"Ma''am?"


    Quinn struggled to open her eyes, using all her strength, but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead, her consciousness being pulled back and forth between dream and reality.


    In a blur, Quinn saw someone move the woman off her, and the light from outside suddenly flooded in.


    She had no choice but to close her eyes to avoid the blinding light.


    But when Quinn opened her eyes again, she saw Olivia''s face.


    Overjoyed, Olivia cried out, "You''re awake! I''ll go get the doctor!"


    As Olivia ran out in her joy, Quinn stared at the unfamiliar surroundings, her eyes momentarily dazed.


    Suddenly, another figure appeared in her sight.


    Quinn''s gaze slowly moved upward, trying to see the person in front of her clearly, but her vision was blurry, and the face was doubled.


    Staring at the face, her gaze became more vacant.


    "What happened? Did you go silly?"


    Quinn''s eyshes fluttered, finally matching the face and voice in front of her.


    Seeing that she had regained focus, Walter sat down beside her.


    "Do you know who I am?" Walter asked.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Quinn blinked and made no move. She felt her breathing was somewhat obstructed and slowly raised her hand to remove the oxygen mask from her face.


    Before she could react, a group of medical staff rushed in.


    Quinn''s face was pulled and prodded into various shapes, feeling the doctors'' rough handling.


    A few minutester. "She''s awake, and she''ll be fine. She needs rest. The rest are superficial injuries, nothing serious."


    The doctor''s words buzzed in Quinn''s ears, and she couldn''t clearly hear what they were saying.


    Her mind was filled with the fire, a huge fire.


    She couldn''t tell if it was the fire from her dreams or reality, but it all felt incredibly real.


    Soon, after the doctor removed the oxygen mask and other equipment, Quinn felt much lighter.


    Walter frowned, grabbing the doctor and asking, "What''s her condition? She seems like an idiot."


    The doctor nced back at Quinn and exined, "She''s been unconscious for several days. It''s normal to feel disoriented when waking up. She''ll be fine after some rest. Talk to her more. She might still be in shock from the previous danger."

    Walter was somewhat skeptical and suspected that Quinn might really be mentally impaired.


    Hadn''t the doctor said before? Her condition could eventually lead to mental impairment or a vegetative state.


    Now Quinn was showing signs of being in a vegetative state.


    Walter reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Can you see this?"


    Quinn blinked.


    "It seems her eyes are fine."


    "Who are you?"


    "I am..." Walter hesitated, his hand frozen in mid-air, staring at Quinn in shock, "Did you just speak?"


    Quinn stared straight at him and then weakly responded.


    Walter slowly stood up from the chair and nced back at Olivia.


    Olivia was also stunned, her face a mix of confusion and shock.


    "Why are you standing there? Go get the doctor!"


    Olivia had just run back, only to get scared and scramble to find the doctor. Before long, the doctor returned.


    He started examining Quinn again, and Quinn frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Why did they examine her again?


    After a while, the doctor finished the examination and said to Walter, "There''s nothing wrong."


    Walter said, "She just spoke."


    The doctor replied, "Is that a problem?"


    "She..." Walter found it increasingly strange. If Quinn had regained her memories, why didn''t she recognize him?


    If she hadn''t regained her memories, why did she suddenly speak?


    For years, Quinn would always use signnguage when she woke up.


    Walter frowned deeply and waved his hand. "Alright, that''s fine."


    The doctor didn''t dare say anything more and quickly left the ward with his team.


    Inside, Walter and Quinn stared at each other.
