Creak!
The door of the hospital room opened slowly, and a doctor with a clipboard in hand entered, smiling after seeing Kiernan awake finally.
"You've woken up. Good. We thought it was about time for you to come back to us."
"Uh, you've taken care of me, it seems. Thank you." Kiernan sat up on the bed and thanked the doctor.
"I hardly did anything," the doctor said. "You're lucky, young man. It seems like you have friends in the high places."
'Friends in the high places?' Kiernan frowned.
"Ahem…" Julian cleared his throat. "Your leg, Kiernan."
'My leg? Right, I lost it.'
Kiernan thought, but when he looked down, he saw his right leg attached to his body like it was supposed to. It was still bandaged around his thigh, but it felt perfectly normal.
"My leg…?"
He touched his knee, barely believing that he hadn't actually lost it.
