21 Car Acciden (1/2)
Hui Yin slowly blinked her eyes open, she carefully observed her surroundings. Smelling the faint scent of disinfectant.
'I am in the hospital..?'
She slowly sat up on the bed, feeling slightly dizzy, she tried to recall what happened. As soon as she did, she pressed the button beside her bed to call for a nurse.
”wa..ter” Hui Yin croaked. The nurse gave her a glass of water with a straw to help her. Soon, she felt the coolness of the water slowly slipping down her throat, hydrating her.
”Good morning Miss?”
”Hu...Anna, Anna Lin”
”My name is Belinda, your attending nurse, let me call the doctor for you first, Ms. Anna” the nurse paged the doctor and while they waited, Belinda asked her a few questions
”Ms. Anna-” the nurse politely started
”Anna will do” she interrupted her ”how is the boy?”
”okay, Anna, the boy was discharged the day of the accident, he only had a light gash on his knee, he kept coming here to visit you while you were unconscious. How do you feel?”
”I feel fine. It was just a mild bump, resulting to a mild concussion I presume? How many days was I out?”
”ah..? two days. Are you perhaps...a nurse as well?”
”No, I'm a licensed doctor”
”oh...” just as she was about to ask another question, the door swung open and a man in his late 30's came in. A white lab coat hanging on both shoulders, a stethoscope on his neck.
” Hello Anna” he said as he warmly smiled at her
”Derek, may I be discharged now?”
”you are still the same way as before” he laughed. ”not even bothering to ask me how I've been?”
”how are you?”
”I'm fine, you aren't though. While it is true that you have a mild concussion, the bruises you have on both arms and your left leg is beyond that. You have a sprained ankle as well, this would make it hard to walk”
”how many days?”
”a week, two at most.” he sighed ”really, you have a knack for saving kids on streets, you did that most of the time as well” the nurse who looked at them confused suddenly cleared her throat, causing both heads to turn to her.
”uhmm Dr. Derek, what...should I do?” she felt out of place as she watched the two converse. Belinda was surprised that the both of them knew each other
