Along with the gentle movements of her finger, her eyelids fluttered slowly open and the hospital's room came to her view.

Shui gasped with slightly parting her lips. "You are awake…"

She immediately rushed outside and brought the doctor-in-charge a few minutes later. He quickly did a cursory checkup and asked some questions.

"Miss, Can you hear me?"

Ren Alix slowly shifted her attention towards him and nodded.

"Good," he wrote it down, "Do you know your name?"

"...Ren Alix."

He proceeded with some basic cognitive and memory tests and then asked, "Do you remember the day of your accident?"

"Not clearly."

He nodded. "That can happen."

"How long since I have been here?"

"Four months."

"I see."

"Do not take stress, Miss. Ren. You will recover in no time," he reassured her with a smile. "For now, please focus on resting and regaining your strength."
