In fact, as soon as Gong Ting left, Xiao Yu woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at the blindingly white ceiling, thinking to herself, so she didn't die after all.
Immediately, all her physical sensations returned. A dense, prickling pain spread across her back, as if someone was relentlessly stabbing every inch of her skin with needles, making her wish she were dead.
She tried to turn her head, but having lain still for so long, her movements were slow, and her bones creaked with the effort.
She heard the sound of light footsteps coming closer, and in the next moment, she saw a nurse in protective clothing. The nurse saw her open her eyes and was momentarily overjoyed, "You've finally woken up. I'll call the doctor."
Before Xiao Yu could react, the nurse had already left. Soon, many people filed in, and a middle-aged man with a standard British accent examined her body.
