Opening her eyes, Vanessa looked around and, as she had expected, she was at the hospital, the lights were slightly din so she couldn't see very well.
She tried to move but was immediately hit by a sharp pain in her shoulder.
Hissing out loud, Rowen, who had been sleeping beside the chair next to her bed, immediately woke up and ran toward her.
"Are you alright? Do you need any help?" Rowen asked, panic filling his eyes.
"Not really, it just hurts!" she stated, her eyes becoming teary. Seeing this, Rowen pulled her close for a hug.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I couldn't protect you," Rowen blamed himself, but Vanessa shook her head.
"It's not your fault. I was the one who went to meet you, even though you told me to stay at the hotel... I'm sorry," Vanessa apologized as Rowen sighed.
"How long have I been asleep?" Vanessa asked.
"Well, for three days now. The doctor said you're free to go home, but your wounds aren't completely healed yet."
