Today was the second night that Tom had to stay inside the hospital. Following the advice of their school nurse, Tom had made an appointment and given his situation he didn't have to wait for long. He had quickly been assigned a private room, though he ended up having to sleep over on Monday since the surgeon didn't have any gap to get to him.
Tom didn't mind that. The hospital staff had given him enough pain killers that he had easily slept until Tuesday morning. When he woke up, he saw that he had seventeen missed calls from his mother alone, and nine more from his father. At some point, his father had notified him via a message that the hospital had already informed them and that the two of them would be with him this evening.
With a few more hours to go until his dental surgery, Tom had browsed the web via his phone. The first thing he had searched for was any recent news. He half closed his eyes as he read the headlines expecting to see Gary's name or the headlines reading Werewolf caught, but there was none of that and just news on Billy.
His surgery was rather uneventful. From what he had been told, implanting a new tooth was a rather routine procedure and they had also taken care of the cuts that had appeared in his mouth.
'I wonder how Gary is coping. Where did he run off to after leaving me at the nurse's office? I'm seriously worried. I mean, if he ever found out who did this to me, there's a good chance he could…' Tom gulped. 'Kill those two.'
At that moment, the two people who were responsible for Tom's absence from school burst into the room through the door.
“Tom, how are you feeling? Did the surgery go well? Let's see that beautiful smile of yours.” His mother called out as she rushed over to his bedside. She hugged him to the point that Tom had trouble breathing. He tapped his mother on the shoulder, asking her to release him.
Noticing this, his mother pulled back and allowed Tom to give her a shy smile. It had been a while since he had seen his parents, so it was a bit saddening that he had to be in a hospital for them to find some time. Both of them were still wearing their white lab coats, indicating that they had rushed over from work to visit.
Holly and James Green were like the living embodiments of what one pictured when hearing the word 'scientist', including the thick black glasses on their faces. Tom's mother was blonde and rather good-looking. Her son sometimes lamented that he apparently got more from his father than his mother, including his black hair, which was hard to see given his hair cut.
