2 Disorientation

16 hours after surgery...

Wang Rong woke up, faintly seeing a strange looking room with the sound of machines beeping around her, feeling disoriented she reached a hand to touch her face, only to find that it was wrapped in a bandage.

All of a sudden, an overwhelming feeling of being suffocated took over her mind.

"Is anyone there! Help!!!!"

Trapped in an unknown place, she became hysterical, shouting through dry patchy throat as she called for someone to rescue her, not long after the sound of a door opening came from a corner of the room.

"It's her, I think she's now conscious. Get Dr. Kang to come see her!"

A nurse in uniform of bright pink and white gown, walked up to the heavily bandaged woman lying on the bed.

"Good afternoon, I'm Nurse Kim, I'll be the one looking after you until you are discharged from the hospital."

The voice of the woman, was that of one in her forties. Although, she spoke softly to Wang Rong, there was a no nonsense undertone to it.

"Where am I?"

An hoarse voice came from the woman on the bed, who laid flat on her back, as the nurse's eyes ran through her body.

"You are at ZhuWei Community Hospital, we are a very small hospital that cater to only low level cases. I'm surprised that Dr. Kang allowed you to be seen at our hospital, despite knowing that we only have two doctors. He is too nice for his own good!"

Wang Rong did not know whether to take what the nurse said as a compliment or not, one thing she could tell was that the other woman was not happy that she was seen at the hospital.

"Hmm..Nurse Kim..."

"Yes?"

"Are my injuries that bad?!"

Wang Rong could only see very little through the light material of the bandage, therefore it was difficult to judge the expression on the nurse's face.

"I'll have to leave that for Dr. Kang to explain to you. Let me check your vital sign so that I can have something to show to your doctor."

The moment the nurse reached for the hand on the bed cover, Wang Rong could read the thought of the other woman.

"Why is she asking so much questions?! Is she the only one in the hospital? If not for Dr. Kang, her body will be at the morgue! Hmph! What an ungrateful woman!"

Dusgusted by the thought of her nurse, Wang Rong threw the other woman's hand away from hers, she felt as though tiny ants were crawling on her skin from the brief contact it made with those of the nurse.

"Where do you think you are?! Please don't give me any trouble! I just need to check your pulse and do your blood pressure and temperature reading!"

The nurse scrunched her face in annoyance at the difficult patient that was in her hand, left to her, she would have walked out and told the doctor of what Wang Rong did during her checkup.

"Get away from me!"

Wang Rong kept screaming at the woman, who looked alarmed and confused by what she did, shortly after this, a knock sounded followed by the door opening.

"Thank God! Dr. Kang, you arrived just in time!"
