I woke up with the sound of the beeping of these machines around me. Damn, my whole body feels numb. I tried to remember before the surgery. Reese looks so scared. Not for her life, but for me. None of us wanted to be separated. She was like my lifeline like I am for her. But because of Mom's ambition to build her own empire, the blindness of the power that a money could hold, she did ruthless things. And I will never forgive her because of how she broke my Dad's heart.
I assume the surgery went well and I don't even know how long I slept. I've been in this countless times but the fear of not waking up is still there.
But hey, I'm alive bitches.
I touched my forehead and look around. It's bright outside that it even hurts my eyes. I noticed a man standing on the corner of my eyes and I shoot a glance at him as he stares at me like a retard.
"Kamjagiya!" (An expression of surprise). I exclaimed, jolting on my bed. "What the hell? What you doing here?" I said, suddenly groaning when I felt a sudden pain on my side.
"My apologies, Ms. Manoban. I am just a watcher." The man in his suit and tie answered. "Please, refrain from moving. Your cut is still fresh."
I scoff and pulled myself to sit on my bed. "Well, I wouldn't if I didn't wake up to you staring at me like that." I said with a hinch of sarcasm.
He bowed again. "I'm very sorry." He apologized again and I ignored that because I am too occupied with the pain on my hips and buttocks.
I saw him pushed the button on the wall and moved to say something on the speaker. "Ms. Manoban is already awake." A few moments later, a group of nurses get inside the room and checked on me.
"How's Reese?" I asked the butler.
"She woke up 2 hours earlier." He answered and bowed. "Thanks to your kindness, Ms. Manoban."
"I want to see her." I said and lifted my hand to stop the nurses on inspecting me. I get my feet on the side of the bed but the nurses tried to stop me.
"Ms. Manoban, please. You have to rest more." One nurse advised, holding my arm.
"No, I slept enough. I need to see my sister." I said and get on my feet. Damn, the tile feels so cold. The butler immediately get me a pair of slippers from the corner of the room.
"I'll bring her. A wheelchair will be much appreciated." The butler said to the nurse and she just nodded.
"Thank you." I said softly and the butler just gave me a faint smile.
Once I got the wheelchair, the butler pushed me to go to Reese's room. She is busy eating there and I spotted a Doctor speaking to her.
"Hey." I greeted.
Reese smiled at me brightly. "Lisa!" She called. She sounded more lively than she was when I last saw her. I wonder how long I'm out after the surgery. I guess the surgery did help her a lot. The butler pushed the wheelchair next to her bed.
