The surprise in Irene's eyes quickly turned into joy, then after a few seconds those very eyes became angry and then changed into calm. The transition was fast and the cycle repeated for quite a while.
Simon could see Irene's lips moving, she was saying something but because his senses were still numb, he couldn't hear anything. Though that may be the case, it wasn't hard for him to make out what she was trying to say from the various expressions she was showing.
Simon looked at her for a while before he found his eyelids becoming heavier and drowsiness took hold of him, he fell asleep.
The next time he opened his eyes, he saw Annette sitting next to him, taking care of him. After Annette, it was Bea and then Emma, Bianca, and Alice.
The person taking care of him changed every time he opened his eyes but the scenery around him remained the same.
