Intense pain shot through her mind as the first light of day broke through. Shen Mu groggily opened her eyes, her throat feeling as dry as a desert. She let out a hoarse groan.
Beside her was a man, and she called out to him in confusion, "Huo Yunxiao..."
Huo Yunxiao was sitting by her bed, dressed in a navy blue shirt, working on something. As soon as he saw her wake up, he helped her sit up and asked, "Do you want some water?"
Shen Mu nodded, clearing her throat. It felt like she had swallowed a fireball, her voice was so hoarse. Huo Yunxiao handed her the glass of water from the bedside table and reached out to feel her forehead. "Your fever has gone down, but you still need to take your medicine."
Shen Mu drank some water and moistened her throat. She pursed her lips and looked at Huo Yunxiao. "I... "
"I already know," Huo Yunxiao interrupted. "I know about the Shen family's situation."
