Sydney was unconscious for three days.

When she finally woke up, she found herself in a ward. She felt as though every bone in her body was broken.

Her mind was in a fuzzy mess and her eyelids felt as though they were glued shut. She couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried.

A faint smell of disinfectant drifted into her nose.

A soft, warm towel caressed her eyes; soon, she could open them as her vision was slowly brought to focus. She turned her head slowly and saw Christopher seated at her bedside, his eyes filled with worry.

Sydney opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Christopher put the towel down and said in a small voice, "You're finally awake. I'll get you some water."

He turned around and poured a glass of water for Sydney. Then, he carefully sat her up and put the glass to her lips.

Sydney gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. Her throat hurt, and she started coughing. Christopher patted her back gently.

Sydney's whole body was in terrible pain.

Christopher pressed a button next to the bed. A doctor walked in shortly after, and he checked Sydney thoroughly as Christopher stood on the side.
