Bewildered and groggy, Lenora opened her eyes to the sight of a white ceiling.

Memories before she fell unconscious flooded back, as if she was dreaming. She closed her eyes for a moment, slowly raising her hand to touch her cheek, only to feel a patch of gauze. "Nora, you're awake!"

Upon hearing a sound, Zachary hastily walked over and sat by the bed. "How are you feeling?"

A hum buzzed gently in Lenora's ears, her eyes catching sight of the subtle movement of his lips. Unconsciously, she asked, "What did you say?".

As soon as she spoke, her voice was raspy and hoarse. The pain in her throat felt like it was being sliced by a knife.

Immediately, Zachary brought over a glass of water. He gently lifted her head and cautiously helped her take a few sips.

"I'm asking how are you feeling right now? Is there any discomfort anywhere?"

Zachary placed the water cup on the table, leaning in closer, almost resting near Lenora's ear.

Lenora turned her head to look at him, slightly puzzled. "What are you doing so close to me?" she asked, her tone nonchalant.

"The doctor mentioned that you're currently suffering from a perforated eardrum due to an external ear injury, causing a decrease in hearing on both sides. However, your hearing should gradually improve over time." "Oh, my dad's ashes..." Lenora looked at Zachary, her voice hoarse as she spoke.

"Don't worry. I've already arranged for someone to transfer his ashes into a new urn. He's now resting peacefully."

"That's good to hear. Once I get discharged from the hospital, I want to visit my father," Lenora said, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Sure. I'll go with you."

"Do you have a mirror?"

Zachary understood what she meant. Gently, he caressed her cheek, brushing aside the stray hairs by her temple. "The doctor said there won't be any scars left in the future," he reassured her.

"I want to see....

"Is it okay to use a phone since there's no mirror here?"

"All right."

Zachary took out his own phone and held it up in front of Lenora.
