Her eyes opened but she closed them back due to the sharpness of the light. She opened her eyes slowly, allowing them adjust to the light's intensity.
She turned to her right as she heard the beeping sound of a pace maker. She looked around at her surroundings and found it strange. "Wait,am I dead? Is this heaven? Or is this another form of punishment?" she kept questioning herself as she looked around the hospital room strangely. Just then, a nurse came in.
"Mrs Knight,I see you're awake." The nurse said with a smile.
Seeing the nurse in a uniform which was strange to her, she freaked out. "Stay away from me,you didn't succeed the first time and now you want to try to kill me again." She yelled. "Mrs Knight please calm down, you must still be in trauma." The nurse tried to cajole.
"Stop calling me that. I'm not even married yet and besides, my name is Rachael. I see what you're trying to do,you want to confuse me so you can try killing me again because you failed last time but you know what, I won't fall for it." She yelled and made to stand up from the bed but felt the sting of the needle from the IV still attached to her hand.
"And what is this strange device? Are you trying to poison me?" She lashed out and forcefully yanked the needle from her hand, her hand began bleeding profusely.
"Hah! I'm bleeding! I'm bleeding!" She screamed frightened. "Mrs Knight,please calm down. You just woke up from a coma,you need to rest." The nurse said and tried calming her down.
"Please sit down,I want to help you. We need to stop the bleeding." The nurse said but just then,another nurse came in.
"Getrude please call the doctor, Mrs Knight has woken up and she seems to be in shock." The first nurse tending to Rachael's hand told the second nurse who left quickly to inform the doctor.
"What's that?" She asked as the nurse brought some cotton wool dipped in antiseptic to clean her bleeding hand. "It's cotton wool dipped in antiseptic, it will stop the bleeding. I promise I only want to help you, just relax please." The nurse told gently.
"Ow! It hurts!" Rachael said snatching away her hand immediately it came in contact with the cotton wool.
"That's because it's healing the wound." The nurse explained. "How can I trust you? You're wearing this strange outfit that makes you look like a scarecrow. Something was being injected into my body by that strange device, in fact, this room is filled with so many strange things and it smells weird. You keep calling me Mrs Knight when I've told you my name is Rachael and.... Wait! Where am I? Am I really in heaven?" Rachael asked solemnly all of a sudden.
The nurse couldn't help laughing. "No,of course not. You're in a hospital. That hit to the head must have really done some damage, you sound like you've lost your memory." The nurse chirped.
"What's a hospital?" Rachael asked. Just then,the door barged open and the doctor and some nurses followed by a very handsome man dressed in a black suit walked in.
