You being at 200, possibly higher by now... You are more like someone HIV positive. Not AIDS. We don't know how stable any of this is, if you are still going up, but Stephen is right. It's like we reset your body."
The way he had envisioned it. "We'll keep testing your blood, I'd say at least twice a day. And we can do another round of treatment in a week. But..."
Hartley paused, finally, turning to simply smile at Harry. "Yeah. You're gonna make it."
