Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Michelle’s eyes fluttered open, revealing the hospital room she was currently in.

“Why am I here?” she asked no one in particular, as she didn’t notice her mother’s presence in the room.

Mrs. Stewart scoots closer to her daughter who was finally awake. She had been waiting for Michelle to wake up for five days now and was getting really worried, considering the fact that the doctor said Michelle’s unconsciousness was due to the hard impact her head made with the floor.

“Michelle, you’re finally awake!” Leah excitedly said, taking Michelle’s hand in hers.

“Who are you?” Michelle asked, confused by the strange woman’s action. She can’t remember knowing her.

Michelle’s question wiped off the happiness that was previously evident on Leah’s face.

“It’s me, your mother.” Leah explained, as she tried to hide her sadness with a forced smile.

“Don’t you remember me?” she asked Michelle.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t.” Michelle replied with a frown on her face.
