Aria sighed and opened her mouth to reply, but was cut short by the arrival of Miss Anhao. "It's time for Aria to have her lunch. And I advice you to head to the dining hall too Miss Geogra, you will miss lunch otherwise." she said as she set the tray on Aria bedside table and began preparing to feed her.
"Just think about it, okay Aria?" Sally said as she rushed out of the recovery ward.
"Please do not run in here!" Miss Anhao called out as she sat down.
God!!! I swear I've never been happier to see you Miss Anhao!" Aria exclaimed as she slumped deeper into the bed and closed her eyes with an exhausted sigh.
Miss Anhao chuckled. "Why would you be happy to see a nurse when you're severely injured? Her real work is to save you from unwanted visitors." she said as she brought a spoonful to Aria's mouth.
Aria let out a tired chuckle as she opened her mouth and began eating.
Aria was dead tired after a couple of hours after lunch, and her eyelids were drooping as she assured one of her very worried friend that she would be perfectly alright, when Miss Anhao came to her rescue once again.
"I can assure you that she is in the best hands possible, Miss Aria will be as strong as ever very soon. But for that, she needs proper rest." Miss Anhao said and Aria smiled gratefully at her as her friend stood up and went away after saying goodbye.
"Get some sleep okay? I'll come wake you at dinner. Call out if you're awake before then." she added turning around and Aria let herself finally close her eyes.
She was just drifting into a very peaceful sleep when Miss Anhao's raised voice woke her up.
"Like I said, I cannot let you visit her." she was saying.
"Miss Aria's asleep I'm afraid. Please come back once she is awake." Miss Anhao spoke after a short pause. "I'm glad she's allowing no one." Aria thought as she closed her eyes once again. But at Miss Anhao's next sentence, her eyes flew open.
"Mr. White!! I would advise you not to try to force yourself in!!!" Miss Anhao was saying. "I will be forced to knock you out if you d- . . . . . " her sentence was cut short by Aria's shout.
"Jacob!!!" Aria shouted as her eyes flew open and she jerked herself as if to get up, but the pain that shot through her body the next second turned her shout into a wince as she held back a scream of pain.
Aria was breathing heavily and recovering from the pain her sudden movement had caused her when Miss Anhao and Jacob burst into the ward, both looking deathly worried.
"What's wrong?" Jacob asked as Miss Anhao massaged her forehead. "I swear to god Aria, I will resume giving you pain reducers." she said, sounding defeated.
Aria made a guilty face as she said, "I'm really sorry. I did it unconsciously. But it won't happen again. I promise." Miss Anhao rolled her eyes and Aria added, "I'll stop whining about everything."
"And could you please allow Jacob to stay?" she asked. Miss Anhao sighed as she walked away, "You better make good on your promise."
After she was gone, Jacob turned to Aria and was surprised to find her looking towards with the window and frowning.
