Early the next morning, Long Linger slept straight through until the doctor came to call her; only then did she open her eyes. For so long she'd been worrying about Huang's safety, unable to eat or sleep well. Even when she was exhausted from running around, she was thinking about him all the time. These days she hadn't had a proper night's sleep, so last night was the most restful night she'd had, because her mood had finally eased.
"Mrs. Zhou…"
That unfamiliar "Mrs. Zhou" made her heart jump wildly. When she opened her eyes she saw that same Doctor Lin from yesterday standing in front of her. After all, she was a fraud and terrified of being exposed, so the person she least wanted to see every day was this Doctor Lin.
"Doctor Lin, morning!" Long Linger said with a smile.
"How are you feeling today?"
"Great! Actually, you don't have to do rounds every day. I'm fine…" Long Linger was dying for this Doctor Lin to disappear and never show up in front of her again.
