As they left the airport, a car was waiting by the curb. Andrew turned to them and asked politely, “I’ve already rented a car. Can I give you a ride to the hotel so you can rest?”
Bella and Elizabeth agreed and joined him in the car.
They drove smoothly along the road, enveloped in silence. Bella, tired from the long journey, began to feel sleepy.
Suddenly, a harsh impact jolted the rear of the car, causing it to shake violently. The driver immediately brought the car to a stop.
Shaken, Elizabeth exclaimed, “What just happened?”

Bella’s eyes snapped open. The force of the collision momentarily clouded her thoughts, and then unfamiliar images flooded her mind.
She winced, her head throbbing painfully.

“You two stay here. I’ll go check what’s going on,” Andrew said gravely.
“What bad luck! I just came back and this happens,” Elizabeth muttered, annoyed.
She glanced back and saw a car stopped behind theirs. Andrew and the driver were talking to someone from the other vehicle.
Elizabeth turned back to Bella and noticed she seemed off.
“Mom?” she called a few times, but Bella didn’t answer.
Bella murmured to herself, lost in some distressing memory.
Elizabeth bowed her head, catching fragments of her words.
Kori Thompson?
Her heart raced at the unfamiliar name.
Could Bella have known someone by that name in the past? What could she recall?
“This isn’t good,” Elizabeth muttered, hurrying to assist Bella out of the car. She turned to Andrew. “Mom isn’t feeling well. I need to get her to the hospital.”
With that, she hailed a taxi and whisked Bella away, ignoring Andrew’s reaction.
By the time they reached the hospital, Bella was nearly unconscious.
Elizabeth, standing in the hallway, bit her lip in worry.
After the examination, the doctor emerged, offering reassurance. “The patient is stable. It seems she was just scared. She’ll be fine to go home once she wakes up.”
He handed Elizabeth some prescriptions, which she accepted without a glance.
Once outside the doctor’s office, she discarded the medicines into a trash bin without a second look.
