It was past nine in the morning when Amelia Linton woke up from her sleep. Upon waking, she did not say a word and just stared at the ceiling blankly without uttering a sound.
"Do you want some water?"
Fabian Holmes tried to communicate with the dazed Amelia Linton, but she did not even move her head. It was as if she hadn't heard him and continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.
Seeing this, he could no longer remain calm. Leaning forward, he raised his voice and asked again, "Do you want some water?"
But the result was the same; she still stared motionlessly at the ceiling, indifferent to his words.
After getting no response to two consecutive questions, Fabian Holmes could no longer sit still. He abruptly stood up, preparing to go out and find a doctor.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to..."
Upon hearing someone ask, Fabian instinctively responded, but just as he spoke, he sensed something unusual, stopped in his tracks, and turned to look at the person on the bed.
