Chapter 55 Wound
Everyone has already eaten, including Bree. Alexander also found out what had happened, so he immediately went to where Daniella was. That is why they take a break while watching Daniella, while the other one is eating. Bree, Alexander, and William are already in the same room now and are watching over Daniella because she had a fever due to the wound, so no one slept, not even William.
While Alexander is closing his eyes and trying not to sleep, Bree is busy on her phone. William, on the other hand, just stared at Daniella and noticed that her eyelid was moving, which meant that her eyes would be open at any moment. And William was right. Daniella slowly opened her eyes and frowned slightly as she looked around. She tried to stand up, which Bree supported, leaning against the wall. “How are you?” Bree asked.
“My sleep is okay,” Daniella said in a low voice.
“How are you feeling?”
Daniella frowned. “Okay, why do you ask?”
Bree looked at William. “See, I told you she even beat the one with amnesia.”
Daniella suddenly moved her wounded foot, so a tight grip on Bree’s arm that her nail almost sank into it.
“It hurts, Daniella!” Bree was already biting her lip. “What now are you going to pretend? You know everything that happened to you, don’t you?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Daniella just averted her eyes and looked to where William was sitting, so she looked back at Bree. “What are you saying there?”
Bree’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t tell me that you don’t know Daniella because it’s your fault that you disappeared and had a wound.”
“Yes, she was blown her cheek inside.” it’s my fault that I entered the forbidden tunnel in the cave.”
Bree nodded. “The person who says, ‘look for something,’ isn’t the one to look for. Look at what happened to you. You still need to sew your wound. ”
Her eyes widened. “Really? Why do I need to sew? It will heal when I take medicine. ”
“Because your wound is so deep and if you can’t sew because it won’t close, you won’t be able to walk for one week maybe, but I’m not sure yet.”
“I won’t be at the sports festival,” Daniella said, avoiding a smile.
Bree glanced at her. “Looks like you are lucky now, Daniella.” Bree just shook her head.
Eventually, Daniella seemed weak, because she hadn’t eaten yet. “Lie down first. Do you want to eat it? ” Bree asked.
“I don’t feel like eating today. Maybe tomorrow.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Daniella lay down and closed her eyes again, and in a few minutes she fell asleep.
Bree motioned for the two to come out and followed them as they exited the room. “You can go back to the room where you’re sleeping I’ll just take care of her. ”
“All right, I’m sleepy too,” Alexander replied. He had already walked away, but William was still standing across the room where Daniella was.
“You, William?”
He put his hand in the pocket of his pants. “You’re just going to sleep, Bree. I’m just going to take care of her.”
“I can do it.”
“All right, you just go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, before she wakes up, you will take my place because I will be preparing my things to go home.”
Bree sighed. Okay, I’ll fix Daniella’s things too. I’ll go first. ” Bree walked away, and William re-entered the room and sat next to Daniella while looking at her wound.
“I don’t know if you’re really clumsy and you’re in this situation.” He shook his head and fixed Daniella’s hair around her neck before laying his head on the side of Daniella’s bed to sleep for a while.
The next day, William was no longer in the room. Bree was there when Daniella woke up. Everyone is ready to go home, even Daniella and Bree’s belongings. Alexander went inside, and he offered to lift Daniella onto the bus. I’ll be the one to lift Daniella. She can’t move. Alexander would have come closer when William arrived and continued to go inside until he was next to Daniella.
Daniella wondered. “It’s just me. We’re on the same bus vehicle, and the seats are next to each other, ” William said.
Alexander just nodded and let William lift Daniella, who was still silent and frowning at William’s face as they left the room. “Don’t stare at me lest the wind catch your eyes while staring at me and you can’t close them.”
Daniella closed her eyes a few times, but did not speak. When they got on the bus, other students who were not in their class looked at them. William slowly lowered Daniella to the chair and prevented anything from hitting her foot.
Their teacher came in from within. “Daniella, you will be taken to the hospital first. Is it okay so that your wound can be stitched up right away? That’s what the doctor said last night. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you until your mother arrives. ”
“Okay.” Their teacher got off the bus again, and in a few minutes, they were traveling home.
All the students inside were silent because the others were already asleep. “What happened and did you get injured?” William suddenly asked, but he just looked straight ahead.
“I wanted to find something that ma’am was looking for, so I went to the part of the cave where tourists could no longer go there,” Daniella replied while looking out the bus window.
“Why did you get hurt like that?”
“Because I saw something sparkle and thought it might be something I could pick up. I didn’t know that there was a sharp rock in my path instead of avoiding burying my foot. ”
William winced at the word because, if he thinks about it, what happened to Daniella is very painful. “You could have given up on the search if you couldn’t find anything. You wouldn’t have had a wound that needed to be stitched up.”
Daniella smiled slightly. “I told you I would do it if I wanted to. I wasn’t afraid when I went there, but why was I still hurt even though I was comfortable going in? There was only one thing I wanted to take. ”
“The wave that is calm becomes unsettled. There is a sun, but it suddenly rains. The brave man is also crying. You are not all complacent. Nothing will happen. You do not hold the fate of what happens to someone. In a contest, when you run, you know that you are close to the finish line and only a handful away, but you don’t notice that someone is chasing you and she is the winner at the end. Don’t base everything on what you want, and don’t limit yourself to just you.”
“And at least I did what I wanted to do. Whether I lost or won, I was in a situation of my own choosing. Whether to cry or be happy, right? ”
“But in case you choose again, you’re there to be happy, not to be hurt again.”
Daniella just stared sadly at the trees they were passing by. “Don’t worry. The next time I choose, I’ll think carefully first if that’s what will make me happy.” She leaned against the bus window and closed her eyes.
William just looked at her and never spoke again. Within a few hours, Daniella was at a nearby hospital, stopped by the bus driver, which was also close to the place where they housed Daniella. William picked her up again and sat her in a wheelchair. A nurse pushed the wheelchair because William was still waiting for their teacher to talk to the bus driver, who would be the first to go to the school where the students would get off.
William just sat in the waiting area while waiting for Daniella’s mother to arrive, and less than an hour later, she arrived. “Where’s Daniella?” she asked William.
“She’s in the operating room and her wound is being stitched up.”
“How deep is the wound and do need to sew it?”
“It’s about one inch deep and as big as a coin, so it has to be sewed. Just wait for the doctor to say anything about it. I also have to leave and come home. ”
“All right, thank you very much.” It smiled at William.
“Nothing. I’m leaving. ” After informing them, William left immediately because Daniella’s mother, and their teacher, were already there.
Daniella’s teacher came out of a room and saw Daniella’s mother. “It’s good that you’re here. Daniella’s wound is okay; it’s stitched up and the doctor said she can’t walk for about one or two weeks. The doctor also suggested she use a crutch, but I decided Daniella should just stay at home and rest so her foot isn’t forced to move. I’ll pay the bill; it’s not big and, as their adviser, I’m also to blame for what happened because I didn’t watch her well. ”
“Oh! Thank you so much ma’am. ”
When Daniella’s adviser finished paying and giving the prescription, Daniella and her mother went home in an emergency vehicle.
