"It's alright. It's not too late, we still have time…" While he gently stroked her hair, he uttered softly next to her ear, "When you are feeling better, we will go home and have a grand
wedding. The children will definitely be thrilled about it and Grandpa will be very happy too."
"Wedding…" Upon hearing Zayn's words, Carla indulged in her imagination and
pictured the children's bright smiles and Jombo's kind and loving face.
At the thought of that, Carla's lips curled into a wide smile as she hugged Zayn
tightly. She was eager for that happy day to arrive.
In a split second, she felt a sudden sharp pain coming from her arm. Her body froze
instantly as she bit her lower lip forcefully to endure the immense pain.
Carla was brought back to the moment where several black figures held her down and
injected her with an unknown drug.
However, that drug was like a ticking time bomb as it caused her to lose control of her
emotions for a period of time, and at other times she felt as if a knife was slicing through
her and the pain was excruciating.
She was very scared and afraid that the drug would destroy her. She was even more terrified
of what horrifying things the drug would make her do and possibly hurt the people she
loved.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zayn felt Carla's body tremble and he asked
hurriedly.
Carla tried her best to endure the immense pain while uttering in a trembling voice, "My
wound hurts… Where is Naya?"
"I'll ask her to come over right away." With that being said, Zayn rushed out to look for
her.
Right after, Naya entered the room and attended to Carla's wound immediately.
However, she did not proceed with any other treatments.
While holding back her doubts, Carla tried to ask calmly, "Dr. Goman, have you
checked? Are there any other problems with me?"
"Apart from the trauma on your back and limbs, I haven't found any other problems for now."
Then Naya continued to ask, "Miss Wigston, are you feeling discomfort anywhere else? You
need to tell me so I can treat you accordingly."
"This arm hurts…" Carla lifted her right hand strenuously. "The pain was around the wrist
previously, but now it has not only spread to the elbow, it is also slowly traveling upwards all
the way to the brain…"
"I'll arrange for you to be examined right away." Naya immediately ordered, "Take an x-ray to
see if her bone is fractured."
"Don't worry. Naya is an excellent doctor, she will definitely be able to cure you, " Zayn
uttered reassuringly.
"Yes." Carla nodded her head.
Right after, Benard, who was standing outside of the ward, said that he had something
important to report to Zayn.
"I'll go out for a while and accompany you later."
Zayn kissed Carla on the forehead and left in a hurry.
After the door was closed, Carla asked Naya in a low voice, "Dr. Goman, is there really
nothing else wrong with me?"
"Hm?" Naya was taken aback for a moment, then she asked worriedly, "Miss Wigston, so far I
have performed a variety of tests on you and I have yet to find any problems. Are you… Are
you suffering from any other injuries? You have to tell me."
"No, but my arm hurts."
Carla began to wonder if she was being paranoid since Naya didn't find anything else
that was wrong with her tests either. Perhaps, that injection was only to put her asleep and it
wasn't anything serious.
The pain in her arm could also possibly be the aftermath of getting hit, and it would get
better after some time.
As for the moments when she lost control of her emotions due to the pain, that might be
due to shock.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to be examined right away. It'll be fine." Naya uttered
reassuringly.
"Alright, thank you."
Feeling drained, Carla leaned back on the bed while noticing the pain in her arm slowly
fading away.
The attack I had yesterday seemed to have lasted for a very long time, whereas it was only a
minute or two today.
It certainly looks like I might have been overthinking. Maybe there really isn't any other
problem and I'll be fully recovered in a few days.
While being in her thoughts, Carla slowly drifted off to sleep.
Then Naya tucked her in and pushed her for her arm x-ray.
Soon, the results came back. Carla's right arm bones were fine, however, there was
some damage to her muscles. That might be the cause of her pain, but mainly it was from
the excessive shock she had experienced.
After her analysis, Naya wrote them down on the examination report.
