Waiting at Lyndsy's bedside, Cassandra dozed off at times but was woken up by the nurse who came and checked on the patient from time to time.
It was dawn when Lyndsy finally opened her eyes the following day.
With misty eyes, Cassandra jumped up and leaned toward her.
"Lyndsy, how are you feeling?"
she asked with concern.
"It feels like I just had a long, long dream,"
Lyndsy murmured as her eyelids fluttered heavily.
Cassandra, trying to fight back her welling tears, started to tell her friend reassuringly, "It is okay, Lyndsy, you will be fine as long as you wake up now."
She then pressed the call bell at the bedside, and a doctor and a nurse arrived.
After checking on Lyndsy, the doctor let out a sigh of relief. He seemed pleased with what happened.
"She has gotten past the critical period. She will now slowly recover,"
The doctor's words made Cassandra breathe freely again. At that moment, Lyndsy reached out and touched the side of her face that was still covered with gauze.
"What is wrong with my face?"
Lyndsy uttered. Her eyes were full of horror.
"It is okay, Lyndsy, you will recover eventually,"
Cassandra immediately reassured her as she hastily took her friend's hand away for fear that she might touch her wound.
"Cassandra, what is wrong with my face? Tell me!"
Lynsy demanded. She was a movie star! Her face was her livelihood. She could not go on with her profession if her face were disfigured.
Lyndsy clutched Cassandra's hand, scanning her eyes for information.
"Nothing, Lyndsy. Don't be worried. Your cheeks just got scratched when you fell down. It will recover soon, don't worry,"
Cassandra replied, trying to quell her anxiety.
Now, the ward door opened and Lyndsy's parents came rushing in.
