A male doctor with deep-set eyes approached. His hair was slightly curly and brown, and his skin was slightly dark. His teeth were white and bright, and he had a tropical smile on his face. "You're awake!" he said in English, but with a heavy Southeast Asian accent, sounding like a cassette tape getting stuck, with each syllable popping out.
Shen Mu responded in English, "You saved me. Thank you so much."
The doctor waved his hand and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Dr. Morse. It's my duty to help you."
Morse seemed relieved and exaggeratedly patted his chest, saying, "You lost a lot of blood when you were brought to the hospital. You were almost beyond saving!"
Shen Mu suddenly remembered the scene of being shot on the lifeboat that night.
A week ago, on that intense night, she lay flat on the lifeboat, trying to slow down the sinking of the boat. But the boat was out of control, and Shen Mu could only watch herself drift further and further away from the cruise ship.
