"Lulu, Lulu?"
Struggling to open her eyelids, Xia Lu saw Xia Zhiqiu's eyes brimming with worry. "Mom..."
"Doctor, she's awake, my daughter is awake!"
Soon, several people she didn't recognize gathered around the bed. They were all dressed in white, asking her questions with voices that seemed to come from distant outer space.
"Miss Xia, can you hear me?" an elusive voice reached Xia Lu's ears. She wanted to reply that she could, but no sound came out.
"Don't worry, you have just woken up. Your body needs some time to recover," the doctor's pleasant voice echoed in her ear. "I'll conduct some checks on you first. If there's any discomfort, let me know promptly. Blinking continuously will do."
