"Seems like it's Miss Daniela. Probably flirting with President Dixon and lost track of time," the nurse said as she put away the used IV bag, giving Hannah a smile. "Don't worry too much, Miss Hannah. President Dixon will come to keep you company once he's done with Miss Daniela. It's been like this every day for the past month."
"Okay," Hannah replied indifferently. "You can go now."
"Alright."
After the nurse left, Hannah pulled out the needle from her arm.
Something was definitely off about that nurse. Since Hannah woke up, she'd had two checks and two medication changes, all done by two medical staff who barely spoke during the process.
When Hannah asked questions, the staff only gave brief answers. But this nurse sure did talk a lot. She seemed more like someone Daniela set up.
Hannah wanted to escape, but she couldn't. Her legs were still in casts. She couldn't even get out of bed.
She looked for her phone and found a similar model on the bedside table. Only it looked much newer. She wasn't sure if it was meant for her. She tried her usual unlock code, and it worked.
Not only did the phone unlock, but it also had all her apps, photos, and everything else from her original phone. It seemed like her old phone got damaged in the accident, and whoever prepared this new one had transferred all her data into it.
Hannah didn't trust Steven. She didn't even have basic mobility. The only person she trusted was Cornelia. "Nelly, I think I'm in danger. Come save me..."
Cornelia, "Hannah, don't be scared. I'm coming to save you."
Hannah, "Nelly, hurry up. If you're late, I might not make it."
Cornelia, "Okay. I live nearby, I'll be there soon."
Hearing that Cornelia was just around the corner put Hannah at ease. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
