Chapter 60: Know The Truth
Glen picked up the bag full of food. "Is that so? But I brought some food. Eat first, and later you'll replace Alexa in bed because you didn't take care of yourself. " He was also hungry, so he ate at the same time.
Meanwhile, while Lexie was going home to cook food that she could take to the hospital, she noticed Alexa's room was glowing based on its slightly open door. Lexie was scared and hesitant to go inside, but Alexa's room was so bright that she thought that maybe a power cable was on fire.
She slowly entered as her hands covered her eyes in the extra light of the surroundings. She noticed that the light was slowly fading, so she removed her hand from her eyes, but to her surprise, the light came from the page of the book, which amazed her. In the book, she shifted her eyes to the other side of Alexa's bed because she heard a crack and quickly looked at a shoe that could be seen at the foot of the bed. In great fear, she took the hanger from the side and slowly went to the other side of the bed, but suddenly someone stood up, whom she almost shouted out loud. Thank goodness she stopped, otherwise, they were so loud, and she thought that they had a problem in their house if their neighbors heard her shouting.
She pointed the hanger she was carrying at the person who suddenly appeared in Alexa's room. "Who are you? How did you get in here inside our house? " She asked boldly, even though the person in front of her was not scared because she might be attacked later.
The strange person looked into her eyes, and she could see her gentle face. Slowly, it raised one hand and pointed to the open book.
Her forehead furrowed. "Are you from the book?" It nodded at her.
"How did the book do that?" Lexie was still confused.
"I also don't know why I'm here. I was sucked in by a portal, and I came out of the book by myself."
She was very surprised at what was happening because now in front of her was a woman in a school uniform. "What is your name?" she asked.
"Daniella."
"Are you sure you're from the book? You didn't come from outside the house and just come in here?"
"It's true that I'm from the book, and I'm not lying to you."
She just held her forehead and tried to think about how it happened, and in her mind, she said, "Ever since I saw the book, I have had a strange feeling that it was not ordinary and this is exactly what happened."
"Are you one with strange powers or a princess?"
"I have no power, and I am not a princess."
"But based on what you're wearing, you went to a school, and I think you're just from here in our world. Do you know the name of your school or where you live? "
Daniella shook her head. "I only know my name, and I no longer know where I live."
"How did that happen?" with so many questions to herself. She smelled something burning, so she hurried out while saying something to Daniella. "You're staying there! I'll just do something! " She finally got out and turned off the lit gas stove, then went back inside the room and saw that it was already sitting on the bed. "I don't know what I'm going to do to you. You can only talk to Alexa about what happened to you; she's still in the hospital. I can't leave you here either, so I'll just take you to the hospital until Alexa wakes up." Daniella just stared at her.
"You stay here again, and I'll only prepare what I can bring." Before she left, she first looked at the book and closed it because she planned to take it to the hospital as well.
Lexie left the house with Daniella and went to the hospital, and when they were there, Lexie saw Jack coming out of the room. They went inside, and it looks like Jack was the only one who went now, because she didn’t see Glen inside.
As they approached Alexa's bed, Daniella just stared at Alexa and asked. "Who is she?"
Lexie looked at Alexa. "My friend."
"What happened to her?"
She sighed. "She had an accident and was hit by a car."
"It's just like she's sleeping, isn't it?"
She smiled slightly at what Daniella said. "I wish she was just sleeping, but she's not. Come sit here first. " She sat with Daniella on the other side of Alexa's bed.
A nurse entered the room. "Excuse me, Ms. The doctor is calling you; he needs to talk to you. "
"All right, thanks." The nurse left, and she turned her gaze back to Daniella. "Don't leave here, Daniella. I just need to go somewhere. Watch her okay first." Daniella nodded in response.
Lexie came out, and Daniella was just looking at Alexa.
Daniella just stared at Alexa for a few minutes and felt like she knew whose body was lying on the bed. "I feel like we both have a connection to each other. I just can't say what it is."
The door opened and Jack entered the room looking at his cellphone, so he hadn't seen Daniella looking at him as soon as the door opened.
Jack put his phone in his pants pocket and raised his head, but it was right where Daniella was looking, and she immediately frowned. "You?" Jack said with a shocked face.
Daniella wondered. "You know me?"
Jack's forehead furrowed even more. "Don't you remember me? I'm mushroom. "
Daniella stared at him. "I'm sorry, but I don't know you."
In Jack's mind, "Impossible, we just met at a mall. How come she doesn't know me anymore? "
Lexie suddenly entered, as if carrying bad news. "Jack, we need to talk outside." She looked at Daniella. "I'll leave you here again first. We'll just be a minute outside. " She smiled a little at Daniella.
The two went out, and Jack first erased from his mind the fact that he and Daniella had met again, and he really wondered why she didn't know him anymore.
They went to a waiting area where not too many people were sitting. They both sat down, and Lexie sighed. "It's only been a few days, and it will be one month, and you also know that the doctor gave a warning if Alexa didn't wake up on the day before or after a month." Jack nodded. "The doctor talked to me again and said that they did not have an update with any improvement in Alexa, even though they did not see any movement in other parts of her body. The doctor predicted that Alexa's recovery would be more difficult after a month, despite the fact that she was allegedly awake. It's only been a month and a few days, Jack. "
"What did you tell the doctor?"
Her tears rolled down her cheeks. "What I'm saying is that even a few more months is okay as long as she lives." Her tears flowed; she had been holding back.
Jack just let her cry because he couldn't answer what she said.
Meanwhile, Daniella got up from her seat and walked around Alexa's room, but was stopped by someone who spoke softly.
"Le-xie."
She walked around the room, but she didn't see anyone. She looked at Alexa, but she still closed her eyes. "Is there a ghost here?" Her eyes were already looking around because of the weak voice.
A few moments later, someone spoke again. "Le-xie." Daniella hugged herself and looked at Alexa again and stared at her because Alexa's lid was moving, so she immediately approached her. "Did you speak?" she asked.
"Le-xie," Alexa said, and Daniella panicked.
Alexa slowly opened her eyes and closed them again because of the light in the room, but after her vision became completely clear, she clearly saw Daniella. "Who are you?" Alexa asked with a voice that had just woken up.
Daniella couldn't speak yet because the nurse had just come in, and when the nurse saw Alexa awake, she called with the emergency call next to Alexa's bed.
While Lexie and Jack were still in the waiting area, they heard paging from the speaker on the ceiling of the hospital. "Calling Doctor Martinez, you need to go here in room 41." And once more, the nurse repeated what she was saying.
The two got up immediately and went to Daniella's room before they entered. Alexa's doctor came in first, and when Lexie saw Alexa with her eyes open, her tears flowed while she was on one side of the room waiting for the doctor to finish checking on Alexa.
"Her body is stable now, but we will check on her for a few days to make sure that all is well and she is not having any complications before she goes home." He wrote something in the patient file before approaching Lexie. "It’s a miracle, I guess," said Lexie. "I'll go ahead; the nurse will go here again to check the patient. " Lexie smiled at the doctor before leaving the room with the nurse.
Lexie quickly approached Alexa and held her hand; she could still see the trace of a tear on her cheek. "You're really awake!"
Alexa smiled a little, but she looked at two people she didn't know. "Who are they?"
Lexie looked at Jack and Daniella. "I'll tell you later when your body is okay. Right now, you need to strengthen your body so we can go home right away. "
Alexa looked again at the two who were just staring at her, but she stopped looking into the man's eyes for a long time, and she also averted her gaze again.
Daniella was surprised by what Alexa did, so she looked at Jack and asked softly. "She doesn't know you either?"
Jack smiled a little. "Maybe, but maybe not really."
"Why? Did she know you before? "
"Yeah, we used to be classmates when we were in high school."
"But why doesn't she remember you?"
Jack sighed. "Because after a few years, she forgot about me when we graduated from high school."
"Are you her friend?"
"No."
Daniella frowned. "Then what was she doing in your life then?"
Jack turned to her. "It's like you're crushing on someone, but we're just a little different. You can say how you feel, but I'm used to joking around and paying attention to everything, but it just seems to have resulted in her not paying attention to me. "
"How did you know I have a crush?"
Jack frowned, and he was really wondering what Daniella was doing right now. "I just have a guess. I'm right, aren't I? " Surprised, Daniella just nodded and looked at Alexa, who rested again.
Two days passed, and Alexa was okay and her strength was returning, so she had time to get to know who the two people she saw were that she didn’t know.
Meanwhile, the God of Destiny appeared again at Victor's house. "It's time for us to go back to where Alexa is." Victor just nodded in response.
