When Lan Xin Ai woke up, the sky outside was clear, and birds sang merrily on the branches.
She couldn't help but show a bitter smile. How could her body be so weak again, fainting once more? What hope is there for escape?
But thinking of escape, her heart chilled completely. Even if she escaped this villa, what of it? Surrounded by sea, there wasn't any way.
A feeling of helplessness spread through her heart, leaving Lan Xin Ai deeply despaired. Her husband hadn't arrived yet; it seemed this man was quite formidable.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, her heart restless beyond measure.
"Miss, you're awake."
The servant came in, seeing Lan Xin Ai with open eyes, dazed, and spoke joyfully.
Lan Xin Ai didn't blink, as if she hadn't heard.
Joan walked in and, seeing Lan Xin Ai's state, calmly said, "Already lost hope?"
Lan Xin Ai didn't speak, so Joan continued, "If you continue in despair, it won't be long before those fish have food again."
