04: A Name

Seeing Li Na wide awake, Elder Li began to sympathize with her as if soothing a teenager. Bewildered, the girl on the bed observed the old lady as she was caressing her hair like a mother, tears rolling down the old lady's face but she wiped them off before giving her a wrinkled smile full of hope and love in her eyes.

Dazed, Li Na felt like she was seeing her mother cry for her. Her mother always scolds her for little things saying this and that but she cries her eyes out if her child gets a single scratch or cut. Li Na sensed the same care and concern but this lady is neither her mother nor does she know her.

'And why the hell is she crying so much?' Mystified, Li Na sighed.

When doctors began to ask her questions, how she feels, or if any pain bothers, the girl began to notice something unusual. It was strange how they address her like a spoilt kid. All of them were extremely cautious and alert it's not the way how they must talk to normal patients.
