96 Finally Awake (1/2)

Darkness. Infinite never ending trail of darkness. It was like she wasn't even walking, she was floating.... on clouds with no array of light.

Bleak darkness... She could feel nor move, like she was shackled or paralyzed.

It felt like it's been years and sometimes it felt like it's been just mere hours that she is doing this for.

Then at the end of the dark passage, after what felt like an eternity, she saw light and tried thrashing to grope it like the last shred of her sanity.

She heard a continuous noise hammering on her head.

'BEEP... BEEP...BEEP...'

She opened her heavy eyelids with everything in front of her a blur.

Blinking with a fever she cleared her vision. The ceiling was lavish to say the least, she turned to the beeping sound and realized she was attached to machines but the place was definitely not a hospital.

She tried to get up but all her body felt too heavy to move.

Wincing and whimpering she manged to sit.

The door was then opened revealing a middle-aged woman in a nurse dress who gasped and dropped the cleaning supplies she was holding in shock.

”Wa...water.” Lu Xinyi croaked out feeling the itching in her neck.

The nurse who was frozen in shock immediately got out of trance and rushed forward and poured water in a glass and handed it to Lu Xinyi.

”Yes, Yes Miss, there it is. Let me call the doctor for you.” The woman didn't wait for her response but left the room in a hurry.

Lu Xinyi drank the water and felt her throat was relieved. She sat there observing everything with a frown etched on her face.

All her limbs were aching like they were ran over by a bulldozer and her head was aching as if it would explode.

The door was again burst open with at least four people rushing in the room including the maid from before.

The two female were definitely nurses and one foreign looking man seem to be a doctor with a white coat. The fourth man was most probably the Butler of the house by his way of dressing.

They all seemed relieved to see her awake which made her rethink about who these people were.

”How are you feeling Miss?” The Doctor came forward and asked.

Lu Xinyi looked like a deer caught in headlight and looked at the intimidating Butler who was assessing her with a glare and hesitantly nodded her head.

”Arr...I mean-Forget it. Miss can you tell me your name?” The Doctor asked again.

Lu Xinyi frowned her brows and blinked her eyes, ”I..I don't know. Who am I?”

The Doctor didn't look surprised as if he was already expecting this but nodded and wrote something on his clip board, ”Miss you are Lei Xinyi. Now, Lei Xinyi I would like to take some tests of you to make sure everything is Okay.”

Frightened and helpless Lu Xinyi asked again, ”Wh...What happened to me?”
