"Let me borrow it"

Alicia was fed up with sitting there while knowing nothing and simply letting the physician examine her. 

She knew that something was wrong, but no one was saying anything. If she had been unconscious the entire time, Harold should have been here by now, knowing she was awake. Even Susan would have shown up. Also, Paulina was too jumpy and had been avoiding eye contact with her. 

Alicia had asked the physician if everything was alright, and he quickly said all was well and told her to receive her treatment with a free mind so she would get better on time. She noticed the man also seemed a little wary of her. 

She didn't press Paulina for an answer. She simply took her treatment. She drank whatever she was given, ate whatever she was fed, and let the physician prick her skin with needles until he concluded that she was going to be fine and needed a little rest.
