hapter 54

When Thea woke up again, the sunlight outside was bright, shining warmly through the cracks onto her body.

It was so beautiful. Thea almost thought she had reached heaven. Then she tried to move but found she had no strength. 'Am I dead she wondered.

For a moment, someone opened the door. A few people in white lab coats came in and checked her condition.

The real sensation of touch told Thea she wasn't dead, nor was this a dream. Everything was real.

Thea spoke, her voice hoarse. "Can you tell me, who saved me?"

No one answered her. The doctors just glanced at her before walking out of the room
