- ASAMI -
My eyes slowly drift open and I soak in the images in my environment. From what I can see, I can tell that I am in a very expensive, private hospital and most definitely on a bed, since my head faces the ceiling, lying down flat.
I try to move my hand but a wince accompanied with the crease of my brows makes me stop. My whole body throbs with an indescribable pain. I think it’s best I lay down here.
“Awake?” Owen’s voice makes a smile form on my face. I nod. Even my neck feels stiff. Well, that’s what happens when one falls down the stairs. I’m surprised I’m not covered in bandages. Owen is just that good of a doctor, but inside here is dimly yet well illuminated and I cannot sight any clocks hanging on the walls and I fear to ask for the time. That is if I can even talk:
“Thank you for meeting with me on short notice.” I finally murmur, testing my voice! I still speak! My voice is low but not damaged.
