Lena spent a long time in the shower. She just let the warm water spray over her body as she just stared emotionless into s.p.a.ce. She then started was.h.i.+ng herself, making sure to scrub her body a few more time than normal.
She felt refreshed and smelled nice when she got out. She needed to remind herself not to wear too many dresses in the future.
When she got out, she was greeted by a nurse who was delivering food for her.
"These are the food that Young Master Zhao specifically ordered for you."
Lena looked at the food. They were expensive and nutritious food. "Thank you."
The nurse left and Lena ate her food. She savored every taste to compared it to the moment she thought she might have her last meal.
Ming Zhao had been very good to her lately. She will need to find him a thank you gift even though this was a favor. Lena was always very good at gifting Andy, but what would Ming Zhao like? He was nerdier than Andy.
"Aha… I should try asking Gary. Those two are into the same things right?"
She tried calling Gary a few times but there was still no answer. This is the first time that Gary had gone so silent on her. Lena shook her head. He is probably into another gaming spree of his, forgetting about eating and other people.
Instead, she called her mother.
"h.e.l.lo?" Shen Milli answered the phone.
"Mom."
"Lena, are you okay? Did something happen?"
"I am fine."
"Are you lonely? I can come to stay with you for the night."
"No. I don"t need you to babysit me." Lena chuckled.
"You are never too old to not need me to babysit you."
"I am getting discharged tomorrow morning."
"What? You should stay there longer."
"The doctor already cleared me. It was not like I was injured. I need something productive to do."
"Hmm… Alright. I"ll have your father send your new bodyguards to get you."
"How"s dad?"
"Your father is fine. Knowing that you are safe and sound, he is much better. He knows he raised a tough daughter."
"Tell dad I love him. Love you too, Mom."
"Mhm… goodnight."
Lena hung up the call. It is so boring in the hospital room. She was in a VIP room. It was big and luxurious.
Although it was more decorated than normal rooms, the big and empty s.p.a.ce makes her feel so lonely. She missed her tiny apartment. It was small, but she had everything to her liking and always felt safe and comfortable.
Lena wondered if she was really injured and it wasn"t a secret, how many people would come and visit her.
People say only in your miserable times, true friends and family will stay by your side. Lena smiled. All she needed was her parents, to be loved and cherished by them.
She turned on the T.V. more some minor entertainment. The news was mainly about the entertainment industry.
Famous actress Lily will be returning after her break abroad. Likewise, rising star Hazel will be returning after filming in America.
Lena"s eyes glistened and she smiled.
"Ah… She is finally returning after 3 months."
