"She's waking up!" Said a distant voice. Or at least it was for Kate, who was still a little confused. Her vision, still blurred, and she saw only a soft light, at the same time her sense of smell worked all too well, because a strong smell of disinfectant had entered her nostrils, further increasing the persistent headache of she.
“Kate can you hear me? Please say something. I'm dying of anxiety. " With the help of her pleas, Kate woke up completely, and she immediately realized where she was. In the hospital. The room, very white, was too bright, and it was certainly a VIP, because there were no other beds, but on the other hand, there was a sofa and an armchair, for people who had to stay for the night. But the brightness of the room was contributed by the light coming out of the window to Kate's left.
By the bed, on the other hand, there were Sophie, Aunty and Uncle, with very worried faces.
What the hell happened? Ah ... I can't remember ...
“Ah ... I can't remember ...”, “Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to remember. It was a really bad accident. "
A man in his forties had entered the room, probably the doctor, from the smock he was wearing.
“Don't tell me! I practically had a heart attack! " Sophie said, then turned to Kate, “If you dare to scare me so much once again, I swear to you that if you die I will resurrect you to kill you!” And then I hug her tightly.
"I wouldn't squeeze that tight, or I risk having another collapse." The doctor said when I notice, the first signs coming, including Kate starting to cough.
"Oh ... I'm sorry Kate", and he withdrew from the embrace, but still holding Kate's hand.
“We'll have to ask the girl a couple more questions, just to make sure she doesn't have any complications, and then she'll be free to go tomorrow. That is fine?" the doctor said addressing his relatives.
“Oh yes thank you very much. You have done so much, we will always be grateful to you. " Aunty replied, making a small bow.
When the doctor left, Kate finally spoke up.
"So, explain to me what happened, I have a little blurred memories."
We better talk about it when we get home, for now, as long as you're here, try to rest as much as possible. " Uncle said.
The next day, Sophie was helping her friend-sister get ready, to go home. It is ten in the morning, and she has been approved for discharge from the hospital, but they want her to visit the hospital again for further meetings.
“Are you sure you're okay? Are you hiding something from me that I don't know? "
Sophie, it had been minutes for her to go on with these questions, and each time, Kate replied that she was fine. "Honestly, I would need some quiet time, and a glass of water, or I risk my headache again." she answered sitting on the edge of the bed, playing the part of the person who is about to have an illness.
"Oh! Sorry, I'll bring it to you right away. ”And she burst out of the room like a splinter.
"Hey, hey ... How are you?" said a voice that made Kate immediately jump to her feet, and turn her face towards the door, where her professor was standing.
What the hell is he doing here? He is starting to get ridiculous.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kate yells. But her voice was quickly drowned out by Zhang's hand, "Shut up! Is this the thanks you give me for saving your life? ”Her voice sounds very annoyed.
“What, did he save my life? What happened, can you tell me? "Kate asked in an almost pleading voice.
Her professor's eyes soften, and he caresses her face.
You are so damn adorable and irresistibly sexy.
"Unfortunately, I can't reveal anything to you, I promised your guardians. You'll see, you'll know everything in due time, ”she told her in a low voice.
Their faces are so close that Kate goes red.
"Prof. Feng, my friend will definitely be coming back, and you better not find her here. Anyway, I'm fine, except that everything is being hidden from me. See you again at the university! Bye! "
Kate said pushing the man out of the room, then closing the door, then putting his back on the cold wall.
The teacher walked away, laughing loudly, who then disperses into the corridor.
When my friend Sophie returns, he took the glass from her hand, to drink it all in one gulp. Her chat with her professor left her dehydrated.
“Wow plan! You don't want to suffocate ... "he said, then continuous surprise," did you by chance remember something? "
And he walked over to her, putting his hand on her forehead to see if she had a fever.
"No, I don't remember, I was just so thirsty."
"My parents have arrived, let's go, meet them in the parking lot."
And they set off.
Kate was very embarrassed. Since they got home they have been coming and going to the room to check if she needs anything. But she didn't have the courage to refuse all these tensions.
“Can you tell me what happened? We've been home for a couple of hours now, and I want to know. "
Everyone stopped what they were doing to get closer to her bed.
“Oh, you know, many times it is not necessary to know everything we do not remember. Sometimes not remembering makes us feel better, ”Aunty told her, her hands folded, almost hoping Kate would fall for it.
"I know, but I want to remember anyway, do it for me."
"Then we just have to tell you everything that happened," Uncle said, putting a hand on her shoulder. Kate and Sophie leave the cinema, and while they wait something unexpected happens. Kate is taken aback when she feels a hand approach her neck. She smells the metal.
She has become a hostage of a fugitive, probably a robber. Kate doesn't even have the strength to scream, and the air seems to come out of her lungs faster and faster. A few minutes pass, and reinforcements arrive from the police.
"Let the girl go!" One of them said. Sophie meanwhile was really scared, she was shaking like a leaf. Kate didn't want the man to hurt her sweet big sister too, so she waved her hand away. Sophie follows her instructions, and walks away.
The cops keep yelling at the robber to let Kate go, who in all that situation seemed to be the only one with a cool head. But by now she felt she was losing strength. The man squeezed her neck again. The vision now blurred and the voices came in the distance. At a certain point, Kate feels the man's hold fail, but it's too late now. The only thing she sees is a pair of ruby red eyes.
"Quick! Call an ambulance!"
Voices in contrast with the police sirens, and immediately after those of the ambulance.
Once in the hospital, Kate is taken to the emergency control room, and the family, Professor Zhang and Sophie are left outside in the other room waiting for news.
A couple of hours pass, and finally a doctor comes out.
“Are you here for the girl inside?” He asked.
“It's us, tell me how are you doing? Are you that serious? " they all asked in harmony.
“The girl is fine, even though she has risked a lot, apparently she hasn't got enough oxygen to her brain and lungs. So we are not sure that to remember the event "said the doctor," also the marks will remain on the neck for a week, and he needs to rest for at least two weeks, he may need psychological support, if you understand what I mean. She could be traumatized. "
“Oh, thank you very much doctor! Is there anything else we can do? " Aunty asked, “I'll have you bring the documents and instructions for how to treat patients at home. We want to keep her under observation tomorrow as well, because for today we do not believe that she will wake up "replied again, the doctor, assuring the woman.
"Besides, you already know the rest," Uncle finished.
"Oh, my friend, you have no idea how worried you have made me!" Sophie said and then hugged Kate.
"Rest now, you need it"
"Okay, but I have no intention of following a psychologist ... because I'm not traumatized."
And they all laughed.
