Chasing After My Wife Chapter 256
Advertisement
Travis saw her sleeping on the couch. He wanted to call her but he can't seem to find his voice. He felt so weak and even lifting his hand took a toll on him. He didn't even get the chance to look at her for a long time and he fell unconscious again.
Jillyanna was sound asleep from exhaustion and didn't notice his weak movements or his weak call. She slept until the sun was brightly illuminating the world outside. The cool breeze blew the curtains, swinging it to and fro and the birds started chirping, calling their friends and families to join them.
But Jillyanna's eyes wasn't on them. She couldn't seem to hear anything and she felt numb. Her eyes were straight on Travis' hand which was already limply hanging on the side of his hospital bed.
She immediately checked her monitor to see if there was anything abnormal but everything's fine. "Top? Top come inside." she called for the chief of the security who guarded the place at night. Even if Hawk and Savannah was already there, he would not leave until he wakes up to make sure that he won't miss any questions from her.
Top opened the door and saw the panic-stricken face of Jillyanna. "Yes young madam?"
"Last night, after I went to sleep, did anyone come inside to see Travis?"
"No, madam. No one came to visit him."
"Really?" she was still unsure but she felt something was amiss. "Alright, you can go home now. Take good care of yourself and have a plenty of rest."
"Yes young madam. I'll head out now. Take care." Top bowed his head and walked out of the room, leaving the confused Jillyanna by herself.
"It's impossible. I clearly remembered that I put his hand on his tummy." she mumbled softly to herself in disbelief. Still doubting, she placed a gentle kiss on his face and went back to fold the expandable couch. Just as she was roaming around to prepare herself for work, she caught sight of the mini camera she placed under the TV.

"Oh right! I placed a cam to see Travis but I haven't been checking on it lately since mom kept watch on him." she stopped whatever she was planning on doing and pulled out her laptop. She looked for the video recordings and used a time-lapse to see what happened after she fell asleep.
She watched the video intently and ignored everyone who came inside. She knew no one can get inside without passing through Hawk's inspection, so she felt safe.
"What are you watching?" It was Shein who came to find her before going to work. It had been more than a week since he worked with Jillyanna but he would always come to see her first before going to work.
"I'm watching my husband." she replied, almost a whisper because she was so focused on the video.
Shein was about to ask her another thing when he saw Jillyanna's eyes widened. She looked like she saw a ghost or something. "What happened?!" Shein asked in worry and came to sit beside her so he could watch it, too.
Savannah and Hawk were also alarmed to see her reaction specially that she mentioned she was watching Travis.
Jillyanna replayed the video and allowed Shein to watch it with her. In the recording, she clearly saw the moment Travis opened his eyes. He seemed to be saying something but they couldn't hear his voice. And he lifted his hand as if to reach Jillyanna who was sleeping not far from him. It was less than a minute footage and if there wasn't a video, you would think that everything was just made of your imagination.
"Oh my god! Call the doctor immediately." Shein told Savannah who ran out of the door as soon as she heard him. "That was...oh god! We aren't imagining things, right?"

"That is my concern, too. They might think I'm going crazy from being worried all day and that I am starting to imagine things." Jillyanna slouched on the couch and felt helpless."But we both watched it, and you saw it. It wasn't just me. Sigh, I don't want to get any false hope."
"Let's wait and see what the doctor can find." Shein rubbed her hair messily to comfort her. "Don't be upset, I don't want an ugly niece or nephew."
"My baby won't be ugly." Jillyanna made a rebuttal and watched the video again. Not long after the doctors came and walked up to her.
"We didn't get any signal in our station. Did something happen?" The lead doctor asked Jillyanna while the other doctors and nurse checked Travis to make sure that he was fine.
"Can you watch this for me?" Jillyanna gave him the laptop which displayed the emaciated figure of the once fit and good-looking man. She pressed the play button and let the doctor watched it, who had a smile on his lips when the video ended. "It is not my imagination, right?"
"It is not Mrs. Madrigal. This is a good sign for his recovery. Some patients would just wake up instantly as if they were just having a long dream. Some patients would take their time and would wake up for certain amount of time before falling unconscious again. Your husband is the latter case. His body is coping with the damage and adjusting to his recovery. He will wake up and fall unconscious several times. As time goes by, he will have longer conscious time and will recover soon."
A tear fell on the cold floor after relief washed over her anxiety. It was a tear of joy. Her persistent attitude rewarded her with happiness that only Travis can give. She was so happy with the good news.
"Thanks doc. Thank you for helping us." Jillyanna smiled at the doctor while wiping her tears away.
"No problem Mrs. Madrigal. We will have another stimuli test later and we will let you know of the result when you get back from work."
After reassuring her that Travis was safe, the doctors and nurses left with big smiles.

Familiar In Chains
Familiar: A magical beast of one type or another which forms a magical bond with a mage who possesses a similar magical trait. Thus entering into a master-servant contract. Due to their abilities as a familiar, they possess all of the intelligence and knowledge of a human alongside the instincts and nature of a beast. Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

blacklight
So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.
