YM778.TV Chapter 3 - She Is Awake
"What should we do?"
"I don\'t know what\'s happening. Let\'s take him to the hospital first.."
"You…What about the culprits behind this? Boss ordered us to search for them. How can we go against his orders?"
"Half of us stay here and the rest will take the boss to the hospital. You both, take Young Miss\'s body.."
"Hurry…"
…
The darkness seemed to be never-ending as she walked.
Everything seemed so surreal, she tried to open her mouth, she wanted to shout out loud but it seemed like her mouth couldn\'t move, it was painful the moment she moved her lips.
It has been a long time she was walking like this, a very long time.
It was not until she saw a tiny ray of light that she felt there was a way out of this place.
Her racing heart seemed to have calmed down as she followed the white ray, the ray that brought her hope.
She followed behind it until the brightness intensified. Every inch of her body ached yet she dragged herself towards the source of light.
"N..No…I mus..t leave.."
She wanted to escape the place desperately, it gave her a terrifying feeling as if it would cage her forever the moment she gave up.
After what seemed like a long time, she stood there in front of glaring lights. She was blinded by its intensity which caused her to cover her face with both her hands. There was a flash and…
\'Bang\' The girl lying on the king-sized bed sat up in a flash, the syringe attached to her hand dragged the rest of the pieces of equipment down with it.
Her eyes widened as she panted, her long hair covered her face "I..I.." she stuttered, "A-Alive.." a whisper left her mouth.
Her throat was parched, it hurt her to speak a single word but she ignored everything, no pain mattered as long as she was not dead.
She did not want to die. There were many things she wanted to do. Moreover, she did not want to part from her loved ones.
Amidst her thoughts, she noticed her surrounding which seemed to be a part of some fairytale.
Pink wall, pink ceiling, pink bed, pink bedsheets, it seemed someone has dyed everything pink.
She pursed her lips, the color somewhat did not sit well with her.
An uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart.
"Who...Who are you?" Her gaze landed on the nurse standing in the corner, looking at her in disbelief as if she had seen some ghost.
The nurse was stunned as she looked at the girl in front of her. There was no difference between her and a dead person a moment ago, she was surviving entirely because of the advanced life-supporting system. Her breathing was weak to the point of being negligible.
"Steward Gu...Steward Gu.." The young woman screamed excitedly as she ran out of the room without looking back, "Steward Gu, Miss Yu is awake." Han Mei could still hear her shouting and yelling as her voice got slowly distant.
Han Mei helplessly glanced in the direction of the door. Why did she run without explaining the situation to her? Just who exactly saved her? And where is her brother? How long has she been unconscious? She must thank her savior and…wait!
"M-Miss Yu?" Her calmed heart raced yet again as her eyes turned wide.
…
"What?" Steward Gu was stunned as he heard the news, "Miss Yu is awake?" he asked as if trying to confirm that there were no problems with his hearing.
It has been one month since her accident, her condition seemed to be worsening every second as every medical institution confirmed that she won\'t be able to make it.
"Yes, she is awake,\'\' The nurse replied, much to his astonishment.
The man took a few seconds to compose himself as he turned around to look at the female servants standing behind him, "You...Go and inform Master about it right now."
The female servant\'s face scrunched up, "Master doesn\'t care.."
Stewards Gu coldly interrupted her, "It is not our business. No matter what, she is his legally wedded wife."
The servant girl frowned as a disgusted look appeared in her eyes, "But.."
"Do what you are told to," the man warned the servant.
The other female servant asked, "Shall we inform Madam and Miss Yu\'s family about it?"
Steward Gu contemplated it for a few seconds before shaking his head, "We should wait for Master\'s order."
"Yes," Both the maids retreated as Steward Gu glanced at the nurse, "You know what to do," he said.
The nurse meekly nodded her head. She knew how to deal with the information she came to know by chance.
It should be buried as the deepest secret in her mind or else she won\'t be spared from being buried underground in the large space around the grand mansion.
"Is Miss Yu all alone by herself in the room? Or have you asked the servants to take care of her?" Steward Gu was suddenly reminded of it as he asked the question.
The nurse swallowed her saliva, "No...She is all alone…I left in a hurry."
Steward Gu frowned before walking upstairs, ignoring the terrified nurse who followed behind him.
…
"Mi...Miss Yu?" Han Mei stopped her thoughts from running wild as she shook her head, "She must have confused me for somebody else. Yeah, that must be it."
She pulled the pink duvets off her body while trying to stand up from the bed, but the moment her feet touched the ground, she staggered before falling back on the bed. Damn! Why did her body feel so heavy?
Although it was painful everywhere, but what was the weird feeling that came along with it?
"Ahh.." she cried out in pain before looking at her hand, it was a bloody mess caused to the syringe being tugged wrongly.
But what she noticed was not the blood, nor it was her pain that grabbed her attention.
