Woke up at the hospital

Beijing Tiantan Hospital

In the outpatient ward, a woman in hospital clothes was lying unconscious with a pale face. The infusion was running on her hand. Beside her, a gentleman was sitting there looking at her worriedly.

The door of the ward suddenly opened, and Mia rushed inside.

"How is she? How could she have a heatstroke suddenly?" Mia asked with a frown.

"I don't know. I found her in the lavender field of our school." Sam said pushing his black frame glasses from the bridge of his nose. He was looking at her and his eyes were full of love and worry.

This morning, Sam happened to go to school to get some important documents. When he was passing by the lavender flower field, he saw a woman was standing there alone. At first, he didn't recognize the woman as Ava, because she had no reason to come to the school during the vacation. He wanted to ignore it but suddenly saw the woman fell on the ground and fainted, he hurried to the meadow and found out it was actually Ava.

"What did the doctor say?" Mia asked worriedly.

"Well, the doctor said it's nothing serious, she was a bit malnourished and was suffering from lack of sleep, that's why she was so weak. The doctor also said it's better for her to avoid staying under direct sun for a long time."

Mia was relieved. These days, Ava was on leave so she didn't get to see her at all. Now she heard Ava was sent to the hospital emergency, she got so worried that she came as quickly as she could to see her friend.

"What happened to her wrist?" Mia suddenly looked at the gauze wrapped around her wrist and asked confused.

"I don't know." Sam shook his head and said innocently. He hasn't seen her for a long time, he had no idea what was going on with her life.

Mia took a look at Ava's wrist carefully. The gauze had dried blood in it, she wondered how Ava got hurt like that? Mia decided to help her friend to change her dressing.

"You wait here please. I'll get the supply to change her dressing." Mia didn't know that Sam and Ava knew each other so she thought he would probably leave.

Sam frowned and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't leave her in this condition."

After a while, Mia came back and started to open Ava's wound step by step, until she saw two shocking cuts on her wrist. Mia was so shocked that she forgot to move and keep staring at the wound.

Sam was also a bit puzzled thinking did she attempted suicide? Her wound didn't look like a normal accidental cut.

"Did she do that?" Sam asked Mia, after all, he was not a doctor so he was not sure if his assumption was correct.

Mia nodded her head, her eyes were full of heartache. Ava must have experienced something awful these days to attempt suicide. She was not that kind of person. She was a doctor and a very optimistic person then why would she do such a thing?

"If you don't mind can you please keep it to yourself?" Sam reacted quickly. He knew this was Ava's workplace and if the news of her suicidal attempt came out she will not only be humiliated but also she would probably be dismissed from the hospital.

"Don't worry, Ava is my friend. I won't speak about this to anyone."

After Mia changed her dressing she sat there beside Ava. In no time Ava moved and opened her eyes.

"OMG Ava, what's wrong with you? You scared me to death do you know?" Mia screamed throwing herself into Ava's arm.

Ava was still in a daze thinking wasn't she at the school how did she get to the hospital? Then she turned her head and saw Sam standing there with an anxious face. She immediately understood she must have fainted and Sam brought her here.

"Sorry Mia, I'm ok now. I'm just a little tired, after some rest I'll be fine." Ava's head was aching and she was also feeling a little dizzy.

"What were you doing at the school on such a hot summer day? You are a doctor didn't you know you would get a heatstroke?" Mia questioned sullenly.

"It's normal for me to have heatstroke because of my poor health. Don't worry about it." Ava tried to comfort Mia.

"I haven't seen you for a few days and you become thinner and also looking more tired. What happened to you Ava?"

"I don't know. I am busy and there's something at home." Ava said trying to avoid the conversation in front of Sam.

"What happened at home Ava? I heard you are not living at the Green villa these days and Sarah also said, you have been really busy with a research project at the hospital. Is it because of that?" Sam was also very puzzled. He asked Sarah about Ava and she said Ava was busy and hardly had time to even see her family.

Ava rolled her eyes secretly and scolded Sarah in her heart. Why did she have to tell everything to Sam? Now how she was going to explain this one especially in front of Mia?

"Actually yes, I haven't been living with my parents for a while. My mother always tries to set me up for a blind date and I don't really want to date right now, so I moved out and rented an apartment outside.

"Oh! So it's like that." Sam nodded in understanding.

"Sam, I am feeling a bit hungry do you mind buying some lunch for me please?" Ava asked innocently. She needed to talk to Mia and she didn't want to do that in front of Sam.

"Sure, no problem. What would you like to eat?" Sam asked enthusiastically.

"Something Light."

"Ok. I'll be right back." Sam left with a smile.

Hearing the conversation between Ava and Sam Mia was really confused. However, she decided to keep quiet until she was alone with Ava to ask her.

Mia handed her a glass of water and asked after she finished it, "Ava, are you going to tell me what's going on with you?"

Looking at Mia Ava knew, she could not lie to her anymore. In fact, she also felt very stressed keep lying to everyone. Maybe it would be nice, to tell the truth at least to one person.
