Chapter 33~ Who are you?

"She's alive." The nurse responds and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Can I see her?" I ask immediately, not wanting to waste another second. A part of me feels like I'm being pranked and can't really be relieved unless I see and touch her.

"Where is the doctor?" My voice is barely steady, impatient. I don't have time for formalities.

When I reach it, the door is slightly ajar, so I don't bother knocking. I push it open, stepping inside. The doctor looks up from a file, his eyes widening behind his glasses.
"Mr. King, why are you here personally? Did something happen?" He stands from his seat.

His eyes widen,
"She was brought in some hours ago. Is she someone you know?"
