~ 9 ~

Time passed and I was suddenly startled by someone coughing.

My head snapped up so fast that I winced when I felt my neck crack with the movement. I had fallen asleep in the chair, my head hanging down, but I forgot the pain on my neck when I saw that Dimitri was awake, looking at me.

"Hey there, comrade!" I smiled at him and pushed the button to call for the nurse.

Dimitri furrowed his eyebrows, but when he tried to say something he coughed again.

I quickly grabbed a glass with water and helped him sip a bit of the cool liquid.

He leaned back against the pillow afterwards, looking confused.

"How are you feeling?" I asked him, just as Dr. Kirova and a nurse came into the room.

Before anyone else could say anything, Dimitri asked something that made my heart break in half.

"Who are you?"
