Anna was wiping her tears beside the ward bed and looking at Jean, who said nothing. She thought Jean was in pain, so she asked in a worried tone, “Are you in pain? Let me ask the doctor to come over and give you an injection for the pain.

After that, Anna pressed the patient call bell beside the bed.

Jean did not stop her. He closed his eyes and recalled what had happened yesterday.

Jean was beaten up by Cobra. His body felt weak, and he could not find where his phone was. There was no way he could ask for help. He ended up sleeping beside a pile of trash.

He was in pain and freezing at that time. Slowly, he began to feel drowsy and fell asleep. He forgot what happened next.

Anna's face came into sight when he opened his eyes.

There was no memory of what had happened to him in between...

The nurse walked into Jean's ward when she heard the patient call bell. She asked, "What's wrong with Patient No. 1?"

"He's awake," answered the caretaker.

"Okay. Let me call the doctor," replied the nurse. She went out and called Jean's attending physician to come over.

The doctor gave Jean a preliminary examination and found out that Jean was fine. Then, he asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It hurts. I'm feeling a little dizzy," Jean replied weakly.

The doctor picked up Jean's medical report, glanced at it to confirm, and said, "You have minor bone fractures all over your body. They were caused by getting beaten up. It'll definitely hurt. Did those people hit your head when they were beating you up?"

"I forgot." Jean felt embarrassed for being asked such a question in front of so many people.

"According to the test results, there's no sign of bleeding in your brain, so I assume that it's just a concussion. It's normal to feel dizzy. Do press the bell and call the nurse if you feel very dizzy," said the doctor as he placed the report back to where it was.

at the doctor in surprise and asked, "Is that all? Aren't you giving him any medications or injections?" "It's stated in the records that he was already given some IV fluids when he was in the emergency room. If he can't stand the pain, I can give him some painkillers," replied
