It was already 5 p.m. when she returned to shore. It was too late for her to go to the hospital for the check-up. Because of her cold, she still felt a little dizzy.
She was preparing to conceive a baby, so she didn't want to take any medication. She drank a lot of warm water and lay in bed all night. She was groggy and confused, breaking out in a cold sweat.
At about 4 a.m. the next morning, she woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. She got up to cook some soup then lay back down on the bed to play Dog Town. Time flew and she had played the game for an hour. Her soup was already ready and in 'keep warm' mode.
She got up and made some toast.
The dog woke up as well. She fed it and squatted in front of the kennel, "Apollo, I have to go out today. You should stay at home."
"Woof, woof." The dog barked twice.
Natalie smiled lightly, fed it with some dog food and went back to have breakfast.
