LA city hospital... 8:20am..

"M-mom..."

Mrs Ben heard Claudia's voice groaning quietly in her sleep, she opened her eyes.. and rubbed off her eyes. 

"Mom.." 

She heard the voice again, she turned her gaze towards Claudia's bed... expecting to see Claudia laying lifeless on the bed.

But to her greatest shock, her eyes widened when she saw Claudia trying to reach for water.

"Claudia?!" Mrs Ben called.. as if she's not sure what she's seeing right now. 

"You're awake?!"

Claudia nodded slowly, a groan left her mouth as she tried to sit up. 

Mrs Ben quickly reached out and helped her up, she pulled the pillow up and rest Claudia's back on the pillow.

"Mom..w-what happened?" Claudia asked.

"You were shot by your LOVELY father!" Mrs Ben said, emphasizing on the word *lovely*
