Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Daisy is awake

Daisy's eyelids fluttered open and then furrowed slightly at the sunlight streaming through the curtains.

Afterwards, she looked around in confusion only to be surrounded by the white sterile walls.

For a minute, she was lost.

'Why does it look like I'm in a hospital?' she wondered.

Lowering her head slightly, she was a bit surprised to see Violet already fast asleep with her head on the bed just beside her.

Her heart squeezed slightly at that. The poor girl had stayed up all night to watch over her and had probably just fallen asleep.

It was just Violet in her ward but she knew her dad would be somewhere around.

'What happened?' she muttered while staring at various medical devices, their wires and tubes her body was tethered to. The room was silent, except for the faint beeping of the monitoring equipment.

She tried to get up but she still felt weak, so she could only ease the weight of her frail body against the pillows as she propped herself up.
