Daisy Ginger woke up from her sleep, already three days later.
She had been in a deep sleep for a long time, and when she woke up, her mind was hazy, as if covered by a thin transparent membrane, with sounds and smells coming through, all blurry.
Someone was crying beside her ear.
It was noisy and gave her a slight headache.
She tried to open her eyes but felt like her eyelids were glued shut. Her eyelashes fluttered, but she couldn’t open them.
"Daisy..." the woman cried, "Wuwuwu... Why hasn’t she woken up yet? Didn’t the doctor say she would wake up today?"
"You’re mourning," the man beside her said irritably, "If you keep crying, the whole Banyan City will be flooded by you."
"I’m just upset." The woman’s voice was hoarse, with a nasal tone, "Look at Daisy, she’s lost so much weight, and it’s only been a few days..."
After speaking, she sobbed quietly again.
Daisy gingerly exerted all her strength and finally managed to open her eyelids. Sunshine poured in, and she saw Zoe Hilker sitting beside her, holding one of her hands, and Ethan Pond leaning against the window sill with a frown on his face.
Her mind felt fuzzy, and Daisy shook her head, trying to turn around. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in her right leg, and she let out a low "um," startling the two people.
Ethan quickly walked over from the window side, the man’s brow furrowed slightly, looking down at her with concern in his deep black eyes.
"You’re awake? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Zoe Hilker sat at the bedside, her eyes wide like a startled rabbit, clutching her hand tightly. When she saw Daisy open her eyes, tears streamed down her face, she sobbed and couldn’t speak: "Daisy... Wuwuwu."
Daisy’s fingers gently moved, reassuring Zoe by curling them a few times in her palm, then with a dry voice, she softly asked, "How many days have I slept?"
"Three days," Zoe whimpered, "Like you were dead, you scared me to death."
"Shut up." Ethan unhappily gave her head a firm pat, "Gloomy talk." He turned to Daisy, explaining, "You exhausted yourself too much, the doctor said you need sleep to replenish your energy. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, I’ll call the doctor."
Daisy had a leg fracture, which wasn’t connected in time, hence they broke it again for surgery, but she hadn’t suffered many external injuries.
She had been kidnapped, experiencing severe mental stress, and needed hospitalization to observe her emotional state.
Daisy slowly blinked, looking around. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Her dark eyes moved very slowly, her long eyelashes remained still, like a newborn baby, scrutinizing the surrounding environment.
After a while, she said softly, "I’m a bit thirsty." Licking her dry lips, Daisy gently made a request, "Lying here is a bit tiring, can you help me turn over."
Zoe Hilker immediately turned around to pour her a cup of warm water, using a straw to bring it to her lips. After Daisy drank a few sips, she and Ethan helped Daisy turn over.
The stiff muscles on her back relaxed, she let out a slow breath, closed her eyes while laying on her side.
"I’m okay now," Daisy said, "I’ll sleep a bit more."
Zoe Hilker and Ethan stayed by the bedside, watching Daisy comfortably close her eyes, looking like she was about to fall back asleep.
Zoe Hilker blinked her pretty big eyes and suddenly asked, "Daisy, is there really nothing else going on?"
