Chapter 10

Waking up to the sun shining in his face, Lou yawned. Hearing knocking on his bedroom door, Lou got out of bed. On his way to the door his father butler came in pulling a cart behind him.

“Good morning young master, hungry yet?” his father’s butler asked cheerfully.

“Good morning, sir, I’m not sure?”

His father’s butler moved to a specific spot before tapping the floor. Out of the floor came a table and two benches.

“I’ll leave you a manual on the different devices and electronics available in your room. Your father wanted to provide you with everything he can since he rarely sees you!”

Taking a seat his father butler placed the tray onto the table alongside two cups, one filled with milk and the other one emptied with a jug filled with icy cold water. As the butler lifted the lid off of the tray for Lou to be embraced by the delicious, mouth-watering armour of home cooked food. For breakfast, it was eggs and bacon with the butler’s world-famous secret sauce.

“Thank you for breakfast sir!”

“Your welcome young master. I’ll come back later to pick up the empty plates and cups. I think its best for you to stay in your room to rest and recover. If you desire to go outside, I have placed chairs outside for you!”

“Thank you, sir!”

Lou begun to eat the food when the door closed. He saw that the butler had placed some crushed pills into his food and most likely drinks. ‘Guess his more worried about my health than I thought’. Finally finishing off as much food and milk as he could, Lou felt the pills slowly start to take effect. ‘Think I should take a nap outside under the sun’ Lou thought with a yawn. Going onto the roof Lou laid on the sunbed beneath a sun cover so that there was enough shade and less chance of getting sunburnt, Lou fell into a peaceful sleep. Slightly waking up Lou felt that he was being carried before going back to sleep. He suspected that it was the butler putting him to bed whenever he was sick. Waking up Lou felt so alive and energized like never before, guess he was feeling sicker than he thought. Looking around, he noticed that there was a booklet sitting on one of the side tables near him. Picking it up the booklet title read ‘5th main bedroom manual’. ‘This will keep me busy for a while’ Lou thought. Opening the manual Lou was surprised that the second page after the description was touch face. A few were locked and when pressed said access only allowed when healthy. Deciding to try one of the available ones, Lou pressed the television button. The pages turned on their own before stopping at one that displayed the word television on the top with an illustration below before the body of text. Quickly scanning the page, Lou looked at the side table that the manual had been sitting on. Leaning over Lou saw that there was a ladybug craved into it and pressed it. The side of the table moved up and a drawl opened with a remote resting on it. Taking the remote, Lou pressed the button again so that the drawl returned. Pressing the on button on the remote, the floor opened, and a television slowly came up out of it.

Flipping through the pages Lou found the DVD page, reading it he pressed the D button on the remote and watched as the top of the side table moved to the side while a DVD display cabinet came out. Looking through the selection, Lou ended up choosing a nature documentary one. Pushing the chosen DVD cover in, Lou watched in awe as the cabinet went back down and the tabletop back on before the television begun to play. While listening to the documentary Lou retuned back to the content page before deciding to look at one more since his head was starting to hurt. Deciding that it would be best to know how to contact staff in case he needed help, Lou pressed that specific button. The next thing Lou remembered were glimpses of bright white lights before darkness overtook him. Regaining full consciousness Lou found himself inside of a hospital room with the devices and wires connected to him. Carefully sitting up Lou crawled to the end of the bed and grabbed his medical notes from the tray before getting back under the covers. Flipping though the pages Lou took notice on his heart condition and how his stress levels were not well before quickly placing the notes onto the side table before the hospital door opened. Inside came his father’s butler and a doctor.

“How is my health?” Lou asked hoping to get a better understanding of his current situation.

“You should be doing fine now; you had been experiencing difficulty breathing due to high levels of stress after the recent events so it has been decided that you will stay here for a few days for observation in case something goes wrong!” the doctor replied professionally like he always did.

“Ok” Lou replied, expecting that response while not bothering to study their faces since they were masters at hiding their actual expressions.

‘Maybe I’ll have a better chance getting more information from a nurse’ Lou thought, deciding to wait until one comes into his room along.

“Young master I’ll try to visit you as much as possible!”

“Please focus on my parents so that I won’t have to worry about their condition”.

“I understand young master, but you are also someone I am responsible for!’”

“Cough, it might be best for us to let Lou rest and recover since he had just awoken up. Before you head home, I need to talk to you about some things!”

“I understand, I’ll see you later young master!”

“See you later sir!” Lou replied as he watched his father’s butler leave the room and the door closed.

Grabbing the remote Lou turned on the television. There wasn’t much on beside a nature documentary which appeared to already be halfway through. Resting for a bit Lou quickly glanced at the door to see that his father’s butler quickly moved out of view. Because how quickly he moved, Lou wasn’t sure, but he thought that there was a look of worry and sadness on his face. ‘Guess I better wait a while longer before taking a better look at the doctor’s notes’ Lou thought as he returned his attention to the documentary. Even through the documentary was a good distraction, it was a boring episode. When the episode finally ended, Lou glanced back at the door, seeing no one.

Picking up the doctor’s notes, Lou begun to go over it in more detail. It appeared that his heart condition had started to get worse as his dosage of medication had been increased and he was going to be placed onto a heart transplant list in two years or sooner if his condition got worse. ‘Guess I’m not doing that well, do they still believe I can’t read the doctor’s writing after these constant visits?’ Lou thought with a weak smile before placing the notes down. Returning his attention to the television, Lou begun searching for a new show or movie to watch, there was nothing interesting. Wishing that there was something he could do, Lou remembered his phone. Looking around Lou realised that it wasn’t anywhere to be found but decided to wait until his father’s butler returns to ask about it. Picking a random channel Lou placed the remote down before closing his eyes and trying to fall back asleep. It was easy with the sedative connected to his arm through one of the tubes, a normal thing for him.
