Ning Xia, who usually slept well, suddenly woke up with heart palpitations in the middle of the night tonight, for reasons unknown.
She sat up hugging her blanket, touching the inexplicably pounding heart in her chest, and stared at the moon hanging over the sea outside the window for a long time before she slowly calmed down.
She touched her forehead, damp with a thin sweat.
What was wrong with her?
Ning Xia shook her head, pushed back the blanket, got out of bed, walked to the kitchen outside, poured a glass of water, and drank it slowly.
After returning to the bed, she tossed and turned, struggling to fall asleep again, feeling so uncomfortable lying down that she had to sit up.
The corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the mobile phone on the nightstand which had been there since she arrived, untouched.
Her hand reached out unconsciously, picked up the phone, and pressed the power button.
