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.

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.
