Chapter 557 - SHE IS AWAKE (1/2)

Akira felt like she was drifting in nothingness.

She did not have sensations of pain or feelings of fear.

It was like she had become part of the clouds or the air.

She could not remember how she had ended up in the nothingness. No, she was part of the nothingness. Nothing mattered in the place beyond time and space. She kept drifting and drifting and drifting.

And she was slowly fading into the nothingness.

Then, her peace was broken by the soft voice of a child.

”Mommy, wake up!” The squishy voice called out.

Akira's hazy mind tried to process the sound. Her memories were like scattered flashes without meaning or substance. But still, she tried to remember if she had a child. She tried. She could not remember.

Was she the kind of person who would forget her child?

”Mommy, mommy, wake up!” The sweet child's voice shouted.

The sound broke through the cloudiness of Akira's mind. The shattered pieces of her memories joined together into a whole image again.

Suddenly, she could remember.

The last thing she saw was Kaito being pushed out of the window by Clyde. The two people toppled out of the skyscraper together. Her eyes watered as the image came back to her. Even though Kaito was strong, he would never survive such a fall.

That time, she wanted to run after him and catch him in her arms. But she was shot in the chest. She could not even breathe or maintain her consciousness.

Little Precious…

Akira was not a practising doctor, but she had enough knowledge to understand that the injury after Bonnie shot her was serious. Even though she seemed to have survived somehow, the probability of her baby's survival was not good.

Akira fought the overwhelming pain in her heart and opened her eyes.

She winced as her eyes were flooded with bright, white light. She closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them again and turned away from the light. She could not make out anything except for a white room.

”Call Dr Jiang!” She heard someone shout. ”The patient is awake.”

Akira seemed to hear the voice from afar. She tried to move her body, but it felt a little foreign to her. However, she did not like sleeping in an unfamiliar place, especially since she did not know what happened after the Bonnie and Clyde incident.

She shook her head against the pillow to clear the cobwebs and lifted her hand to rub her eyes. But when she lifted her hand, she found there was an IV drip connected. She frowned. It was expected that she was in the hospital after the incident.

She wanted to sit up, but her body felt a little heavy.

”Do not try to move, Ms Yamazaki.” A cool voice spoke up.
