I desperately tried to sit up then, panic shooting through me.

Who the hell cares about him?

Who exactly is supposed to care about this ungrateful little brat?

I’d rather spend my energy deciding what to have for lunch tomorrow.

But my body felt like I was trapped in a nightmare then.

I could hear everything clearly, but I couldn’t move a muscle.

I don’t know how much time passed after that.

Then I heard the doctor let out a defeated sigh next to me.

Right after that, I felt the cold needle pierce my vein again.
