Meanwhile, in East Serenity Residence —
After a long, deep sleep, Brenda's eyes finally showed some movement. Her eyelashes subtly yet weakly moved before she slowly tried to open them.
A smile curled her lips as she muttered in an almost inaudible voice, "So, it wasn't the end of my days yesterday."
When you know your end is near, you no longer hesitate about dying. Every new day turns out to be a victory against death. And no matter how big or small a victory is, it's always worth celebrating!
"Madam, you are awake!"
Before Brenda could get the chance to register her surroundings, Xander's voice stunned her. She turned to look at the man, who suddenly leapt forward as if looking at the eighth wonder of the world.
She blinked at him, her brows furrowed slightly in confusion. She didn't respond to him but instead gestured for him to help her sit up, to which he readily agreed.
Supporting her weak body in a comfortable sitting posture, he adjusted a pillow behind her.
