"What are you saying?" I am here for a month. Are you saying the truth?" I questioned him, unable to believe what he said was true.
"What I am saying is true," he answered while checking me. After two minutes, he said, "Nurse will give you some painkillers, and after two days, you can go back."
"Who admitted me here?" I questioned him, wondering who had brought me to the hospital. I thought my life was over and never expected that I would come back alive again. Maybe this is a second chance for me to survive and get back what I have.
"We don't know. We just received a call from someone stating that you are lying there in a pool of blood. When our people arrived, you were in bad condition, so they brought you here. No one has come to see you until now, except for one girl. She just came twice or three times," the nurse explained to me.
"A girl?" I murmured, thinking who it might be. "Yes, a girl, he answered while putting the medicine into the injection.
"Did Kelly come see me?" I know she will miss me and can't keep me away. I am sure that bastard manipulated her, and when she saw me in a pool of blood, she called the ambulance and saved me. I should go to her and then see her end. How dare he manipulate her against me and create a crack between us? I will make him believe me and Kelly are the same always," I thought.
"Hiss," I hissed in pain when I felt the nurse injecting me with the needle.
"I am sorry. I know it would be painful, but in just two days, you will be back to normal. Thank God, you are finally back to life. We never expected that you would come back to life and that was too early," she said with a smile, and I smiled at her. I never smiled at anyone, but when I heard her words for the first time, I felt she was genuinely concerned about me and my well-being.
"Thank you so much for your concern," I replied, taking her hand in mine.
"Haha, it's ok. We are here to take care of you all. I did what was my responsibility," and then gave me some medicine.
"Want to eat something?" She questioned me, to which I nodded my head and said, "Can you help me go out for a walk, please? I feel like my whole body is tied to some ropes."
"No, I am sorry. I can't take you out until the doctor permits me. Don't forget, you are still connected to machines," she said, pointing toward the pipes that were connected to my body.
"Do I need to connect with these?" I'm already back to my senses, right?" I said this while trying to remove an IV drip from my hand.
"What are you doing?" You just regained consciousness and have been acting normally for quite some time. No, you still need to connect with them, at least until tomorrow. We ended up serving you and making sure you were perfectly alright to discharge," she said while removing my hands from the drip. Her tone clearly conveyed that she was angry with what I was saying.
"Please, I hate these. I don't want to connect with these painful machines anymore," I pleaded, to which she shook her sid. His eyes, which were angry a while ago, now turn into silent mode after seeing my condition. She sat beside me, taking my hand in hers. She answered,
"I am not saying you should stay connected with Gtese forever, but until you are totally fine, you have to." After being in town for a month following a significant incident, we just want to ensure that you are doing well. So, please hear to us."
After hearing her soft voice and her explanation, I just nodded my head because I was scared of what would happen to me, but I didn't want to upset her after hearing her request. She is explaining everything in a soft voice, like a mother explains to her child, which surprised me given her level of patience.
"Ok, I will hear you. But, for once, ask the doctor about this, please," I said, and she nodded her head.
"Ok, take a rest for now. I will come back later. I have other work to handle and patiens to take care of," she said, standing up from her place.
"Ok," I said, and she went from there, but only after she made me lay down strenuously again. As I closed my eyes, my mind began to wander through various thoughts. I didn't even know when I started feeling sleepy, until my eyes became heavy and I slowly closed my eyes.
I drifted off to sleep, and I opened my eyes slowly when I felt someone trying to wake me up. There, the same nurse is standing with an arm in her hand.
"I am sorry for disturbing your sleep. But you need to eat so you can take your medication," she said, to which I smiled and tried to sit still on my own. However, I am still unable to move myself freely, and when my body started aching, I groaned in frustration.
"Don't be mad. You would be there soon. She encouraged me and then fed me food. I slowly consumed everything before taking the medication she recommended.
She went away, and then I glanced all around. I was never in this kind of ward. If I have to admit it, I used to get VVIP wards for myself, or else the doctor would come home and treat me. However, for God's sake, I was only in the hospital for once and that was for one day.
On my right side, there are ten more beds, and on my left side, there are ten more. Everywhere, their families are with the patient, taking care of them and feeding them. In the whole ward, I think I am the only one who doesn't have anyone to take care of.
With a sigh, I lean back, thinking of so many things that would disturb me completely.
