She gradually fell asleep in the cold air.
In the middle of the night, noises came from downstairs, the sound of car engines stopping, chaotic footsteps, and low cries of surprise from the servants.
The mountain nights are incredibly quiet, so quiet that any disturbance can be heard upstairs. Aldana Candi was already a light sleeper; she trembled awake from her dreams and then heard chaotic footsteps coming from the staircase.
"Young master, slow down!"
"Ah! Young master, are you alright?"
"Be careful, watch your step! Don't fall!"
The commotion near the stairs completely chased away Aldana Candi's sleepiness. She had forgotten to turn on the air conditioner before falling asleep, and now the entire room was as cold as the outdoors. The mountain temperature was already lower than in the city, and Aldana, wrapped in a blanket, felt icy cold, shivering badly.
