The night was so gorgeous as if it was covered with a layer of golden powder. The bright moonlight pulled out a large area of glow from the sky and spread to the sky. The stars dotted like the sparkling water, quiet and silent.
When Michelle woke up again, she found that she was no longer in the hospital. She looked at the ceiling and listened to the birds outside the window. Everything seemed to go back to the past.
This was her room, but she remembered clearly that her mother had left her and the community had been demolished.
Vaguely, she heard the sound from outside. When she listened carefully, she was surprised to find that someone was cooking in the kitchen. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the door in disbelief.
However, the door was pushed open at this time. Michelle suddenly found that Olivia was standing outside the door.
"Michelle, it's time to get up and have breakfast" Olivia was still wearing an apron with a spatula in her hand.
Michelle looked at her in a daze and couldn't help shouting, "Mom."
"The sun is almost reaching your buttocks. Get up quickly. You have class in the afternoon."
Class?
At first glance, the calendar reminded her of the days when she was still in high school.
"Mom..." Suddenly, Michelle realized something and shouted at the back of Olivia who was about to leave. Olivia also stopped at the same time. Instead of turning around, she stood there quietly.
"Mom, mom!" Michelle screamed and woke up from her dream.
The bean sized cold sweat rolled down from her forehead, and her face was pale without a trace of blood. Her lips trembled because of fear, and the whole room was as quiet as a ghost. Only her rapid breath echoed.
Outside the window, the wind blew in through the curtain, with a little cold.
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Emily walked in with the things she had bought.
"Michelle, how are you feeling?"
It was the first time that she had seen Michelle so calm.
"Emily, why am I here? Wait, shouldn't I be at home? I was at home just now, but why was I in the hospital? Emily, tell me what happened. "
Michelle grabbed Emily's shoulder and asked her in pain.
Emily knew that she was dreaming again, and it was a dream related to Olivia. At that moment, Emily really wanted to protect her.
"Michelle, don't worry. It's just a dream." Emily wanted to lie, but she knew that Michelle hadn't lost her memory. She just had a nightmare. When she woke up, everything would come back to reality.
"I bought your favorite porridge with minced pork and preserved egg. Have some." Taking the opportunity, Emily changed the topic. She bought Michelle's favorite food, hoping to distract her attention.
Looking at the bowl of porridge, Michelle took it over with her hand. But when she was about to drink it, her brain suddenly buzzed. Some broken scenes appeared one by one, making her head ache.
Suddenly, Michelle ran out and took the fruit knife on the bedside table when Emily was not noticing.
"Michelle!"
Realizing that the situation was not good, Emily hurried to chase after her.
In the corridor of the hospital, Michelle was looking for a ward angrily. After what happened last time, Walter had transferred the ward to another place.
He didn't tell Jared about it. At least, no one wanted to see others get hurt again.
"Where are you, Scott? Get out!"
She shouted at every ward, completely ignoring where she was. The doctor found her condition and rushed over with nurses.
Michelle was sent back to the ward. The doctor gave her a tranquilizer before she calmed down.
"Didn't I ask you to take her home? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid we'll send her to a psychiatric hospital."
Before the doctor left, he specially asked Emily to take her home. After all, Michelle made a fuss every day. Others thought there was a psychiatric patient in the hospital. Who would dare to come here again?
"I see. Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, Emily returned to the ward. She looked at the pale woman and felt bad. How long would such a life last?
Walter also arranged the funeral for Olivia. Michelle was unconscious, so Walter didn't let her go. He was worried that she would be stimulated again.
On that day, Walter went through the discharge formalities and hired a private doctor to take care of Michelle.
"Emily, thank you for your hard work these days."
Before leaving, Walter realized how reluctant he was. He felt that he really liked the woman before him. He liked her toughness and courage, her generosity and kindness.
"I'm fine."
