Ali saw her face and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xinghe shook her head slowly. After they got out the camp and climbed into the car, Xinghe felt suddenly exhausted. Her body was weak to begin with, she had been surviving on will alone since the day before. Now that she had confirmed some things, fatigue caught up to her. She eventually fell asleep on the car…
…
Xinghe opened her eyes blurrily to find herself inside a simple room. The room looked old and the furniture, possessing Country Y's cultural uniqueness, had seen better days. There was a moldy smell in the air that wouldn't disperse, but thankfully, the mattress she was lying in was clean. The back of Xinghe's hand was attached to a drip and she realized she was in a safe environment.
Ali happened to open the door then. Her face lit up when she saw Xinghe awake. "Xinghe, you're finally up, you know, you have been out of it for one whole day already."
