Knock! Knock!
Evalyn woke up to the sound of two loud knocks on the hospital door.
"We're coming in!" The doctor from the night before yelled aggressively. She could hear multiple voices and footsteps following his.
The sun was bright already, showcasing that she had slept longer than expected.
She looked at her mom, who was still sleeping, but her face was filled with slight pain.
The door thrust open, and the doctor entered with five soldiers, each with camo gear and assault rifles with silencers.
"W-What's going on?" Evalyn asked in shock.
The doctor held up a document. "By emergency law, all cultivators are now required to aid essential needs facilities. Therefore, you're officially working for us."
"Wait! I'm not leaving my mom!" She cried.
The five soldiers pointed their guns at her, and she immediately thought back to Kaze's words.
