Just as Leo felt almost suffocated, consumed by despair and fear, a hurried yet somewhat aged voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Hey! Young man, wake up, are you awake?" With this voice, Leo felt his face being gently tapped, the cool touch contrasting sharply with his recent terrifying nightmare, instantly pulling him back to reality.
Leo struggled to open his eyes, finding it difficult to adjust to the intense white light around him. He could only squint, trying to discern the blurry figure before him. As his vision gradually cleared, he finally saw the person standing in front of him - a middle-aged man, whose face seemed somewhat familiar to him. After a moment of thought, Leo finally remembered - wasn't this Douglas, the black market doctor from his memory?
At this moment, Leo's heart is filled with complex emotions. Waking up from the suffocating fear and seeing Douglas's familiar face again brings him a sense of comfort and security. He realizes that he has escaped the despair of the dream and returned to the real world. This feeling of being redeemed from despair fills Leo with an indescribable sense of gratitude towards Douglas.
Gasping for breath, as his consciousness gradually clears, he begins to feel the weakness of his body and the stabbing pain in his stomach. The pain makes him involuntarily open his eyes, filling his heart with confusion and unease. Seeing Leo's reaction, Douglas shows a look of understanding and sympathy on his face, and slowly says, "Take it slow, young man... no need to rush, the beginning is always... more painful." His voice is calm and encouraging, as if trying to soothe Leo's emotions.
Leo nodded with difficulty, still struggling to speak, but he was eager to understand his condition. He made an effort to make his voice sound more firm: "I'm lying here... for how long?" This question was crucial to him, as he wanted to know what had happened during this time and how severe his injuries were.
Douglas seemed to pause for a moment before answering, then said, "You've been lying here for three days." His tone remained calm, seemingly trying to avoid adding more pressure to Leo. "You've been seriously injured, but fortunately you were brought in time and after treatment, your condition is stable now. It's just... recovery will take some time, you need to be patient."
Upon hearing these words, Leo still had many doubts and anxieties in his heart, but at least he knew that he was safe now and in the process of recovery. This gave him some comfort and made him realize that what he needed next was not just physical recovery, but also emotional adjustment. Facing the uncertainties and challenges of the future, Leo knew he couldn't act hastily. He had to be patient and wait until he fully recovered before facing everything in life again.
Leo cautiously reached out to touch the thick bandage on his stomach. As his fingers gently slid over the wrapped area, a dull pain spread throughout his abdomen, a sensation that was both real and painful, causing him to furrow his brow. This pain was not only physical, but also a reminder to his soul, telling him that he truly existed in this world. Every breath, every heartbeat, was proof of his indomitable spirit.
Even in such pain, Leo can feel a kind of life force flowing within him, a resilience that never gives up in the face of difficulties and suffering. This pain becomes a connection between him and the world, a proof of survival, and a motivation to move forward. At this moment, Leo becomes even more aware that no matter how difficult the future path may be, he must bravely face it, because as a living person, his existence in this world has meaning and value.
As the pain gradually subsides, Leo turns to Douglas with a hint of urgency and concern, asking, "How long will it take for my injury to fully recover?" His voice carries a sense of unease, as this recovery means the key to whether he can stand up again and continue moving forward.
Douglas gently touched his rough chin, seemingly contemplating how to provide an answer that was both accurate and not overly worrisome for Leo. He pulled up a chair next to Leo's bed, his tone becoming soft and serious: "This... depends on you, I've done all I can." His eyes revealed a hint of professional confidence as he continued to explain: "I've already applied synthetic skin to the surface, so theoretically, the external appearance should recover relatively quickly." His voice carried a note of encouragement, as if trying to comfort Leo.
However, Douglas's tone quickly turned serious: "As for the internal wounds, they may not heal as quickly..." He paused for a moment, seemingly searching for the most appropriate words, and finally offered an estimate: "Conservatively, maybe two weeks?" His words were filled with the doctor's understanding and respect for the patient's recovery process, while also implying a fact: the recovery process requires both time and Leo's own effort and patience.
Upon hearing this answer, Leo's mind was filled with countless thoughts, but he also understood that recovery is a long and arduous process. He knew that in the days to come, he would need to follow Douglas's instructions, patiently wait for his body to heal itself, and actively cooperate with treatment in the hope of returning to optimal condition as soon as possible. For a warrior, such waiting and recuperation might be another form of challenge, but Leo was prepared to face it.
