Chapter 638 Awake
Mary dimly observed her surroundings. She felt as though she were floating in midair, her body incredibly light.
She was a bit confused. What was happening to her?
"Mary? Mary?"
A distant voice called out, somewhat familiar, but too far away for her to recognize who it was.
"Mary, wake up!"
The voice came again, getting closer.
The confusion on Mary's face gradually faded. She recognized it—it was Matthew's voice!
"No, don't come near me!"
Mary clutched her head as if doing so could isolate her from the world, preventing him from approaching.
All the memories flooded into her mind, and she cried out in pain.
"Mary!"
Shirley's voice came through, and Mary suddenly opened her eyes, her face covered in sweat and tears, the pain in her body gradually awakening.
"Mary, you finally woke up. You scared me to death!" Shirley cried out as soon as she saw Mary awake.
Mary blinked and turned her neck, realizing she was wearing something around it.
"Don't move. You were in a car accident. You have multiple fractures. Does it hurt a lot?" Shirley quickly said as she saw Mary trying to get up.
Mary stopped moving, opened her mouth, and said with difficulty, "I..."
Shirley said, "It's just fractures, nothing else. It's a miracle. You really scared me."
Mary closed her eyes. Her arms, thighs, ribs—everything hurt.
Those must be the injured areas.
At that moment, the door to the hospital room opened, and a tall man walked in.
"You're awake?"
Mary looked over and saw an unfamiliar face.
The visitor was a young man, handsome and approachable, with eyes that always seemed to carry a faint smile.
"Who are you?" Mary asked, puzzled.
Shirley said, "Mary, he's the one who hit you."
Joey Cooper looked at Mary with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, I hit you. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll fully cooperate."
He paused and took out his business card. "By the way, let me introduce myself. I'm Joey."
He placed the card on the bedside table. "I've hired a caregiver to take care of you, and your friend has been by your side. You'll get better soon."
Mary closed her eyes and asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
Joey said, "Three days."
Three days.
Had it really been that long?
Mary felt a moment of disorientation.
Joey pulled up a chair and sat by the bed, his gaze more inquisitive. "Ms. Smith, how are you feeling now?"
Mary said, "In pain."
Joey's expression froze, and he said again, "I'm sorry."
Shirley said, "Mary, is there anything you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."
Mary was indeed very hungry. "I want some soup."
"Okay, wait for me." Shirley immediately got up and left.
The room fell silent.
Mary blinked and said, "The car accident wasn't entirely your fault."
At that time, she had just found out that she hadn't divorced Matthew, and she was in a state of confusion and breakdown, not paying attention to her surroundings, which led to the accident.
In a way, Joey was dragged into it by her.
Joey was a bit surprised but said, "No, it was my fault for not noticing you. The most important thing is that you're okay."
