Bab 147: Numb

Adeline slowly started to regain her consciousness. She tried to open her eyes but she realized that she was blindfolded. Then she tried to move her body but she couldn't do so as well. Her body was still numb from the sedative-laced needle that she was attacked with earlier.

She tried to lift just her head but when she lifted it a little, she felt as though the whole world was spinning rapidly. She gave up trying to move anything, she lay down as still as she could.

"Did they feed more sleep potion to me after I fainted? Why is my whole body feeling numb? I shouldn't be feeling this dizzy just because of that needle."

Adeline tried to memorize which kind of potion would have such a lasting effect but then she realized that she had no idea how much time had passed since she first fainted. "Maybe it has just been a few minutes? But why does it feel as though I have been unconscious for days? Did they lock me up somewhere?"
