Beyond the Divorce

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..."

His eyes were fixed on me. "Chlo, did you remember something?"

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..."

My voice choked as tears welled up. "Take me there. I need to wait for her. Nothing can happen to her!"
