Chapter 2
Where am I currently? Believing she had died, the woman glanced about in a daze. Absolutely sure about her fall from the tower, how did she end up here?
The woman sits up in her bed and scans the room with a puzzled expression. This felt familiar. Isn't this her room?
"Wait, is this my old house?" she asked herself, sounding confused. The inner turbulence she experienced left her baffled.
She then examined her pale skin, convinced she had been burnt before dying.
What has happened to my skin? Am I...? 'Is this really happening?' she questioned while squeezing her palms. That's it for this. Why do I need to see this in my dreams before dying? Wait a minute, could this be heaven? Does a person live again the moments of their life after dying? This doesn't make any sense to me.
She tried to get out of bed but accidentally knocked her leg against the edge.
Oww! She shouted in pain, 'That hurts!'
"This isn't a dream. While squatting to soothe her aching leg, she wondered aloud, 'Can people actually feel physical pain in dreams?'
Xin Yan, are you still asleep? "Little girl, you need to go to the office today," a tender voice resonated. She swiftly tilted her head upward.
Even in death, the familiarity of the voice remained unmistakable to her. It was her nanny's voice.
"Nanny Zhong," she murmured softly.
