As soon as Peter said that I rose from where I was lying down and followed him. Of course, I was delighted to know that Ricky was already awake. And when we got there, I saw both Justine and Gigi standing surrounding Ricky. I walked beside them and examined Ricky who was sitting uncomfortably on the bunker bed.









'How are you feeling?" Justine asked.









Ricky did not say anything at first and he just roamed his eyes around us until it stopped to Gigi. And that's when several questions came to my mind. I honestly don't know what their relations are. Although I tried asking Gigi about that the last time, and she just gave me a vague answer. So, I figured out they don't want to talk about that.









'I'm doing good. How long have I been sleeping?" Ricky suddenly asked.









The three of us surrounded him as Justine continued talking to him. 'You've been unconscious

We stayed like that for a moment, and I let her cry. I was holding the band-aid on my left hand, waiting for her to stop from wailing, and when she finally did, I immediately started pouring some drops of betadine on the cotton buds.









'How long have you been here?" she asked when she had finally composed herself.









I stopped from dropping betadine on the cotton bud and I looked up at her.









I smiled. 'Probably a week? I'm not really sure. But that's my estimate," I shrugged.

Ricky frowned. 'Twent
