Lily's sleep was interrupted by a torrent of nightmares, causing her to awaken with a start. Her body was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and her mind was filled with a sense of unease. It felt as though someone had been speaking to her in her sleep, their words echoing in her ears.
As she tried to catch her breath, Xiao Xi, who had been alerted by Lily's scream, rushed into the room. Concern etched on her face, she asked if Lily was okay.
Lily's voice trembled as she recounted her unsettling experience. "I don't know, Xiao Xi. It felt like there was a presence in my room, whispering to me. I can't shake off this feeling of being watched."
Xiao Xi's brows furrowed with worry. She gently placed a hand on Lily's shoulder. "It's understandable that you feel this way after everything you've been through. Traumatic experiences can leave a lasting impact on our minds. Perhaps it would be a good idea to see a doctor, just to ensure that you are physically and mentally well."
Lily nodded, grateful for Xiao Xi's concern. The idea of seeking professional help seemed like a logical step to address her troubling nightmares. She understood the importance of taking care of her well-being, especially as she embarked on a journey filled with uncertainties.
Together, they made plans to visit a reputable doctor in Jiu Hua, someone who could provide guidance and support during this challenging time. Lily knew that facing her fears and seeking help was a necessary step towards healing and reclaiming a sense of peace.
As the night continued, Lily couldn't help but feel a sense of unease lingering in the air. Shadows danced on the walls, casting eerie silhouettes that seemed to mock her fears. She yearned for a restful night's sleep, free from the haunting nightmares that plagued her.
Xiao Xi remained by her side, offering comfort and reassurance. She reminded Lily of the strength she possessed, assuring her that she was not alone in her struggles. They would face the challenges together, supporting each other every step of the way. "Go ahead and sleep without fear, I will accompany you in your room tonight." encouraged Xiao Xi.
While Lily tried to fall asleep, she still cannot shake of the feeling of someone watching and observing her every move. Lily doesn't think that she is being paranoid.
