The night is deep and quiet.
Mrs. Gu was sleeping, and suddenly she jolted awake, her entire body trembling as her eyes snapped open.
Mrs. Gu's breath was slightly erratic, her gaze filled with emptiness. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long while before her breathing gradually calmed down.
She turned her face, looking at her husband sleeping soundly beside her. She took a deep breath, lifted the blanket, quietly got up, put on a coat, and left the bedroom.
Nanny Zhang was also about to return to her room to rest. Seeing her suddenly come out with a not-so-good expression, she asked in surprise, "Madam, why are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Gu didn't answer, just said faintly, "Pour me a cup of tea."
Nanny Zhang hesitated a bit, "Madam, it's so late..."
"Go."
"Yes."
Nanny Zhang quickly made the tea and brought it to the living room, placing it in front of Mrs. Gu.
