A few swallows were singing outside the windowsill. One of them, flown over to the bedside, maybe it was worried; it began chirping loudly at the lady. Moments later, the lady's eyelids started to move, shortly her eyes began to flutter, and she was awake.

She looked around before turning her head towards the little bird and gave it a smile. The bird took flight and went back to the windowsill, joining its partner.

When the lady rose from her bed, seeing the lady was fine, the little birds took their leave, side by side flying over the lake.

The lady tried sitting up, however her body was sore from the sleeping, thus when she attempted to climb out of the bed. Her hands slipped as they were unable to support her, and the lady tumbled out of bed with a crash.

In the process, the water basin next to her was toppled as she fell and the water splashed on her body and she was drenched in the cold water, luckily it was still early spring, and the weather was warm, but it still causes the girl to shiver and managed a sneeze.

The maid who was sweeping the floor outside the room was startled and she flung open the door; the maid was none other than Lady Bai's nanny, Madam Wong. She was always waiting outside the room, guarding her master, praying, and believing she will wake up. The maid looked at the water-soaked girl on the floor. “Miss,” cried Madam Wong. She moved and hugged the wet girl. The girl was dumbfounded and did not respond to her at all.

“This must be a dream. Oh, how many times have I dream about this day. Say something, anything,” as she looked at the girl’s face and moving it to the left and then right with her hands before hugging her again.

“Who are you?” the girl asked Madam Wong.

Madam Wong detached herself from her, “What are you talking about Miss? It is me Madam Wong. I am your nanny.”

“Who are you?” the girl repeated. “I am Madam Wong, Miss Bai.”

“I do not know you,” said the girl, who was looking at the woman in front of her. Her eyes were blank as if she were staring at a stranger. There was not a hint of recognition from her eyes.

Madam Wong sensing the seriousness of the situation hurriedly left Mistress Zhen and went to call for the maids.

Madam Wong later returned with a bowl of warm congee when she was done instructing one of the maids to call for the doctor and alerting the Master. When she entered the room, she was very surprised to find that the lady was missing. She placed the warm congee on the table, started searching high and low in the room. She was not under the bed or inside the chests or the closet.

She scolded the other maid for not looking after the Mistress.

“How could you leave her,” blamed the old woman, whose heart was quite shaken.

“I did not know that she would leave. I was going to get her some warm tea. I just left for a while,” said Xiao Tao.

“We must hurry and find her,” said Madam Wong as she grabbed the maid’s hand and went searching everywhere. They went first to the lady's favourite places. It was not until she reached the Lotus pavilion outside her room that she was able to find her.

The lady was sitting at the edge of the pavilion, looking out and humming a song at the fishes in the pond while still drenched. Madam Wong immediately moved her back into the room and helped the lady changed while at the same time scolded her. The lady only looked confused, but she did not speak a word the whole while.
