Pain.
That was the first thing Jiang Li became aware of.
Not the room around him, not the voices drifting somewhere beyond his consciousness, and not even the fear that would soon flood his chest. It was pain that reached him first, deep and overwhelming, spreading through his body until he could no longer tell where one ache ended and another began.
A high, unpleasant ringing filled his ears. It was so loud that his eardrums seemed to throb with every pulse of his heart. He tried to move his head away from the sound, but even that small movement felt impossible. His limbs were heavy, almost disconnected from him, as though his body belonged to someone else.
He tried to open his eyes.
Nothing happened.
His eyelids felt impossibly heavy, and when he attempted to lift his arms, they barely responded. His body was too weak, too numb, and whatever had been given to him still seemed to be working through his system.
Then he remembered.
He was pregnant.
