Chapter 58 Chapter fifty-seven

The director of CERN, Maximilian Kohler, opened his eyes and watched the cold solution of sodium cromoglycate and leukotrienes injected into his body, gradually inflating his bronchi and capillaries in his lungs. He was breathing normally again.He found himself lying in an intensive care unit of the "European Nuclear Center" hospital, with a wheelchair next to the bed. He inspected the paper smock they had put on him, and found his clothes folded on a chair by the bed.He heard the nurse rounding the ward outside.After lying there for a long while listening, he moved as quietly as possible to the side of the bed and retrieved his clothes, dragged his unconscious legs with difficulty, put on his clothes, and sat down in the wheelchair. , He suppressed his cough, turned the wheelchair and moved towards the door.He turned the car with his hands, being careful not to touch the motor.At the door, he looked out. The hallway was empty.

Maximilian Kohler quietly slipped out of the hospital.
