~Young's Villa~
Sonia slowly opened her eyes. The room around her was dimly lit, with only faint traces of light filtering through the curtains.
For several moments, she remained still.
Her vision gradually adjusted to the darkness. Piece by piece, the unfamiliar room came into focus.
The furniture. The decorations. The layout.
None of it looked familiar. Confusion immediately surfaced within her.
Her thoughts were a complete mess. For a brief moment, she wondered if Kelvin had transferred her back to the ICU.
However, the idea was quickly dismissed.
Something felt wrong. Very wrong. The familiar scent of vanilla that Kelvin always used to mask the antiseptic was absent.
This room smelled entirely different like a cologne. The realization caused uneasiness to settle inside her chest.
Then the memories came rushing back. Her appointment at the cafe with Dominic.
How she coughed out blood again, the dizziness and even the overwhelming pain from the collision.
