I was in a strange location when I opened my eyes.
'Huh? "Where am I?" was the first thing I questioned myself.
I turned around to find myself lying on a hospital bed with a drip going into my body.
I became aware that I was in the hospital immediately.
When the nurse entered, she asked me, "You are awake. How is your body?"
The nurse appears to still be in her youth and is attractive.
"I suppose I'm OK, but could you kindly tell me how I got here?" I queried the nurse.
The nurse jokingly whacked my head, saying, "Oh did the sun also harm your brain? I think the doctor has to check in case it has been fried up."
I thought, 'She knocks very hard for a lady', as I wiped my head.
The nurse left with a file in hand and remarked, "All right, I'll be back to see how you are in an hour."
The doctor and my mother entered the building after thirty minutes and started talking.
I murmured, "Mother." Seeing her made me smile.
I could tell that I was in trouble when my mother said, "Good, you are awake." Her tone didn't sound kind.
"How does your body feel right now?"The doctor enquired.
I affirmed, "Doctor, I'm OK."
"Okay, good for you. But do you intend to harm your health?" The doctor enquired.
"Huh?" I was bewildered.
"You were burned badly by the sun when you were brought here. It was burning in your veins. " The doctor remarked,
Having known the reason for the sunburn, I remained silent.
Mother said, "You refused to eat and returned after hours with a high body temperature. She then cried, "Don't kill me, you little child," before asking, "Where did you go? Four days in a row, you were unconscious."
I quickly devised a lie since I couldn't tell my mother that I went to meet a female or that the sunburn problem was caused by a girl. "Mother, when I returned from my friend's house, my bicycle tire had a problem. I had to get a bike mechanic to fix it, so ".
Curiously, the doctor questioned, "And how do those link with you having that much sunburn?"
I lied, saying, "I had to hike a great distance in the scorching sun."

Before John passed out earlier…
When Precious arrived at her house, a girl who bears a strong likeness to her was spotted conversing with her in a nearby room.
"So how did it go ?".
