He walked into the room and saw her lying in bed with the sheets covering her full body. He gave out a big sigh and went to her then he uncovered her head. She looked at him and gave him a little bitter smile and inquired,
“I was stupid wasn't I ? I should have revealed myself as a mermaid a long time ago, now I know you hate me for lying to you. ”
