Chapter 33: Living Chapter 33: Living Nnenna’s mind was clouded, her thoughts barely coherent as the weight of her failing body threatened to pull her into darkness.

Still, she fought with everything she had left.

Her lips trembled, her throat burned, but she forced out a single, faint whisper.

“Yes…” The word was fragile, barely audible, but it was enough.

The attending doctor, Dr.

Chidi, was the first to move.

A sharp intake of breath escaped him as he placed a stethoscope to her chest.

“Her heartbeat’s stable,” he muttered in disbelief, looking up at Director Ikenna, who had been silently observing, brow furrowed.

Four watched, his mind racing.

He knew Nnenna had somehow defied the odds, but how?

He hadn’t seen such a quick recovery from a seizure before, especially after someone had been as close to death as Nnenna was moments ago.

Dr.

Chidi quickly moved to check her airway, ensuring it was clear and unobstructed.

He performed a visual check, verifying her pupils were responsive to light.
