Chapter 432
You Hit My Heart
St. Maria Hospital.
Luther seemed to have had a really long dream in which many things
happened, entangled and complicated, but really when he woke up, his
mind was blank, completely unable to remember the contents of the
dream.
The dazzling golden sunlight shone in through the slits in the snow-
white blinds.
The light was so bright that it was hard to open his eyes. It took him a
long time to get used to it before he finally reluctantly opened his dark
eyes and looked around.
The unfamiliar environment, the pure white hue, the simple
Scandinavian decor, the bedside infusion apparatus with the bottle
being attached to his arm, feeding an IV into his body. A few thin metal
wires were attached to his chest, connected to a heart rate monitor on
the side.
Luther sat up and unplugged the cable from his chest, and at once, the
monitor on the side emitted a "drip" alarm.
What's going on, why was he in the hospital?
Moreover, it was as if his brain had been emptied, and there was a
hollow feeling in his body and mind, as if something important had been
taken away from him and he didn't know it.
The alarm was connected to the nurse's desk. Soon, doctors and
nurses arrived in an emergency.
They pushed through the door, followed by an anxious-looking
Jacqueline.
When Jacqueline entered the VIP room and saw Luther waking up, she
rushed forward excitedly and held Luther's hand, âLuther, you're finally
awake. I just went to the doctor's office to sit for a while, and I didn't
expect you to wake up. That's wonderful, thank God!"
"I slept for a long time?" When Luther opened his mouth to speak, felt
his throat dry up and his voice hoarse.
Jacqueline hurriedly poured him a glass of water to moisten his throat.
âYou've been in a coma for a week, and thank God you're finally awake.
I was going crazy with anxiety! It scared the hell out of me!" Jacqueline
exuded genuine concern; after all, she only had one son.
"A week in a coma?" Luther frowned in confusion, what was going on?
He couldn't remember at all why he was in a coma or why he was in
the hospital, and what the hell was he doing before he passed out? No
memory at all!
"What's going on? Why am I in a coma? Why can't I remember
anything!" He struggled to recall.
Suddenly, a throbbing pain in his head made him cover his forehead
unbearably. Damn it, his head hurt. What happened? His head felt like
it was about to explode, but he just couldn't remember a thing.
Jacqueline was so confused and anxious that she asked the doctor
beside her, "Doctor, what's going on? He looks like he's in pain?"
The doctor gave Luther a brief examination and said, "Madam, don't
worry, Mr. Warner's body has fully recovered and his heart and lung
functions are normal.â
"But he said he couldn't remember why he was in a coma?" Jacqueline
said sharply.
"Madam, I mentioned to you before that there would be such a
possibility. Mr. Warner received a serious punch to the brain and an
injury to the frontal lobe, so it is entirely possible if there is a transient
memory loss. It's just that the human brain circuitry is the most
complex, and no one can predict how much of his memory he would
lose and when he would get it back.â The doctor patiently explained.
"Mr. Warner, if you have a bad headache, you don't have to force
yourself to think. Get well first and let nature take its course. Maybe one
day your memory will suddenly return. You can't rush it." The doctor
advised.
As the pain in Luther's head eased a little, he looked up and asked
Jacqueline, "What the hell is going on? Why am I here?"
