Long Xinghe woke up for the second time to find that it was already deep into the night.
This time upon awakening, she could clearly feel that her strength had increased considerably.
It seemed that she could even sit up on her own.
However, her bones still hurt, probably where Jiang Tao had mentioned they were broken.
Moving her body, she immediately felt a numbing pain in her scalp.
But as soon as she moved, she knew which bone was the problem. Avoiding it, she could still manage to get up with some effort.
Seeing her attempting to rise, someone immediately hurried over to her.
Long Xinghe smiled and said, "Jiang Tao, no need to help, let me try on my own."
The person by the bed didn't speak, just quietly watched her.
Beads of sweat formed on Long Xinghe's forehead. In such cold winter days, it was clear that the pain she was enduring was more intense than imagined.
Yet, she persisted.
Finally, she managed to sit up in bed.
