751 Im Finally Home (1/2)
He kept pushing and pushing until he finally managed to find his way back home...
His eyes fluttered, it took him a lot of effort to actually open his eyes but as soon as he, his vision was dark. Whether opening his eyes or closing, it was the same. He didn't panic. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening his eyes again. This time, he could see some light around him. It was bleak but it was there.
Slowly, the light brightened as he managed to see around with a blurry vision.
”Mr. Salvay,” he heard someone calling him. He didn't move. ”Can you hear me?”
Dr. Ling had been checking up on him every hour. But hadn't seen any change in his condition. He had already been subconscious for 38 hours. She thought if this continued, his condition might get worse after 48 hours. So, she had actually been anxious. She had already seen how important this patient was. Why else would she see two other doctors called for him apart from her?
So, now that she saw Darren's eyes opening slowly when she had just come to his side, she was pleasantly surprised. More like she could finally breathe again in peace. She had never been this nervous with any of her patients before.
”Mr. Salvay,” her voice was soft and soothing. ”Tell me if you hear me.”
Darren tried to nod but his head was feeling heavy. He slowly focused his gaze on the person standing beside him and soon, the face before him cleared up. A female doctor's dark black eyes stared back at him, patiently waiting for his response. When she noticed that his eyes were staring at him intently, she could vaguely tell that he could see her clearly and he could hear her as well.
He opened his mouth but nothing came out. No sound. He frowned because of this.
Dr. Ling pressed her lips and gave him a reassuring smile, ”Is it difficult to talk? Take it easy. Do you want to drink some water? Just blink twice to let me know.”
Darren blinked twice slowly and she hurriedly put a straw in his mouth. As he felt the warm water flowing down his throat, he felt much better.
Dr. Ling checked his vitals and after confirming everything was fine, she asked, ”Can you see me clearly?” Darren blinked twice again. ”That's a relief,” she sighed out.
