Sydney was unconscious for three days.

When she finally woke up, she found herself in a ward. She felt as though every bone in her body was broken.

Her mind was in a fuzzy mess and her eyelids felt as though they were glued shut. She couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried.

A faint smell of disinfectant drifted into her nose.

A soft, warm towel caressed her eyes; soon, she could open them as her vision was slowly brought to focus. She turned her head slowly and saw Christopher seated at her bedside, his eyes filled with worry.

Sydney opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
