We are getting deeper into this mystery...
Lois awoke the next day feeling more rested then she had in days. The talk with Superman had gone a long way in putting to rest her fear of losing Clark. She knew Clark had tried repeatedly to convince her that she shouldn’t worry, but it was Superman’s reassurance that finally penetrated her subconscious. As a result, Linda King was delightfully absent in her dreams.
Oh dear, it looks like Lois is putting more stock in Superman's thoughts than in Clark's. After all he's her partner!
“Well, I stayed late and ran some preliminary tests last night, a basic blood test or a biopsy test depending on the sample. They don’t take very long. There’s not much, but I can tell you that all the samples are from relatively healthy males. I can send copies of the preliminary blood work and pathology reports when I’m done, which should be sometime this evening.”
These are the preliminary results which always make me wonder what the in-depth results will reveal.
“I started havin’ this weird skin problem near the end of the season. I didn’t think much of it at the time but by Christmas, it had gotten much worse. A month later, I was diagnosed with a rapidly progressing rare autoimmune disorder. He called it Scleroderma. I’d never heard of it, but it fit the symptoms.”
This is a scary disease. Hopefully the good doctor's treatment did not bring it on. You writing of this scene was excellent: Lois did a good job of handling the interview without crying. I couldn't have done it....
“So, it sounds like we have a busy night ahead of us?”
“I hope your schedule’s free.”
Clark flashed his megawatt smile. “For you, it is.”
“Good. Let’s finish up dinner, and then get to work.”
Good to see they patched up their differences and are now ready to get down to work. LOL! Clark is always ready to spend time with his favorite burnette!
