Chapter 61 You Know I'm Coming Back

• Everything hurt her, as if every cell in her body was rebelling against her. Beyond there was a light, distant and cold, too cold, Max didn't want to go towards it, but her consciousness shook as those hands shook her body.
• "Max... Max... you have to wake up... Max...!"
• She opened her eyes startled and the light was no longer distant but upon her. She trembled as she realized where she was, on a cold metal stretcher, naked, with a sheet over her. Her hair was wet and she smelled of cleanliness and disinfectant all around, but she couldn't see the place because the lights were too bright. Surgical lights, white... her breathing became shallow and she clenched her teeth with a groan of pain.
