinforcing the wall, he couldn't help but praise the army for taking a swift decision. He then noticed the soldiers patrolling the areas with various guns in their hands, going around in groups.
He continued following the person in front of him and entered the building next to the one he was in. This building had a much better space compared to the one before it was a former office building and now the military took over and started to make changes to it according to their convenience.
He slowly followed the soldier and climbed to the 5th floor. He observed throughout the building there were various officers of the military in the building. He saw a couple of lieutenants and even colonels on the way up.
They reached the end of the corridor and Mark noticed a card with General Cox written on it pasted on the door. The soldier simply knocked on the door and they heard, General's voice on the other side, "Come in."
Both of them entered and Mark looked at the ordinary office room, which was not too big or small but enough to have a couch and a coffee table to the side. He also noticed Steve by Donald's side and nodded as a greeting.
"Sir, As per your request, I bought Mark here." reported the soldier standing in an upright position.
"At ease, you have done a good job and now you may take your leave." and the soldier did not say a single word more and left the office leaving Donald, Mark, and Steve.

"Sit down, Mark." indicating the chair opposite to him.
Mark simply nodded and quietly sat down in a relaxed manner, not thinking much about the person in front of him. But he still managed to not look disrespectful towards him.
Donald smiled and said, "It's good to see you back to health once again."
"Yes, it is good to be back to top shape after that brutal encounter a week back."
"So, Mark, do you have anything you might want to ask before I can tell why I asked you to come here."
"Yes, The first thing I want is my medical reports. I do not want anyone to see them and want you to destroy them," said Mark, starting with the most important thing on his mind. He decided to take those reports and destroy them before he goes out of the room.
Donald simply nodded and opened his drawer and took out Mark's medical reports and placed them on the table. Mark slowly took the file, not breaking eye contact with him, and slowly opened it before checking its contents.
