Chapter 55

LUCY’S POV

My eyes slowly fluttered open, I was immediately disoriented and blinded by the bright light.

Where was I?

The white ceiling blurred above me and I blinked hard before I focused on the two figures sitting near my bed—Christian and my mother. Panic surged through me as I remembered everything that happened with the nurses in the empty surgery room..

I looked down at the bandages on my arm, still hurting from the cut. The monitors beeped around me as my heart raced.

I glanced at my mother and I was surprised to see her beaming at me, this wasn't the reaction I expected when she found out I tried to kill myself.

“You are awake, Lucy,” She said softly, her eyes lit with joy.

My brows furrowed as I stared at her in confusion. I glanced at Christian and he looked visibly uncomfortable in his chair as he stared back at me.

“Mom..?” I said as I tried to sit up slowly.

“No, don't move!” She exclaimed gently pushing me back onto the bed, his grip tight.
