Rebirth

At the XX hospital in the city W

----------------------------------

Tuut...tuut...tuut

The mechanical sound of the heartbeat monitor resounded across the four walls of the dimly lit room.

A girl was lying on the bed with an artificial resuscitator. Her face was so pale void of any colours. She looked like a sleeping beauty cursed to sleep forever by the evil witch.

As if broken from the curse, her eyelids fluttered like a butterfly and she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision blurred initially and cleared after some time.

'W-what am I in heaven ??' she thought.

Well her thought was proved wrong almost instantly by the beeping sound from different high-tech monitoring machines beside her bed.

As her thoughts ran wild, the pitch of her heartbeat also increased causing the alarm to reverberate across the room.

Soon she heard a series of hurried footsteps rushed to her room.

She could vaguely hear the gasp escaping from them.

" Sh-she is a-awake!!" she heard a young nurse stuttering before her consciousness faded away.

At Wei's mansion in the city W

-------------------------------

Aunt Zhang ran as if her life is on the line along the long corridor to reach the living room.

Seeing the hurried and somewhat tattered figure of Aunt Zhang, Madam Wei had a premonition that something must have happened in the hospital.

"What happened Aunt Zhang? Did something happen in the hospital?"

Aunt Zhang couldn't reply due to lack of breath as she ran across the hall in her old age.

Seeing that Aunt Zhang hasn't replied yet Madam Wei began to panic.

Feeling the nervousness of his wife Master Wei couldn't help but rush Aunt Zhang to reply.

"Master...Madam...Y-young miss h-has..."

"What happened to the young miss??" both the masters of the house asked in high alert.

"Young miss has woken up, Master" Aunt Zhang's eyes were now full of tears and some of them have made their way to her cheeks.

Hearing the unexpected reply from Aunt Zhang, Wei couple stilled like a stone statue. It was for this phrase that they have waited for so many years. And now they don't know what to do as it happened.

"I-is it true? , Aunt Zhang. Did my Lan-er wake up for real?" Madam Wei's voice trembled slightly at the end.

"Yes, Madam. Our young miss has truly woken up. God finally listened to our prayer Madam." even with the tears Aunt Zhang's smile was full of relief and happiness.

"My child...I want to see my daughter now" Madam Wei exclaimed with joy on the thought of seeing her daughter.

"Yeah, let's go to the hospital. Aunt Zhang, inform the driver to prepare the car" Master Wei said to Aunt Zhang when he was already on his way to the entrance.

Back at XX hospital

----------------------

When Han Aera opened her eyes once again, she was in the same room but now it was brightly lit.

Seeing that she had woken up again, the nurse who was there to monitor to her, ran rapidly to call the doctor.

Soon, a man that appeared to be in his 40's wearing a white lab coat approaches her.

"Hello, Ms Wei. Can you hear me? If so, please blink twice" The doctor's voice inquired as he leans closer to her. She tried to blink but her eyelids were so heavy as if some weight was placed on them.

In the end, she did blink twice with some struggle. Now Han Aera's thought was in a deep mess.

'What the hell is happening? Didn't I die in the flight crash? I did feel my body being engulfed in fire. It definitely can't be saved. Then how the heck I am here?'

'Wait can it be something like what I read in the novels...Is it rebirth...transmigration...time travel...'

'First I need to confirm whether this body is mine or not...mirror...oh mirror, where are you?'

"M-mirror" her voice sounded hoarse as an effect for being in the coma for a long time.

Hearing her words, the nurse was dumbfounded.' Of all the things she asked for a mirror first!'. But she did bring a mirror to her.

Seeing the reflection of 14-15 years old Asian girl with delicate facial features and milky white skin which was now so pale due to undernourishment, Han Aera was dumbfounded.

'The girl in the reflection is a great beauty even though she looks ghostly pale right now. But it is not me. Who is she? '

'Wait...The doctor did call her...I mean me as Ms Wei'

As if on the queue the door to the room was wide opened.
