Chapitre 25: Chapter 24

THE LOUD SOUND OF BEEPING WOKE ME UP.

The strong, pungent smell of hospital disinfectant invaded my nostrils, causing my nose to scrunch up. My eyes slowly fluttered open, immediately squinting into slits as a bright, harsh light filled the room. The room was eerily silent apart from my heavy, ragged breathing and the quiet beeping from the monitor. I glanced around the empty room, taking in the white washed walls and bouquet of large flowers that stood on the side table. I shut my eyes briefly, trying to remember what exactly had happened that I ended up here.

The door suddenly creaked open and my eyes snapped open. A doctor walked in, a brick-like expression on his face. I immediately shrunk back into my bed as he came to a robotic stop at the end of my bed. His eyes were a grey colour, like concrete as he stared at me. His black hair was gelled back neatly, not a single strand out of place.
