“Ah…”
Sophia exclaimed, her eyes snapping open!
“Sophia!”
Karina rushed over, seeing her face covered in sweat and tears, she knew she was having a nightmare.
Sophia was breathing a little heavily, her two wet hands tugging at the covers around her body.
“Karina,” she stared at the crystal lamp on the ceiling, her eyes were empty, her voice was even more hoarse that she almost lost her voice, “I dreamt about grandpa and my mom ……”
Karina’s heart tightened and she wrung out a warm towel to wipe the sweat and tears from her face.
“It’s always easy to dream about the people your heart holds and cares about the most when you’re sick.”
Karina added, “You had a low–grade fever during the day, I gave you alcohol to physically lower your temperature, Vincent sent some medicine bought from the local pharmacy, I left it behind for fear of his suspicions, and then Dr. Arthur said he wanted to come and take a look at you, too, but I refused.”
Sophia blinked, not sure if she heard Karina or not, as she continued to narrate her dream to herself.
“In my dream, I was lost, a tunnel was long, long, long, my grandpa was yelling behind me and my mom was stopping me in front …….
Karina gently broke her hand that was tugging tightly at the covers and a warm towel wrapped around her cold hand.
“My mom told me to come back, she said I was going to be a mom too and not to go there ……
Karina lowered her head and pursed her lips hard, the ends of her eyes growing red.
Sophia’s hoarse voice gradually choked up, she closed her eyes, that last sentence, almost in a breathy voice slowly said, “But, I’m so tired…..”
Eyes slowly closed, rolling tears slipped from the corners of her
eyes.
Sophia passed out again.
Outside, the sky was already completely dark.
At this point, it was seven thirty at night in Ghana.
Karina confirms that her temperature is normal and sighs helplessly.
Can she not collapse from the physical and mental torture of this journey, coupled with the fact that she is now more emotionally sensitive with her pregnancy?
Knock–knock.
There was a knock on the door of her room.
Karina got up and glanced through the cat’s eye before opening the door.
Outside the door, Arthur hands Karina her lunch box, “Dinner.”
Karina reaches out to take it, scans around and asks, “Where’s Vincent?”
“Don’t know.” Arthur shrugged, “He was nowhere to be seen at dinner, so I went downstairs to eat it myself and packed it for you on the way.”

After a pause, Arthur asked, “How is she?”
“Just woke up from a dream and went back to sleep.” Karina is also getting too much for her and looks at Arthur, frowning very seriously, “Dr. Arthur, I’m begging you, please make sure Vincent goes back and breaks it off completely and utterly with Sophia, Sophia has suffered too much already, her heart is already too heavy to fit into this ironically unpleasant marriage,”
Arthur nodded solemnly, “I will.”
Sophia did not return to her fever that night.
Karina kept watch over her until the latter part of the night, seeing that she had stabilized completely, before she yawned and took a shallow squint.
Early in the morning, the sunlight poured in through the window screens, illuminating the entire room with an open light.
Ghana is a typical tropical country, this season, the average daytime temperature in Accra, New York is around 26 degrees.
Accra is the largest port city, the hotel faces the sea, the sound of waves and seagulls come in through the windows that are not completely closed.
Sophia slowly opened her eyes.
Yesterday’s sickness had faded, and she looked sideways to see Karina sleeping in the other bed.
After a few moments, she propped herself up on the bed and sat up.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Sophia was just about to lift the covers when Karina jerked awake.
Seeing that she was awake and planning to get out of bed, she hurriedly said, “Don’t move, I’ll get the door!”
As she spoke, she had already jumped out of bed and put on her slippers, running straight over to open the door.
Outside the door, Vincent and Arthur were standing side by side.
“Is she better?” Vincent asked.
