The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

The acrid stench of blood mixed with the earthy, gunpowder–laden air surged into Hailey’s nostrils, searing her lungs with every breath.

She could hardly breathe, feeling like the world was spinning uncontrollably.

Her ears rang with a deafening silence; she couldn’t hear anything, couldn’t see anything, Desperately, she tried to shout Owen’s name, but no sound left her lips.

It was a scream of terror without a voice.

The door opened, and Raphael stepped into the room. As soon as he saw her eyes flicker open, he immediately pressed the emergency button by her bed.

“Hailey, how do you feel? I’ve called for the doctor, they’ll be here soon. Don’t worry,” Raphael said with a sense of urgency.

Hailey blinked slowly, her eyes drifting toward him. A flash of confusion crossed her face. “What are you sa

Raphael’s heart sank at her blank expression. “Hailey, can you hear me?” he asked softly.

Hailey just looked at him, still bewildered.
