"Beep—"
"Ding-ding—"
The sound of the heart monitor echoed in her ears.
Shen Wei's consciousness gradually returned, her eyelids feeling as heavy as lead. She couldn't help but wonder—had she grown so old, or had her recent indulgence in sweets caused some severe eye condition?
She struggled to open her eyes.
Voices surrounded her—
"Patient in Room 3 is awake! Quick, notify Dr. Fang!"
"It's a miracle—both patients in Rooms 1 and 3 woke up on the same day."
"Comatose for years, yet they still regained consciousness. Unbelievable!"
The room buzzed with noise.
Shen Wei felt the smart hospital bed adjust, slowly raising her into a seated position with the help of machinery. The bright light stung her eyes, forcing her to squint as she adjusted.
The room, cluttered with medical equipment, was nothing like her lakeside estate in the Qing State.
Then she saw them—three or four doctors in white coats and protective gear approaching her. Wait… doctors?
Reality crashed over her.
