Inside the hospital room, there laid a cute 5 year old girl with bruises and cuts all over her body. Beside her bed was a middle-aged woman sleeping. On the couch beside the bed, a middle-aged man was sitting reading the newspaper.
The news featured the plane crash that happened 3 months ago. Most of the passengers died while others were still missing.
The man looked at the list of the missing people. He found out the identity of the girl they saved during their vacation when they heard the news of the crash.
-------------------------------------------
Richard and Dominique Gainsboroug were enjoying their 8th year anniversary when they found Mond on their private beach. They brought the girl to their villa. Dominique is a doctor so she immediately administered first aid to the girl. Richard contacted his hired boatman and ordered him to immediately get them from their island. Richard also contacted his secretary to investigate the identity of the girl as soon as they arrived at the hospital.
They tried to contact the family of the girl personally. As they arrived at the residence of the girl they found that nobody in her family looked like they care at all about their family members lost during the plane crash. They were organizing a funeral, yes, but their merry attitude shows otherwise. Cindy and Flinn's funeral were so grand that it seems more like a party than a funeral.
Dominique immediately gave his husband a look and decided not to tell them that they rescued Mond, for the girl's safety. They know how hungry people are in the high society of power and money. They will pounce on every crack on the wall they see to reach higher power. They left the event and tended to Mond to the best of their abilities.
-------------------------------------------
Although 3 months have passed, Mond still hasn't woken up. Her bruises and cuts are mostly gone.
Dominique woke up and looked at the girl lovingly when she noticed that the hand she was holding was squeezing her hand back.
"Richard! Call doctor quick!!, Baby are you okay?"
Dominique asked while stroking the girl's hair. Richard immediately went and called for the doctor.
Mond stared at the woman before her.
'Thank the heavens she's awake'
She wondered where the voice came from when she can clearly see that the woman in front of her didn't open her mouth to speak.
"Honey? are you okay?"
Dominique asked again as she saw that the girl didn't respond. Mond was looking for the voice sheheard when she heard the woman in front of her call her again. When she realized she has the same voice as the voice she heard on her mind, she knitted her brows.
'I hope she's okay. Does she not know how to speak?'
As soon as she realized that the voice she hears in her head came from the woman in front of her, a lot of noise immediately entered her ear. She covered both her ears. Not wanting to hear the noise but still failed. She immediately shouted in panic and tried desperately to cover her ears while rolling around the hospital bed.
Seeing the girl cover her ears, Dominique stood beside her trying to call her. She looked worried and scared. As she saw the girl panic and roll around in the bed, she immediately hugged the girl trying to calm her down.
"RICHARD!! Call the doctor! Hurry!"
The doctor arrived together with her husband while heaving. It looked like they ran when they heard her shout.
"Aaaahhh. Stoooppp!!. No, no, no. I don't want to hear your voice! Nooo. Mommy!"
Mond keep repeating this sentence. She cried on Dominique's chest as she still covering her ears and shaking her head. Dominique's worry seemed to increase as she saw the girl still in distress. She loved how the girl called her 'Mommy' and moves more in her embrace.
Seeing as the girl wasn't calming down, the doctor ordered a sedative to be administered through her IV. As soon as the medicine took effect, the girl closed her eyes with tears streaming down her face.
When Dominique felt the girl's deep breathing, she heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the doctor and asked,
"What's wrong with her, doctor? Why was she panicking like that?".
" It must be because she was unfamiliar with her new environment or because of her accident that caused her to have a trauma. We still need to have some tests and monitor her closely."
The doctor said as he defeatedly sighed. Dominique looked at the girl slleping in her arms and hugged her tighter. Afraid that she may feel scared again when she woke up.
The girl furrowed her eyebrows as if she's having a nightmare. Dominique saw this and she started to hum a lullaby. It was what she always do to Michelle, their only child, when she has nightmares when the girl was still with them.
