"What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I crying? Wasn't I always alone since I was a child, and I was used to it? What was so different about it this time? Get a grip, you pathetic coward!"
Asher couldn't understand why he was acting so pathetic, but he couldn't help feeling sad about the fact that all his memories about meeting his new family, becoming Asher Blake, and getting the love he had never felt before were mere hallucinations.
He closed his eyes and tried to block out everything, wishing that he could wake up from this nightmare, but it was impossible.
It wasn't long before the nurse noticed that Asher was awake and rushed to his side. She called out to him in a gentle tone as she checked his vitals on the monitor beside her.
"Hello there, young man. How are you feeling?"
"I don't feel any pain right now. How long have I been asleep?" Asher voiced out.
