The Woman From Hell

There was a faint smell of disinfectant at the tip of my nose. I opened my eyes abruptly only to see a snow-white ceiling in front of me.

I propped myself up on the bed, and a warm voice registered itself in my ears. "Are you awake?"

I looked up, feeling a little surprised, but it did not show on my face.

The man in front of me was actually the one who crashed into my car before I fainted!

A quick glance at my surrounding told me this was a clinic, and I was at ease.

I looked up at my left hand which had a water drip on it. "What's wrong with me? Why are you here?"

Even I was surprised by my own voice when I heard it. My clear voice had become so hoarse.

The man grabbed a disposable cup and filled it with water slowly. The action was pleasing to the eye, and I could not help myself from getting a second glance.

He handed me the cup of water. "It's warm water. You should soothe your throat first."
