Chapter 214 Awake After A Year
Leonica had her eyes closed, peacefully sleeping when a single snowdrop from outside found it’s way through the window of her hospital room. It landed in the tip of her nose, melting almost instantly.
The cold liquidly sensation had her finger twitching, one, twice and then her eyes fluttered open.
At first, her sight was blurred. Everything seemed distorted and unfamiliar. Her eyes wandered around the room, taking in her surroundings and her head spun.
‘What happened? Where am I?’
These were the questions that raced through her mind, the feeling of dizziness and confusion clouding her brain and then the entire thing came flooding back Into her mind.
Irene kidnapping her, pushing her into the water, Owen coming to her rescue and the last thing she heard, the sound of him begging her to stay awake.
All that, had happened how long ago? She thought as she sat up, looking around the room to assess the situation of where she was.
It was neither heaven not hell, but a hospital room.
‘How long did I sleep for?’ She thought, glancing from the hospital machines, IV bags and almost whether Dahlias on the nightstand beside her.
She reached out to touch them, wondering if they were real, but she had to stop when the door to her room suddenly came open.
The sudden noise startled her and she flinched ever so slightly, turning around to meet Owen standing at the door, a look of surprise on his face.
