peacefully；　her　ribs　expanding　and　contracting　gently　with　each　breath；　her　dark　hair　fanned　out　on

the　pillow　around　her　head；　looking　exactly　like　a　sleeping　Snow　White。　？Yeah；？　he　said；

relieved。　？She？s　sleeping。？

？Okay。　I　want　you　to　stay　there　and　watch　her。　Just　make　sure　she　doesn？t　start　to　vomit；　and　if
