@Aisling "That's because for children like Toma, even a cold can be deadly," Dracula's father explained. "It can develop into an inflammation of the heart. If you are transplanted, the risk is even higher, since your immune system needs to be suppressed to prevent the body from rejecting the new heart."

@Aisling Another three hours went on until the doctor returned. "He's getting better, but he should go to a specialized heart center. Mr. Gheorghescu?"

"I can teleport us there," Ioan said.

"Good. We've already informed them." The doctor guided them to Toma, so that Ioan could teleport them to the heart center more easily, which he did.

@Aisling Ioan sighed. "I wish there was... but for some reason, magic can't cure birth defects..."

@Aisling An hour later, a doctor came in. "Your majesty?"

Dracula sat up. "Yes?"

"Your son is better," the doctor said. "His heart is beating, but he's still unconscious, and he isn't breathing on his own."

@Aisling "They don't have a heart for him yet..." the father answered. "They're trying to restart the one he has."

@Aisling "We know this procedure here, but it isn't more effective than normal CPR," Dracula's father answered. "It's called an open heart massage. Doctors do it when you've got a chest injury that makes normal CPR impossible."

@Aisling Dracula was shaking. "What if they can't restart his heart?"

@Aisling "Of course, I would..." Dracula answered. "But first, this only works if your heart is beating... secondly, he's still a child... changing him would mean that he won't age any more... and that would mean that he could never fulfill his dream and become an astronomer... thirdly, the change can go wrong..."

Ioan put a hand on Dracula's shoulder. "Toma has been on top of EuroTransplant's list for more than 18 months by now... eight months are normal."

@Aisling Ioan teleported them back to the hospital.

Dracula was lying in his bed crying. "He just fainted..."

@Aisling "We don't have to go home," Ioan answered telepathically. "I've got enough money with me."

"Toma is having a cardiac arrest," Dracula suddenly said via telepathy.
