"Lennox!"
"Hm,"
"Lennox wake up." She groaned as her father shook her awake.
"What?"
"Lennox are you alright?"
"Dad I'm trying to sleep."
"Wake up sweetie, come on."
She did wake up, but only after she felt the cold metal plate of her father's stethoscope press against her chest.
"What the-" She waved her hand. "Dad what the hell are you doing?"
She sat up in bed, her eyes adjusting to the sudden brightness as Dr Rosewood continued checking her over.
"How did this happen?"
"How did what happen?"
"Lennox would you please focus?"
"I'm trying! What are you talking about?"
"Your cast, where are your cast?"
"My what? Are you blind? It's right the-" She gestured to her leg, staring at it in shock when she saw no cast on her left leg. "Woah."
"Yeah, woah, now you want to tell me how this happened?"
"I- I don't know, I didn't even realise,"
"And your sling is gone too." He nodded to her arm, which she looked at in surprise after not realising she'd used both hands to push herself up. "Honey what is happening right now?"
"Dad I don't know! I don't know, I didn't...I went to sleep with them both, I don't understand," She trailed off, shaking her head as Dr Rosewood watched her.
"Are you in pain?"
"No."
"No pain?"
"No, nothing."
"We need to take you to the hospital, okay? Now."
