Chapter 37: Back to Work

When Sarah opened her eyes, the brightness of that white room blinded her for a few seconds. She had no idea where she was and what had happened, but a heavy pain on her chest made her gasp for air. It was like her whole body had been beaten up and, what were all of those wires attached to her?

She reached her nose with her hand, trying to take everything out, but another hand grabbed hers before she could reach it.

“Calm down, Miss Johnson. I’ll do that for you. Just make sure to be calm. Everything’s fine. You’re at the hospital, but you’re out of danger now,” the woman explained, taking off the nasal thing from her face.

Hospital? Sarah frowned. Her throat was too dry and also a bit sore to talk, so she only muttered to the nurse to get her some water first. The woman handed her a glass and she drank it up.

“Why am I here? What happened?”

And then the woman explained everything that had happened while the memories came back as a wrecking ball inside Sarah’s mind.
