Xia Chu woke up to find it was already the next morning.
Sister Xie, seeing her finally awake, smiled radiantly, "Madam has finally woken up! How are you feeling now, any discomfort, are you hungry?"
Xia Chu shook her head weakly, "I'm okay, not hungry, just feeling a bit weak. Sister Xie, did you stay with me all night? Thank you."
Sister Xie helped her sit up against the headboard.
She smiled again as she handed her a cup of warm water, "Madam, please don't mention it, it's what I should do. I haven't done much, just changed your clothes after I came yesterday, and then slept on a mat here in the room all night. I thought I might have to get up several times during the night, but Madam slept very soundly throughout."
After drinking half a cup of water and feeling much better in her throat, Xia Chu smiled and asked Sister Xie, "Is Huo...Xiyao at home?"
