She couldn't bear to see him becan airhead. She tossed and turned for a while. Then she got up and said, "Hilla, turn on the lights." The lights were turned on immediately. The room was as bright as daytime.

Soon, she regained her consciousness. She withdrew her hand fiercely, stood up and walked away. She said, "Raymond, wake up!" She called him again, but he still didn't wake up. She walked into the bathroom, wetted a towel with cold water and put it on his forehead.

"Water." He took the glass of water and took the antipyretics.
He drank the water and had a clearer head. He asked," What tis it now?" She said, "11:30 p.m." He said, "Do | disturb you?" She glanced at him and exposed him directly, "If you didn't want to disturb me, you should have called Alexander to pick you up." She had seen through their trick already.
