Song Ci awoke suddenly from a nightmare in the middle of the night, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. Chun Fen, hearing the commotion from the outer room, quickly got up and brought a lamp inside.
"Madam?"
Song Ci gasped weakly, responding with a faint sound.
Chun Fen was startled and hurriedly approached, placing the lamp on a nearby table and lighting an additional one, asking Song Ci, "Madam, were you startled by a nightmare?"
"I had a nightmare, give me some water."
"Alright." Chun Fen quickly fetched a pot of warm water from the warmer, poured a cup, and helped Song Ci drink.
After drinking a cup of tea, Chun Fen assisted Song Ci to the restroom, where she changed into clean clothes.
Song Ci felt somewhat embarrassed; her body was truly aging, as even a nightmare could frighten her to the point of wetting herself.
However, she barely paid mind to this, as she recalled the nightmare, her eyebrows furrowing.
"What time is it?"
