" Is she okay?"

I asked the nurse I came across while heading towards Alex's room.

" She's conscious but she isn't responding to anything or anyone. She's just staring into space "

She informed me before sighing.

" The little girl is traumatised. She just lost her father "

The nurse said before she walked away while I entered the hospital room.

The first thing I noticed was Caolan's child on the hospital bed, staring into space.

An IV was attached to her arm.

I approached her and sat down at the edge of the bed.

" Hey kiddo, how're you feeling?"

I asked rubbing her leg.

She didn't even blink, nor reply and I sighed, massaging my forehead.

" Do you remember anything, kid?"

I asked and she shook her head before staring at me.

I avoided her eyes because of how deeply she stared at me.

This kid was intimidating without her even knowing it.

" How old are you?"
