A terrifying scream jolted me awake. I sat up, and a comforting arm wrapped around me. "Chlo, don't be afraid..."

I gasped for air and stared at the refined features before me. Still shaken, I looked at him and murmured, "Atlas, a car hit us, and I flew out of the car window..."

I was unsure how to respond, considering it was just a dream.

"Don't be scared. It's all over now. Look!" Atlas reassured me tenderly.

I scanned the surroundings and suddenly remembered Lauren. I looked down at the bed, and a sudden realization hit me. "Lauren... Where is she?"

Atlas patted my back and softly whispered, "They're still resuscitating her."

My whole body stiffened. "Resuscitation?"

I quickly pushed Atlas away.

"I need to see her. Why do they need to resuscitate her? Is she seriously injured? She saved me..."
