Vano opened his eyes when the faint sound of someone talking tickled his ears. When Vano tried to wake up by moving his body, the teenager immediately hissed because of the stinging pain from his right shoulder. When Vano tried to remember what had happened before, the teenager finally remembered that someone had tried to stab him before this. Because of Vano's reflexes, he managed to avoid being stabbed in a vital part and only injured his right shoulder. Vano didn't know whether to be sad or laugh. His life was saved this time, only because his trauma relapsed at the wrong time.
"Vano? Are you okay, Sweety?"
Vano immediately felt guilty when his mother, who was initially talking focused on the doctor, finally realized that Vano was now conscious. From her face alone, Vano could tell that his mother had just finished crying. Her white face was flushed red, and her clear eyes were filled with tears again as her hands gently stroked her son's face.
