NovelEnglish“Thank you so much, doctor
The doctor and nurses left the ward. Miller asked Blair, “Are you hungry or thirsty? Want a glass of water?”
“Sure.” She didn’t know how many hours she had been asleep. She was now both thirsty and hungry.
Miller poured a glass of warm water, put it on the table, rolled up her bed and put the water to her Lips. With his help, Blair drank the water slowly.
While she drank, Miller told her, “I didn’t expect us to be separated by the flood. We’d been waiting for a long tbefore we were rescued.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI saw your cousin waiting in the rescue site. After a while, they brought you back. You were unconscious then. We rushed you to the hospital. You’ve been asleep for more than 24 hours. Your uncle and cousin just Left. My parents were here too. They madepromise to take good care of you.”
Blair finished the water. She still felt thirsty, but she knew she shouldn’t drink too much.
“I’m hungry. Is there any food?”
Miller thought about it for a moment.

“I’ll go grab something for you.
Wait for me. I’ll be right back.”
“Thank you.”
When Miller was out of sight, Blair struggled to reach her phone while still in bed. She could just reach the counter where it sat. She nearly dropped it, but managed to recover quick enough. It was waterlogged, and she was unable to turn it on. Sighing in defeat, she used the landline in the ward to call Adalson.
“Uncle, it’s me
“Blair? You’re awake? How are you feeling?” Adalson got the call as soon as he got home.
“I’m fine, Uncle. I just want to ask…” Her voice trailed off as she didn’t know how to say it. From the moment she woke up, all she wanted to know was if Wesley was all right. She had to get Miller out of the room so she could make this call.

“He’s safe. Don’t worry. He saved himself and about ten more people. He got sminor injuries and is in the shospital you’re in.”
Blair heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Wesley was fine.
“Which ward?” she asked urgently.
After a short pause, Adalson eventually told her the room number.
After ending the call, Blair stared blankly at the translucent IV bottle. Words were printed on it, describing the solution and instructions for its use. She knew Wesley had saved her life.
She hadn’t expected him to be anywhere near South Mountain.
The hospital cafeteria was closed at this hour, so Miller found a restaurant nearby. He cback with stakeout-it smelled amazing.
Blair ate the food slowly, trying to get her stomach used to food. When she was full, there was still more than half of it left.
