Heller’s POV:
So dark...
When I opened his eyes, there was a misty darkness in front of me. My dry eyes moved with difficulty, but all I could see was a gray shadow.
I tried to move but felt a sense of restraint around me. After a few seconds, I realized that they were bandages.
I recalled that I was on my way to the airport with Yarin and Grandma Kara. What happened?
Someone opened the door, and I subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a ball of ‘something’ emitting a blue light walking toward me.
“Huh!”
What kind of monster was this?
i was so scared that I immediately wanted to get away from it, but the violent struggle brought me heart-wrenching pain. It was as if someone was using a hammer to smash my chest bit by bit, and the long torture made me wail.
“Heller, don’t move! Don’t move!”
The faint blue light rushed toward me. I was scared to death, but there was no way to escape.
However, he didn’t seem to be here to hurt me. He held my hands tightly so that I couldn’t move. Then he shouted outside, “Doctor! Doctor! He’s awake!”
A few seconds later, a large group of lights rushed in, which terrified me. Moon Goddess, what the hell was this place? Was I dead? Was this hell? Why weren’t you willing to take me to your courtyard?
A few balls of light took over from the first one to hold me down. Their techniques were much gentler, but they made me unable to move. Then, 1 felt someone touching my body. Him – or her? i didn’t understand.
They lifted my eyelids, pinched my limbs, and gently pressed on my chest, which was in so much pain.
“How is he?” I heard someone ask.
They didn’t say anything to me, and the group of people left, leaving only two light orbs behind.
“Sorry, Heller, I scared you.” Before leaving, the first light ball said, “I promise i will knock on the door next time, okay? Just lie down for a while. I’ll be back in a while.”
After calming down, I felt that his voice was a little familiar. 1 asked tentatively, “Yes... Yarin?”
The ball of light was obviously stunned.
“It’s me. Of course, it’s me. So, you struggled so intensely initially because you didn’t recognize me?”
Although I couldn’t see his expression, I was sure Yarin’s eyes were round as grapes. n0Velusb.c0m
I finally realized the situation. There was no doubt that I was blind. I didn’t know if it was temporary or permanent. And 1 remembered what had happened before. A car accident changed everything.
1 didn’t really feel anything about my blindness, but I thought Yarin probably couldn’t accept this fact, so I tried to tell him about my current situation in some soothing words.
However, before I could do anything, Yarin had already guessed the current situation.
“Your eyes, Moon Goddess, no...” He shook his hand in front of my eyes in disbelief. All I could see was a blurry light.
“You’re blue. At least it looks good, doesn’t it?” I tried to speak relaxed, but it was an inappropriate joke.
Yarin ran away like a gust of wind, shouting, “I’m going to find a doctor.” I couldn’t stop him. I could only watch the light disappear.
Someone held my hand. Probably a nurse.
“I have to check if the needle buried in the back of your hand is crooked.” She gently pressed the back of my hand, and 1 felt a sharp pain. “I have to readjust it for you. It will hurt a little. Please bear with it.”
Because of my struggle, my right hand became sore. The needle couldn’t be poked in for the time being, so my left hand had to suffer again.
“What happened to me?” i asked.
“You’ve been in a car accident with a broken rib and a concussion. The doctor will tell you the details soon.”
The nurse didn’t leave after changing the needles. Instead, she was arranging the cart. 1 asked again, “How is Yarin? And Kara, the Queen’s butler. How is she? Is the driver all right?”
i thought my injury was the most serious, but I didn’t expect the nurse to hesitate to answer my question. This made my bad feeling even worse.
“What happened? Please tell me, I beg you.”
Before the nurse could say anything, some more people entered the ward.
Yarin walked to my side and gently tidied my messy hair. He said, “The doctor said you must go for a check-up. Don’t be afraid, I’ll accompany you.
“Dad will be here soon. You’ll see him in a while... He’ll come and accompany you in a while. Mom is also very worried about you, but you know she can’t leave for now. When Dad comes, you can meet via video call.”
i grabbed his hand and asked shakily, “Where’s Kara? Why isn’t Kara her? Is she injured too? Where is she?”
I desperately wanted an answer, but Yarin only gave me silence.
“Tell me! Where’s Kara? Where is she?”
In the suffocating silence, I felt a few drops of warm liquid drip onto the back of my hand.
“Kara is... She’s gone,” Yarin’s voice was as hoarse as a mouthful of sulfuric acid. “She can’t come anymore, Heller. She’s gone..”
