Xiang Wan softly murmured "Mm" and lay down with her back to him, closing her eyes, tears slipping from the corners and disappearing into her hair.
Perhaps due to sheer exhaustion, she slept soundly through the latter part of the night, dreamless, waking only at noon, by which time Zuo Xingyun had long since gone.
She got up, turned off the still-burning lights in the room, and called for Mrs. Zhang to change the sheets and duvet cover.
Having learned about the late-night call to the doctor, Mrs. Zhang busied herself while she voiced her concerns, "Miss, what happened to you last night? Old Yuan told me that a doctor was called to the house in the middle of the night."
Xiang Wan, grabbing some clean clothes, headed into the bathroom, "It's nothing serious, don't worry. I'm going to go out in a bit, just going to take a shower first."
Once ready, Xiang Wan's first stop was the hospital.
