Chapter 1
The first thing Tristan saw after opening his eyes was the solid white ceiling.
The constant beep sound was giving him a sharp headache.
He noticed his whole body felt sluggish and in pain.
He observed his surroundings, ignoring his discomfort of eyesight.
The sudden sound of someone opening the door took his attention.
Mable
Mr. Smith! You're awake!
Mable
Please don't be surprised. I'll go call the doctor right away.
The nurse left in a hurry.
Tristan closed his eyes as he knew he can't do anything.
His body was in a condition as if he had been sleeping for a long time.
He needed help with sitting up. Thus it was futile to try anything.
As the door opened again, the doctor accompanied by the nurse he saw earlier entered.
Doctor
Mr. Smith, how are you feeling?
His voice was unusually hoarse and it was uncomfortable to speak.
Doctor
Nurse, please check his condition and take notes.
Doctor
[Nervous] Ahem... Mr. Smith, don't panic by what I'm going to say.
Doctor
You've been unconscious for 47 days.
The doctor was a little shocked to see the unusual and unexpected calmness.
Doctor
You'll feel discomfort in movement and speaking. Your senses are also sensitive. You'll recover in a few days.
Doctor
I have already informed your family. Your parents will arrive soon.
Doctor
The nurse will stay with you, if you face any difficulties and require any help feel free to ask her.
Doctor
Then I'll take my leave.
The nurse handed the medical file over to the doctor as he left.
Tristan Smith
Excuse me...
Tristan Smith
What is my name?
