Chapter 314: Come Back To Me
One day after the harrowing incident, Rain stirred awake in her hospital bed. The faint beeping of monitors and the soft murmur of voices filled the air. Her eyelids fluttered open, revealing Aunt Melanie leaning over her, tears of relief streaming down her face.
"She’s awake! Call the doctors now!" Melanie cried her voice a mix of joy and urgency.
Rain blinked, her throat dry, and managed to croak out the first thought that came to her mind. "Alexander... Where’s Alexander?"
Her body felt heavy, and a gnawing worry gripped her heart. She attempted to shift, but a sharp pain radiated through her body, stopping her. "I... need to see him," she murmured weakly.
"Soon," Melanie promised, brushing Rain’s hair back tenderly. "Let the doctors check you first."
Rain searched her aunt’s face, but Melanie’s evasive tone only heightened her anxiety. Something wasn’t right. Her body stiffened as dread crept in.
"Aunt, I’m feeling better," she insisted, attempting to sit up despite the discomfort. Just then, Sanya entered the room, her eyes red from crying, followed by a medical team.
"Thank God you’re finally awake," Sanya said, her voice breaking as tears fell.
Rain closed her eyes briefly, then fixed Sanya with a firm gaze. "Where is Alexander? I want to see him right now!" Her voice, though weak, carried unmistakable urgency.
