Weary-eyed, Bai Jin slowly opened her eyes; the bright light pierced into her gaze, filling it with a white haze, leaving her mind somewhat dazed.
Am I dead? At that moment...
I was indeed pierced through...
Is this Heaven, or Hell...
Bai Jin sat up from the bed and grabbed the collar of her clothes.
She was just about to take in her surroundings when, with a 'pop' sound, Iyas embraced her, overwhelmed with joy and tears:
"Oh, thank goodness, Bai Jin, you've finally awoken."
A rush of warmth enveloped her; the sensation from Iyas's bosom felt anything but illusionary.
Clutching her collar tightly, Bai Jin could feel her heart faintly beating.
She could hardly believe all this, her lips quivered as she asked:
"Am I still alive?"
"You're alive, truly alive, Bai Jin, you are alive.
It's so wonderful to be alive.
Yang Yu said your chest had a huge hole...
I was nearly scared to death..."
Scanning the room, Bai Jin searched for a glimpse of Yang Yu.
