"Tommy, did you hear that? The doctor said you're not in any serious danger, which means as long as you behave, you can be discharged from the hospital soon. How about that? Are you happy?"
Thomas Smith nodded.
"Tommy, does it hurt?" Looking at the bruises on his hand and the white gauze tightly wrapped around his chest, she felt terribly heartbroken!
Thomas Smith shook his head: "Tommy isn't in pain; Tommy is a big boy!"
"Well, is there anywhere else that's uncomfortable?"
Thomas Smith shook his head again.
"You have no idea; you scared mom to death!"
In fact, Thomas Smith had just lied.
During the surgery, he was under general anesthesia and couldn't feel a thing. However, while being injected with the anesthetic, he felt extremely uncomfortable. It was as if something annoying was being injected into his veins and then, before his eyes, the bright white light of the operating room's lamp shone. His mother wasn't by his side.
