Vera slept through the day. It was already night by the time she woke up.

That was the most rested she had been since the incident.

Mabie had stayed by her side throughout the day. Although she was bored and extremely sleepy, she did not walk away.

She was afraid of waking Vera up. After all, her daughter had not had a good night's sleep ever since the incident. She was afraid that her movements might jolt her awake.. Mabie was aware as soon as Vera woke up.

"Vivy, you're awake?"

Her voice was soft when she spoke to her. She was afraid that she might be frightened if she spoke loudly.

"Mom."

Vera gently lifted her head and sat up. She looked at Mabie with a pair of confused eyes. "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been sleeping for the entire day. Are you hungry? I'll make you some food."

Vera didn't have any appetite to eat initially, but she suddenly became hungry after hearing Mabie's question.

She realized that she was famished. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Mabie was exhilarated when she heard that Vera finally agreed to eat. She immediately got up and prepared to cook for her.

Vera looked around and found that they were the only two people in the room.

"Mom, where is Quill?"

She remembered seeing him before she fell asleep. Mabie thought that it wasn't necessary for him to stay as she was there to accompany her as well.

"Child, Quill has been by your side for so many days. He had not slept at all, so he needs some rest. Why don't you let him rest for a while?"

Vera's heart was filled with guilt as she heard what her mother said.

First, it was the fire, and then her unstable mental state had kept Quill up for the past few days. She recalled his appearance before she went to bed. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Even his usually clean shaven chin was filled with stubble.
