In the ward.
The medical equipment sounded regularly from time to time.
It was at this moment that Summer woke up on the bed.
She opened her eyes slightly, and the sound of people coming and going in the corridor outside the ward was the first to reach her ears, and then the sound of the medical equipment nearby.
She moved her fingers and found her finger was clamped by something.
She tilted her head and saw that it was a finger clip connected to the monitor.
Summer took off the finger clip and sat up with difficulty.
She first looked around the ward, which was very spacious and bright.
It should be a VIP ward in a private hospital. The equipment looked pretty new. In the ward, besides her bed, there were also a set of sofa and a table, as well as another bed for visitors.
She felt a little confused.
The fire, Rosie, and Leonardo.
As her memories gradually returned to her, Summer's sickly pale face instantly turned even paler.
At this moment, a nurse opened the door and walked in.
When the nurse saw that Summer was awake, she was surprised and said, "You're awake."
The nurse was speaking English.
Summer looked at the nurse and didn't say anything.
The nurse hurriedly put down the things in her hand, "I'll go call your friend over now. Wait a moment..."
Seeing that Summer didn't respond to her, the nurse thought that she didn't understand English. So the nurse made a gesture and tried very hard to put it into Chinese, "Wait... for... me."
She said with great difficulty and her accent was a little heavy.
Summer nodded.
The nurse smiled and left.
When the nurse went out, she left the door somewhat ajar. Before long, Summer heard a cluster of footsteps coming from afar.
With a squeak, the door was pushed open.
When she saw the person clearly, the hope in Summer's eyes disappeared.
"You're awake?" Jenny walked up to her and looked down at her, "How do you feel?"
Summer remained silent.
Jenny frowned slightly and turned to the nurse, "Check her brain and see if it's damaged by the smoke."
The nurse didn't say anything when she saw Jenny looked unkind. She just went out and called for a doctor.
Throughout the checking, Summer still remained silent.
It was just a routine examination, and the results were out very soon.
"Ms. Jenny, Ms. Summer is perfectly fine. She's just weak."
After receiving the doctor's reply, Jenny raised her hand to signal that they could leave.
The doctor, the nurse, and Jenny's men left the ward.
"Summer, I know what you're feeling right now, but we can't bring the dead back to life. My condolences." Jenny's tone was extremely cold.
Summer, who had been expressionless all this time, finally changed her expression. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Who's dead?"
