Chereads / When Your Eyes Met Mine / Chapter 6 - Awake

Chapter 6 - Awake

Three years later.....

Dahlia Long fluttered her eyelids open. Her eyes revealed a dark, empty look. The first thing she said with her dry mouth was,

"I can't see."

The dark and empty look that Dahlia had when she woke up turned to be darker and emptier than before. When she was stuck in that pitch black conscious, she hoped that she would wake up to bright lights at least. But no she woke up to darkness. But she couldn't do anything about this, she was more determined to go back to that place. Being blind was just a minor setback compared to her previous sufferings.

She felt objects that were stuck to her body. She lifted her hands to feel where they were and unattached them. She quietly stood up from her bed and felt multiple casts on her body, still she felt and stumbled around the room to look for a stick she could walk with to guide her. She felt her arms and legs give out. A normal person walking after being a coma for so long was nearly impossible, but she had the power to heal herself quickly and she did that just to recover her strength.

After Dahlia had found a stick, she immediately set to her destination at 3:00 am in the morning. She went to a place that was scarred in her heart, tattooed to her heart. The place she most longed for, her brother Wei's grave.

Hei Bohai walked to the entrance of Dahlia's room in the hospital. There was no life form on the bed, he could clearly see ripped out cords that had dried blood on its tip.

His eyes had fire burning in his dark orbs. He signaled to his secretary, secretary Jian.

"Get the head doctor. Now!" He nearly roared.

"Yes sir." Secretary Jian was used to serving his employer for many years and was used to his vicious aura and actions.

When the head doctor heard of his runaway long term patient, he nearly ran for his life to reach Dahlia's room. He poked his head in and checked the bed. No sign of the lady. He prayed that his funeral would be a peaceful one and that his wife and children may age peacefully.

'It's my funeral today.' He thought while wiping a tear at the corner of his eye.

He motioned to the nurse who ran with him.

"Give Mr. Hei the camera footage from last night until now."

The head doctor vaguely guessed what time she ran away due to the amount of checkups she needed multiple times a day. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted,

"How did she run away? She just woke up, isn't she supposed to be extremely weak?" Hei Bohai asked the doctor with a cold sneer.

The doctor shivered and gulped. His actions were seen through. The checkups she needed were due to her fighting conscious, and to research this strange ability of Dahlia's to recover almost instantly, he would be known as a famous doctor if he could just research a little bit more about the girl.

With fame, he would have money, an abundance of it to take care of his family with (but that dream ended).
