“How can you be so imprudent at your age?”
He looked at her angrily.
But Queeny didn't even notice!
The doctors had said there would be a 48-hour critical period, and only after that would he truly wake up.
So, Queeny has been standing by his bed for two days.
Now that he was awake at last, how could she not be happy?
Queeny’s excitement was unabashed and Felix watched it with mixed feelings.
It would be false to say he was not moved.
But it was this surge of emotion that suddenly complicated his feelings.
Queeny didn’t notice the change in his mood. “How are you? Is everything okay? Does it still hurt?”
Felix took her distraught hand. “I’m all right,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt.”
After a pause, he asked, “How long have I been unconscious?”
Queeny pursed her lips and replied, “Two days and two nights.”
“You’ve been here all this time?”
He stared straight at her. Queeny froze, her heart beating slower for no reason.
She pulled her hand away and looked away uncomfortably. “Don’t get your head around it. I’m just afraid someone’s going to stab you again when you’re hurt. In that case, who’s gonna help me find leads?”
Her words did not change Felix’s mind.
For no matter what she said, he had seen it for real, and her cares and fears were not feigned.
He chuckled. “Is that really all?”
Queeny, more uncomfortable, muttered: “What else could it be?"
“Now, lie down while I call the doctor.”
Then she turned and walked out.
However, as soon as she reached the door, she saw Donald leading the doctor in.
It turned out that Donald had just left Queeny and Felix alone.
Felix had only just regained consciousness and, naturally, had to be examined by the doctor, so he went to inform him.
He had just brought the doctor in, and the conversation was over.
Seeing Queeny at the door, Donald smiled and said, “Miss Horton, you’re awake. Where are you going?”
Queeny paused and realized that she had just fallen asleep. Donald must have seen it. She felt a little embarrassed.
She forced a smile. “I'm going to the doctor.”
Her eyes fell more sheepishly on the doctor following him.
“Now that the doctor is here, you can go in while I go.”
With that, she hurried away.
Confused, Donald asked, “Don't you want to hear the doctor’s results?”
Queeny replied, “No.”
She knew that Felix would find the best doctor.
Since the doctor said that if he could get through the crucial 48 hours and wake up, he'd be fine.
So now that Felix had survived and woken up, he must be safe.
