Update ahead of one chapter on Readoo.[Chapter 29]

The white ceiling greeted me the moment I opened my eyes. Ito na yata ang pangatlong beses na nagising ako sa hospital. First, when I was pregnant. The second, when I lost my baby, and the third was today. Was I going to lose another person again?
Napabangon ako bigla nang maalala ang nangyari. I winced when I felt the pain in my leg. Napakapit ako sa kobre kama at napasinghap.
The gunshots. Nicholai was shot and was on the floor. Philip was shot instead of me, and Cheni’s b****y body on the floor came flashing back like a bullet train. What happened after? Those were the memories that I remembered before I passed out.
“Cris.” Napalingon ako nang may tumawag sa akin. Nagtatakang nakatingin ako sa kaniya.
It was my mother.
