A night passed.
The next morning, Qiao Yin woke up.
Feeling groggy, a splitting headache, various parts of her body were relaying different intensities of pain.
She opened her eyes, only to find darkness.
She assumed her vision was blurred from just waking up, so she waited a while before trying to open her eyes again.
However, it was still pitch black, no light at all.
The sound of her grandmother's surprised voice echoed in her ears: "Yinyin, are you awake?"
Qiao Yin instinctively turned towards the source of the voice, "Grandmother?"
"Yes, it's me, Yinyin, it's your grandmother!"
"Grandmother, can't I see with my eyes?"
"Yes, but don't worry, it's only temporary. After a few days of treatment, your eyesight will be restored."
"Oh."
Qiao Yin relaxed, then reached out for her grandmother's hand: "Grandmother, are you scared? What time is it? Have you eaten? Have you slept and rested?"
