When the Governess arrives at the hospital, she finds that the young woman is locked in her room. The Governess tries to get her to wake up, but the girl is too absorbed in her thoughts about the previous night's events to listen to her. She tells her that she will have to go back to work the next day, but she cannot stop thinking about the events of the night before. She asks why the young man has come to see her, and she tells him that the girl's mother was begging her for money, and that she agreed to take the girl to the hospital. She says that she did not tell the girl because she wanted her to not get into her own head, but because she was afraid that she would get into trouble if she told the girl about her drinking with Lu Shaojie
