Super Nanites - Chapter 3: CHAPTER 3: AAaaahhhh.

Landfall hospital, common patient ward, Bed 20.

The curtains were pulled around the bed, hiding the patient from sight, a young lady was sitting on a chair beside the bed and dozing off.

It was Alexander and Angela, it seems he was taken to the hospital after finding him unconscious in the parking lot.

Ughhh

Suddenly a groan escaped from his mouth as his eyes snapped open.

His eyes were murky, and he looked lost. At the same time, Angela woke from her sleeping daze with the sound from Alex and looked at him who opened his eyes and called out.

“Alex… Alex. Thank god you woke up.”

Alexander heard the voice calling out to him, and the murkiness in his vision receded as his eyes filled with clarity, and life returned to them.

He noticed the unfamiliar ceiling and surrounding whiteness and was confused as to where he was. It was then that he heard someone calling him and his eyes looked to the side and saw Angela’s tear-stained face talking to him with a happy smile.

“Alex, are you alright?” Angela asked him with a bright smile feeling happy that Alex woke up. Even though the doctor said he was just unconscious due to low glucose and blood levels, she was still worried for him.

“Angela, where am I?” Alex spoke, his voice dry and raspy, and he started coughing just as he spoke.

Cough…cough.

“Here, drink some water” Angela turned over and filled the glass with water while Alex sat up slowly, leaning on the pillows.

Gulp..gulp

“Thank you, Angela,” Alex muttered after he drank water. It seems he was still lost on how he came to be here.

“I was so shocked and worried when i heard that you were lying unconscious in the parking lot,” Angela spoke with a worried voice as she saw that he was still in a daze.

Alex was confused about what she was saying. “I am just unconscious, wasn’t I crashed by a car, and my bones broke”

“Huh!” Alex made a confused nasal sound and looked down at his body and was shocked to find all the injuries gone.

“Was it all a dream? No, it was too real to be a dream. I could still remember all the details and the pain coursed through the entire being and the desolateness when the death arrived. It couldn’t be a dream”. Alexander thought inside. But he didn’t voice them out. As no one would believe him, they may think he was daydreaming.

“I am fine, Angela. Just a little confused.” Alex said to Angela, who was clearly worried as he was still looking in a daze and thinking.

After hearing him speak, she heaved a sigh of relief and spoke. “You take a rest and I will go call your parents and inform them that you are awake and also get the discharge papers ready.”

“Hmm. Thank you Angela.” Alex replied while closing his eyes and lying down.

Angela went outside, and Alex was thinking hard about what really happened last night as his brows were scrunched up in concentration.

Even after a long time, he couldn’t think of any plausible answers for what happened last night. He can only think it was all a dream when he heard a vibration going on the bedside table.

He opened his eyes and looked to the side and saw that it was his mobile vibrating. He reached for the mobile when his hands touched it he felt weird. Instead of the smooth surface, he felt like he touched the cracked and zagged ground, with confusion he turned the phone towards him and saw the screen, and his eyes squinted and the color from his face drained and his breathing became hurried.

The entire screen of the mobile was cracked like a hammer smashed it. From what he remembers, when the car crashed on to him, the mobile was in his hand, and it got flung away and smashed hard into the roof above and fell. If he had any doubts before about the weird accident or dream, now he is sure that it was all real.

This was a new model that was supposed to have a strong screen named Dinosaur substrace 6, it won’t just break by falling from hand. Now that he was sure what happened to him was real. He needs to know how and why he was still alive after that crash.

As he was thinking, the mobile vibrated again. He couldn’t clearly see the name, but he knew it was his mom calling from what he could see of the caller’s picture. He swiped his finger above to accept the call, but the glass fragments on the screen cut his finger and a little drop of blood got smudged onto the screen.

He frowned and furrowed his brows as he looked at the blood from his finger and thought. “If I really was crushed by the car and somehow got healed and lived through it. But where did all the blood go?”

He sighed and massaged his temples. The more he thought about it, the more complicated the entire situation got. He didn’t have answers to his questions and even if he had some, those answers further led him to new questions.

His thoughts were broken by Angela’s voice. “Alex, you are good to go. I called your parents and told them I will be bringing you home back”.

Alex nodded his head and said, “Yeah. Let’s go. I am fine, there’s no need to stay any longer”. He got up from the bed and with the help of Angela walked outside.

A white zetra was traveling on the road, in which Alex and Angela were present. They were silent as Angela was driving the car and Alex was resting on the passenger side. He was thinking if yesterday’s incident was an accident or a murder.

He knows that it can be a hit and run case, but the way the car was without a license plate and no logo bumper, he couldn’t help think more about that. And he doesn’t have life and death enmity with anyone.

As he was in thoughts, Angela who was driving was also lost in thoughts, as she never saw Alex this lost and worried. Even though he made sure to not show worry on his face, as his childhood friend, she instantly knew he was hiding something from her. But he didn’t speak out to her, so she didn’t ask him.

In half an hour they reached Alexander’s home. She parked the car in the garage and they both got out of the car.

“Honey, look how pale his face has gone”. Said Marga to her husband Jonathan, while looking at her son Alexander with a worried gaze.

They were Marga and Jonathan, parents of Alexander. Marga looked like she was in the 40’s even though she was above 50 years old, same for Jonathan he looked fit and healthy for someone of 62 years. It was no wonder that Alexander looked so handsome, It was all genes from his parents.

Alexander smiled when he saw his parents and went forward to hug them. His mother hugged him tight and patted his back lovingly as she chided him, “I always tell you to take of your health, but you don’t listen”.

Angela looked at them who were lost in their world and said, “I will take my leave, aunt and uncle. I am tired and sleepy. I will visit in the evening”.

“Come for dinner Apricus, I will make your favorite cherry pie”. Marga replied to her lovingly and they all parted their ways as Angela went to her house which was just 4 houses away. And Alex and his parents entered their home.

Inside the house Alex said. “Mom, I am feeling very tired, I will be resting in my room. Can you bring the food upstairs, I will eat it there”.

“I will bring it at 3 pm then, make sure to shower and sleep”. His father Jonathan replied.

“Thanks dad”. Said Alex and hurriedly walked upstairs towards his room. As he walked up, his parents didn’t see his face twitching and veins bulging on his forehead.

He swiftly entered his room, closed the door and locked it. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his face and screamed like crazy while kneeling.

Aaaahhh..
