The guard watching over her came in to check on her and surprisingly leniently said, "You're not feeling well, just get a good rest today, no need to move around."
Qiao Ning nodded slightly, lay back down, and continued her idle daze.
Her body felt a bit uncomfortable and off, but she didn't pay any attention to it.
Her mind had long been beyond such matters because she had already lost her spirit...
Just like that, Qiao Ning lay in bed all day, dozing fitfully, waking and sleeping.
The day passed quickly, and the night came again.
Qiao Ning mechanically ate something and then continued to lay on the bed, lost in a daze.
She thought that having slept so much during the day, she would not be able to sleep at night...
Yet unexpectedly, she soon fell straight into a deep sleep.
Perhaps out of sheer loneliness, she craved warmth.
So she dreamt yet again, dreamed that someone held her body, his embrace was scorching, warm.
