Bab 55: I will get my revenge soon enough
Today should have been just another day.
I emphasize the word "usual" because this day might be the day I die.
Why? For that, we need to go back a few minutes.
I was riding the motorcycle I bought in New York some time ago. It was quite enjoyable to ride. It was a special feeling. I could feel the wind and everything.
I was driving as I should. I didn't even go over the speed limit since I had no reason to rush. I was going to visit Haley.
I drove forward and was waiting at a crossing. It didn't take long before I could start moving again. The streets were pretty empty, and I could drive smoothly. After I crossed the long intersection, I suddenly heard a loud sound.
I turned around and saw a car hitting the back of my motorcycle at full speed.
I had no chance to react and was immediately thrown across the street. I rolled around several times and felt something stuck in my back.
This is my current situation.
I can feel the blood flowing out of my body through several wounds, the largest one on my back. Something must be stuck in it.
Luckily, I was wearing protective clothing and a helmet. Otherwise, I would have probably died from the impact alone.
My mind was racing. But that only lasted a few seconds. As more and more blood left my body, my thoughts slowed down.
I saw several people coming over and calling 911.
I also saw a police car arrive seconds after I was hit.
They arrested the guy who hit me. It seems he was a fugitive trying to escape.
I tried to think about something to keep myself conscious. I thought about Haley. I thought about the Dunphys, the Pritchetts, Barney, Jessica, and all the people I had already met.
Thinking about everyone helped in some way. I could remain conscious for a while, but it wasn't enough.
I soon lost too much blood and fell unconscious.
But something very strange happened. I could still feel my surroundings.
"System, what is going on?" I asked. I was very confused. I couldn't feel pain or anything. I couldn't see, but I could perceive the basic situation around me.
[Host is in a coma, and the skill Instinct is able to overload its capability due to many body functions going into a deep sleep.]
The system provided a basic explanation of what was happening.
I couldn't perceive time, so I didn't know how long it took, but soon I sensed paramedics arriving at the scene.
They put me into the ambulance and drove me to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I suddenly perceived something inside a figure. It was highlighted with a weird color in my mind.
"Why is that figure highlighted like that?" I asked the system.
[That is a figure you know. Meredith Grey.]
I knew I must have been brought to her hospital. I remembered her from when I broke a bone one or two years ago.
The figure soon came over and started to treat me.
It didn't take long before they put me in an operating room. Some other figures began to operate on me. It was quite weird seeing myself being operated on.
Soon, I saw another familiar aura outside. I sensed that it was Haley. She seemed anxious. After that, the Dunphys and the Pritchetts arrived, including Cam, Mitch, and Lily.
It was nice to see them care so much for me.
The operation seemed to take ages. I could only somehow measure the time based on the movement of the figures.
I perceived everything as a 2D world with only white figures and some figures with colors.
After the operation was finally finished, I was moved to what I assumed was a ward.
Soon after being brought to the ward, my parents and siblings arrived.
They were probably late because they had to fly here from the other side of the US.
The last ones to come were Barney and Jessica, my lawyer.
I was relieved to see everyone.
I was in a coma for a long time.
But I still woke up.
The first thing I could do was move my fingers, then my palm, then my arm, and soon after, I could open my eyes.
It was the middle of the night, and only my family and Haley were still there. The others had already gone home.
I looked at the clock. It showed the time and the date.
It was 3 a.m., three days after my motorcycle accident.
I tried to shake Haley and my mom awake since they were closest to my arms.
But my back and everything hurt.
After a few seconds, I finally managed to speak.
"GUYS, I'M AWAKE," I tried to wake them up, but to no avail.
After several more tries, someone finally woke up.
It was my father.
"Ethan?! YOU'RE AWAKE," my father said joyfully while hugging me.
"OUCH, that hurts, Dad," I immediately screamed.
"Sorry, son," my father quickly apologized.
Soon after, everyone else woke up.
"ETHAN," they all exclaimed. Everyone hugged me too. It was a small torture due to the pain.
"The guy who hit you was escaping from the police. It seems he was a member of a gang here in LA. Do you want us to do, you know what?" my father asked me suddenly.
"No need. I will handle it myself," I said, remembering the car of the guy who hit me. I will remember this for a long time.
"Are you sure, dear?" my mom asked, concerned.
"No need. I will get my revenge soon enough," I said, trying to calm her down.
After that, the first doctors came.
It was Dr. Richard Webber, the Chief of Surgery, who told me about my condition.
I was very lucky. I only had some fractures all over my body. The most major thing that could have killed me was a small part of the motorcycle penetrating my back. I lost a lot of blood due to that, but the surgeons were able to fix the injury. Luckily, no organs were hit.
I got away with a scar and some time for rehabilitation.
It seems a miracle happened this time. Most people would have died in a crash like this.
After a week of examination, I got the news that I would be somewhat fit again.
It was only one and a half months. I could easily celebrate Halloween with the others.
They were also very surprised. It usually takes about two to two and a half months, but they didn't think it was something supernatural.
They thought it was a combination of my young age, my healthy body, and my almost perfect metabolism.
