Chapter 2 - A Life Worse Than Death

After some time, Sarah woke up. A nurse came to her with food. The nurse was quite talkative, so she started talking to Sarah. She asked her to tell something about herself.

But Sarah did not remember anything about her past life. She had forgotten everything. So she told the nurse that she could not remember anything and asked if she could tell her what had happened to her and how she reached this condition.

The nurse told Sarah that her car had met with a very bad accident, and three to four people had brought her to the hospital. She further said that Sarah did not regain consciousness for four days, which means she was unconscious for four days. She added that her chances of survival were very low, but thanks to Dr. Kevin, who, with his smart techniques and knowledge, saved her life, and that is why she was alive today.

After hearing all this, a deep sense of respect was created in Sarah's eyes for Dr. Kevin.

After some time, Dr. Kevin came into Sarah's room and asked, "Hi, beautiful, how are you feeling now? I hope you are feeling better."

Sarah was looking at Dr. Kevin very respectfully. Dr. Kevin noticed this and asked, "What happened? Do I look that scary that you are looking at me like this?"

Sarah joined her hands in front of him, just like someone folds hands in front of God. She said, "Dr. Kevin, I do not understand how to thank you. The way you saved my life, without even knowing me, you brought me back from the mouth of death. Thank you so much. This is not something a normal person can do. Only God can do something like this."

Dr. Kevin smiled and laughed a little. He said, "Oh madam, there is no need to do all this. I am not God, I am just a normal person. Saving a patient's life and bringing them back from the edge of death is my job, and I love doing it. I treat my work like worship."

He further said, "Actually, I came here to check you."

Then Dr. Kevin checked the movement of Sarah's hands and legs. Her hands were responding, but they were still weak and not fully functional. However, when he checked her legs, there was no movement at all.

For a few moments, Dr. Kevin stayed silent.

Sarah also could not understand anything.

Dr. Kevin did not tell her the truth that she might not be able to walk and would have to depend on a wheelchair. The reason behind this was that Sarah was already scared because she had lost her memory, and if he told her this as well, she would become even more disturbed.

So, he simply said, "You take rest, everything is fine," and left the room.

On the other side, Ryan had a meeting with a client that day. But his mind was not there. His thoughts were somewhere else. He was only thinking about Sarah — where she might be, how she might be, and in what condition she might be.

The client also noticed Ryan's behavior. The client felt insulted that he had been sharing his ideas for so long, but Ryan was ignoring him. The client got angry and left the meeting.

Sitting beside Ryan, his friend Alice tried to stop the client, but the client did not stop.

However, Ryan did not seem to care.

He told Alice to let the client go and said that they could not change his decision.

Alice tried to explain to Ryan, "Ryan, this is very wrong. I know you are worried about Sarah, but it is also wrong that you are not focusing on your business at all."

Ryan looked at her angrily and said rudely, "If you have a problem with this, you can end the partnership. But do not try to change me or explain things to me. I am the way I am, and I will stay the same."

After hearing this, Alice did not argue and quietly left.

Meanwhile, outside Sarah's room, two nurses were talking to each other, and Sarah could hear them. They were talking about her.

One nurse said, "I feel really bad for that girl. First, she has lost her memory, and on top of that, she might never be able to walk again."

Hearing this, Sarah felt a deep shock. She got scared. She did not understand how to react. She started feeling extremely helpless and began to cry.

Then the other nurse said, "If I were in her place, I would have ended my life long ago. I would not want to live like this."

These words triggered Sarah deeply.

She started feeling demotivated.

She began to think that maybe the nurse was right.

"What is the point of living a life like this?"

A dark thought slowly entered her mind.

"Maybe dying would be better."
