RESTORATION (a science fiction novel) (RESTORATION (the science fiction trilogy)) Read Online Free PDF

Bobby was going to pull through. 
    Her mother had not told the staff there that Bobby had actually died because she knew that it would be too much for Sarah and that just saying he was in serious condition would be bad enough. 
    They managed to get Sarah on the next flight home in time to see Bobby by the following evening.  They told Sarah the whole story in the car on the way home from the airport and Sarah began sobbing uncontrollably when she heard from her Mother that Bobby had actually died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. 
    Sarah didn’t know anyone personally that had been restored and so she believed that it didn’t really work as advertised.  Her mother reassured her that it did in fact work perfectly and Bobby was still just as much Bobby as he ever was. 
    “Just wait until you see him you won’t believe it!  It really is Bobby,” said Linsey. 
    She poked Sarah, “So, you love him after all?”
    “Oh Mom!   Stop it, of course I do!”  And that started another round of sobbing mixed with stuttered laughter that made Linsey smile.
    When they got to the hospital lobby, Sarah saw her Grandfather, he was standing just inside the door with her Father.  She ran into her Grandfather’s arms and began sobbing into his shoulder.  She told him she was so happy that he decided to be restored.  They all spent several minutes getting their composure again before going up to see Bobby. 
    Linsey told Sarah on the ride back about Grandpa’s decision to go through Restoration.  She was so happy that her Gramps was going to be around to help her Daddy give her away at her wedding some day.  She told him about that as they stood there in the Lobby.  The thought of it made Alan a bit emotional which he quickly played off.
    “Well, we shouldn’t just stand her slobbering all over each other,” he said, “Let’s go see your little brother young lady.” 
    When they arrived at the room, they met the nurse coming out that had just dropped off Bobby’s dinner tray, a nice big plate of pink goop. 
    “Well, all right, I figured it was about time for more visitors.  Go right in, he’s doing just fine.”  With a big smile she turned and sped off to the next room.  Staff was much happier in hospitals these days, death was pretty much a thing of the past and it was certainly good for moral. 
    They all tried to stick their heads in at the same time with a simultaneous “Hi” and big smiles.  Bobby was really glad to see all of them but especially Sarah. 
    “Hey Sis! How’s it goin?” 
    Sarah tried to be strong but she just burst into tears and ran to his side where she smothered him with kisses and told him how much she loved him. 
    “Jeeze!  Sis, Come on!  I’m okay and I feel great, I’ll be outta here in no time, and look no more foot fungus.”  He stuck his foot out and got it as close to her face as possible. 
    “You are a fungus!  Get that stinky foot out of my face,” she said.
    Everyone laughed at their antics.  They all visited for almost two hours.  They talked about everything that had happened and how Grandpa was going to be twenty years younger looking and completely healthy in just a few weeks.  Everyone agreed that Sarah and Bobby were certainly still the same duo.  Bobby talked Gramps into trying a small bite of the pink stuff and the awful face he made was hilarious. 
    “Whoa, that is awful,” he said, “Maybe I should reconsider!”  They all cracked up over the face he made and continued to talk until Bobby dosed off. 
    It was the right time to slip out and so they all agreed to come back in the morning to see how he was doing with his real breakfast.  As everyone got up to leave his Mother placed a quick kiss on Bobby’s forehead and whispered that she loved him in his ear.
