Chu Le'er slept from that night till noon!
When she woke up, she stretched her arms sleepily. She looked somehow surprised and confused. She stood up tentatively and looked around. Then suddenly she screamed, "What! Why don't I feel any pain today!"
Duan Shuyi, who was standing beside her, burst into tears. She held her daughter in her arms as she cried, "No pain! No pain! You won't feel pain anymore! My poor child…"
