Larissa walked with her back facing the car. So, by the time she heard the sound of the engine and turned to look, it was already too late.
A sharp pain struck her lower back, and both her feet left the ground. After a brief half-minute, she fell to the ground in a prone position. The pain was so intense that her limbs became numb, and it felt as if her internal organs had shifted.
Screams echoed in her eyes, and she could feel a warm liquid sliding down her cheek. Her vision darkened, and she lost consciousness completely.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but when she woke up, everything around her was pitch black without a trace of light. For a moment, she thought she lost her sight.
Luckily, her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and she could vaguely make out the outline of the ceiling above her.
The strong scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils, reminding her that she was still in the hospital.
She tried to move her neck to look at her surroundings, but a sharp pain immediately shot through her body.
"Ouch!" she gasped in pain.
"Lari, are you awake?" A voice filled with surprise and concern came from beside her.
Though she couldn't see the person clearly, she quickly recognized the voice, "Mr. Logan?" Her throat was as dry as a desert.
