Chapter 541 : Bullets Hurt

The morning light from the window was blocked by the dark curtain over it, though I could still see peeks of it pouring from under it. I sighed, having been in and out of consciousness all night, as the doctor finished up his exam.

He checked over the IV and beeping monitors hooked up to me one last time, making sure all was in proper working condition before he smiled and said, “You should try to get some rest. It’ll make you heal faster. Is there anything else I can get you before I duck out?”

I stared at him, half-delirious from the pain medicine and half-delirious from the exhaustion and pain. I opened my mouth, intending to say thank you, or something meaningful perhaps, but all that fell out was, “Quack.”

“Noted.” The doctor chuckled, nodding to himself as my cheeks burned bright red in embarrassment.

“Sorry,” I mumbled to myself, wishing I could sink into the hospital bed and disappear.
