Chapter 4: The Last Straw
Anita’s eyes fluttered open to find herself lying on a hospital bed. Her nose scrunched up. She wasn’t a fan of hospitals. They carried too many unpleasant memories.
"You’re awake," his annoying voice sounded again, prompting Anita to roll her eyes.
"What are you still doing here? Crawl back into the hole you came out from, Killian," she glared at him.
If only looks could kill.
However, he smiled but this time, it was restrained and that was when Anita noticed his countenance had changed...or, when she felt her own body had changed.
Her frown deepened. Trying to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her entire body. A subconscious yelp escaped her lips, prompting Killian to rush over to support her, but Anita flung his hands off.
"Don’t you bloody touch me!"
But of course, he wouldn’t listen. "Don’t move around carelessly. Please lay down. I’ll get the doctor."
Anita also realized that she had no strength to struggle. She was in pain. Severe pain.
He watched her being obedient for once and sighed with relief before striding out to get a doctor.
Soon, he returned with a team of doctors, who quickly carried out tests after tests on Anita.
