Awake!

In a white hospital room, little Valen slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room with a few machines serving different purposes. Beside him were doctor Matt and a few doctors and nurses who were checking the monitors for the progress of his health. 

"Valen, you're awake." Doctor Matt smiled.

"Uncle Matt," Valen's weak voice sounded. 

"How are you feeling?" 

"I don't feel pain anymore. I'm not feeling sleepy, nor weak either… but I'm hungry…Am I alright?"

Matt nodded when he heard that. "You are pretty much healthy now, just that you'll be in a wheelchair for a few weeks to a month so your body can adjust in those weeks." 

Valen darted his eyes around the room but couldn't find the person he was looking for, so he asked: "How is mummy?" 

"Your mummy is fine. She doesn't know you're awake yet. I'll get your father to inform her."
