The butler offered Ming Mei a cup of hot water before leaving.
Ming Mei sat for a while, feeling her stomach still uncomfortable, heavy, making it hard to sit.
She took a few deep breaths, holding onto the sofa armrest to stand up, her heart seeming to beat a little faster than usual.
Turning around in the living room, Ming Mei felt as if there was a breath trapped in her chest.
She wrapped her clothes tightly and walked to the hallway.
The sky was barely bright, a cool breeze mixed with light rain blew in, making her face feel cool and instantly more comfortable.
Taking a deep breath of the faintly bright air, Ming Mei expelled the congestion from her chest.
Standing in the hallway was more comfortable than inside the room. She looked around seeing no one, biting her finger, thinking... no one noticed, she'd just stand there for a little while.
However, not even five minutes later, the wind outside grew stronger, making Ming Mei feel a bit cold.
