[BEEP ... BEEP ... BEEP ...]
I open my eyes.
I am welcod by the chanical sound of a ventilator, and a whitewashed ceiling.
'And here I thought that's the end of .'
(I thought I was a goner in that accident.)
'How did I survive?'
Trying to move my limbs, I realize it's too fragile. I don't rember myself being a porcelain doll.
'Hmm let's get the situation straight with so doctors here'.
There should be a nurse button sowhere near here. Looking around for quite so ti, I search for a call button.
I find it attached to the bedside; with great efforts, I pushed the button.
'Let's wait for the doctors for an explanation.'
After a few minutes, a nurse walks into the room. She looks surprised to see awake. She cos near and calls out.
(I don't know the na she is calling though; my voice was raspy. It seems unused.)
With difficulty, I asked her, "Water ... Wa-Water pleas ..."
To give so water and call the doctor in charge.
She looks surprised and rushes towards . She helps to first sit upon my bed and then brings a glass of water. After she ensured that there was no imdiate danger to , she went to call the doctor in charge of my room.
While the nurse was gone, I pondered a bit more; the nurse called , but I'm not familiar with that na she was calling .
I'm confused with the surroundings too. It is a private room, but it looks antique-like sothing from the yesteryears.
I feel the mystery has just deepened a lot more.
'Where am I?'
'Why is it that I open my eyes and the world seems different all of a sudden?'
The endless wait cos to an end.
At least for , it was an endless wait while for others it may be sowhere around a few minutes. As the door opens, a team of doctors rush in.
I observe that the man leading them is a very handso young doctor. It sure is eye candy for patients to see handso at in front of them.
I look at the entourage and wait for an explanation.
"Hello, I'm Dr Yun Lee. I am your main doctor in charge. May I first proceed with a few preliminary physical examinations before we chat?"
I nod to this request 'at least he knows the drill'.
The doctors started a very systematic process of examination. Right from taking temperature to checking all physical status. But I have a big question i.e. why is everything so archaic?
When did the dical system revert to traditional practices? What happened to the fast-paced instant dical system?
Well getting back to the point. It took them twenty minutes to get the basic examinations done. Dr Lee asked everyone to leave, and he stayed back to explain the situation.
"I'm surprised by your recovery speed Ms Shui; your case cos under the category of the miracle. After your accident, there was little chance of you being alive."
'Now even I am wondering, what happened? Could you please fast forward to relevant details?' He observed my restlessness and my resistance to the surroundings.
"Ms Shui, do you rember yourself getting in this situation you are in now?"
I turned my head and gave him a blank look. So he asked,
"Ms Shui, do you rember your na?"
I again responded with a blank look. Well, it's better to fake amnesia than to transfer to a ntal health institution, I guessed.
The doctor sighed, "Ms Shui, I will let you know the situation promptly after your full check-up. After we establish the fact that you are fit to take any type of strong stimulus, we will further notify you."
He left after a polite courtesy.
While I am left with endless speculations.

[POV Dr Lee]
anwhile, after leaving the patients' room Dr Lee called a number -
"Hello"
"Hmm"
"I'm afraid it's a case of amnesia, temporary or permanent we need to see".
A silence answers, it's stifling.
"How do you want to answer about the accident?"
"Sothing simple"
"Okay"
After disconnecting the call.
'I swear doing a fifteen-hour surgery is less tiring than talking to this Buddha.'

[POV Bai Chang]
Inside the room, I am going berserk. Hell, I'm in the year 2020!!
How did this happen?
I clearly rember being in a covert mission and due to so reason the base got air-raided, and that's the end of . A legend in my ti, a genius, an elite among elites, how did I end up transmigrating?
Slowly, I try to get accustod to the mories in my head; sothing I have been resisting all this ti. There are bits and pieces of information and I sieve through them.
Long story short; I'm Shui Bai Chang from an elite aristocrat family and my parents have passed away. I am an heir to a rich trust fund, and I'm autistic. My mories are full of paintings and various craft skill sets, while the surroundings are a blur to .
Hence a blank slate.
While compared to my past life before transmigration/ reincarnation. I was a genius from the Star ti system with my hands in all kinds of pies. While I wished for a simple life sotis. I wanted to fulfil my dreams to pursue art and culture but, then conditions pushed to so other path.
I have a chance now.
But while contemplating I realized that I had a sad ending in both my life.
(As if dying is any rationale for happiness.)
I am wondering; was the God of Fate, Si Ming, playing around with my destiny? When the cosmic power felt it was enough of injustice to and gave a golden ticket to life with a second chance.
Now tell , who reincarnates in their past life with mories of the future? Normally it is another way around.
(Naturally, I am not complaining about the cosmic power looking after . I'm just letting my views know nothing else.)
