Vivian's POV
The silence in the hospital room when Axel left was deafening. It was a tough decision for the doctor, but I already knew that he was going to do what Axel had told him to do because I had no money to continue catering for my bills. He looked at me one last time, remorse written all over his face before he left the room too.
Now alone, I felt the tears filling my eyes, and I asked the same question that I always asked every time: "Why was I so unfortunate in life?" But as usual, I got no response. Still wallowing in my pain, the door opened, and this time it was two nurses who entered. One only nodded stiffly at me, and the other gave me an awkward smile before they started taking me off the drip that I was connected to. I was being discharged, and there was no two ways about it. I wanted to beg, scream, and cry out my eyes for them to have pity on me, but I did not even find the strength to do that because subconsciously I knew that it was just going to be a waste of time as my pleas would just fall on deaf ears since they had no say in it. They only had orders that they were to follow without asking any questions.
After removing the drip completely, they helped me sit up from the bed, and my breathing was rough.
"Can you walk?" one of them asked me, and I nodded, not sure if I actually could or not. I placed one foot in front of the other and tried to stand up. My legs felt like they were on fire, and all I wanted to do was sit down back, but the nurses would not let me.
"You have to continue walking until you get to the gate of the hospital, ma'am," one of them said, and the one that had smiled earlier nudged her, but I understood that she was only doing her job.
In severe pain, I continued walking until I left my hospital room and stepped into the reception room. Immediately I entered, everybody's eyes were on me, and I wanted the ground to just open up and swallow me, but I continued walking without stopping until I got to the door, and to my surprise, everywhere looked totally different from back home. This was a totally different country; I could tell because the weather was different and the scenery too. This was not Seoul Town, and I didn't know where I was. I turned back to the receptionist's office, and I practically walked as fast as my legs could carry me back to the nurses.
"Where am I? This isn't Seoul Town. Where is this place?" I asked frantically, hoping that they were going to say that this was a part of my hometown that I had never seen before, but I knew that it was not possible because I knew every nook and cranny of my hometown.
The nurses looked confused at my question. "This is Kismet, not Seoul Town," one of them said, and I felt my heart crumble. Kismet was a whole different country on its own, and Axel had left me here all alone without any form of money to depend on. I looked at the nurses' faces and put my hands together in plea.
"Please help me. I have never been here before, and I have nothing to my name. I don't know how I ended up here, so please if you have a way of helping me out, I will be indebted to you forever," I pleaded, but none of them even flinched at what I was saying. They only looked at me for a little while without saying anything before going on about their business, and I had almost given up any form of hope when I saw the doctor who had been treating me come out of his office, and I went to him, almost crawling on my knees due to my inability to walk.
"Doctor! Doctor!" I called out to him, and he turned, surprised to see me from the look on his face.
"You? You're still here?" He asked, looking behind me at the nurses, and the two nurses who had discharged me came running towards our direction. "How come she is still here?" He asked them without giving me any attention, and the nurses put their heads down without saying anything.
"I am asking a question, am I not? Why is she still here?" He asked again, and the nurses were still stalling to reply, so I spoke up.
"Doctor, please, I don't know how I got to Kismet. I have never been here before in my life as I was born in Seoul. If you send me away, I do not have anywhere to go, and you can't possibly send me away on this condition," I looked down at myself. "I can barely even walk," I cried, then pleaded with him. "Please have pity on me and help me in any way that you can. No matter how little, I'll appreciate it," I begged, my hopes getting high because I saw that he had a pitiful look on his face for me, but I realized that it was out of helplessness and not his ability to want to help me.
"Look, young lady, I don't know your full story, and honestly, as long as the soon-to-be Alpha is involved, I don't think I want to know the full story. All I can do for you is wish you well. Now, please, if you'll excuse me, I have patients to attend to."
My heart broke at his words. I had expected him to be the one with a good heart.
"Nurses, please, take her away and make sure that she leaves the hospital premises totally. Do you get me?" He instructed the nurses, and once they nodded, he turned around and walked back to his office. The nurses took my arms each and started carrying me away, and I just let them without struggling because what was the point anyway? I was all alone and had no one to help me.
