Adopt me

In the infirmary. 

Amanda woke up to a pair of chilling eyes looking down at her. She immediately tried to sit up but was pushed back down instantly. 

"Lie down! You are still too weak to get up and jump around." Alexa scolded, looking utterly annoyed. 

She had been assigned to save the life of the woman she hated the most. How could she be happy about it!? 

Amanda studied the young woman, not comprehending where this hatred emanated from. She had wanted to investigate it, but she had a feeling the truth was something that would shatter many hearts, so she wanted to hear it from Alexa. 

She used this chance to strike up a conversation. "You look exactly like your mother. No wonder I thought you were familiar when I first saw you." 

"Are you talking to me?" Alexa, who was about to leave, turned to look at the woman on the bed curiously. 

"Do you see anyone else in the room?" Amanda threw the question back at her.
