They didn't notice Yao Feiran's attention, and Yao Feiran quickly looked away.

After stabilizing her seventh-tier strength, she observed the safe zone, which was constantly expanding outwards due to Yao Feiran's presence.

Just then, Zhang Jiaqi ran back: "Feiran, have you made another breakthrough?"

"What's wrong?"

"The mutated beasts outside were making a commotion and kept moving away from the safe zone. I also sensed something was different."

Yao Feiran smiled, and Zhang Jiaqi understood what she meant, so she didn't ask any more questions, but she was clearly happy.

After resting for a while, Yao Feiran went to the next world again.

Before she even opened her eyes, she heard a heated argument taking place outside in the corridor.

"Dad, I just graduated from high school. How can I afford Mom's medical expenses? Besides, the doctor said she hasn't paid any medical bills since she was admitted. Doesn't she have a retirement pension?"

"What retirement pension? You're her daughter, shouldn't you pay for her medical expenses? I don't care what you do, you can borrow it, sell it, or just let your mother wait to die!"

The girl's voice was choked with sobs: "Dad, Mom has been with you for so many years, how can you be so heartless? Mom has her own money, just take her money, the doctor said she can still be saved."

"Get out! This hospital is a scam. Ten thousand a day? You might as well just wait to die."

Yao Feiran opened her eyes and absorbed the memories.

Her original name was Yao Feiran. She had been married to Zhou Mansheng for many years but had not been able to conceive. The two underwent numerous tests, and both of them were found to be healthy. Zhou Mansheng was unable to remarry, so she decided to adopt the son of Zhou Mansheng's younger brother.

Not long after, an unexpected incident occurred. A friend brought his child to see the original owner of the body. The original owner thought it was just a normal meeting between friends, but when he went to the kitchen, the friend abandoned the child and ran away. Later, the police found out that the friend had gone abroad to escape debts, and the couple had both run away.

The original owner couldn't bear to send such a young child to an orphanage. Since she didn't have any children of her own, she adopted the child despite Zhou Mansheng's resistance and renamed him Zhou Baiheng.

Fortunately, a few years later, the original owner of this body became pregnant unexpectedly and gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Yu. She felt that Zhou Baisheng had brought her good fortune and remained devoted to him as always.

Unexpectedly, 24 years later, Zhou Baiheng's biological parents returned from abroad and transformed into multi-millionaires. Knowing that he had such parents, Zhou Baiheng went to recognize them without telling the original owner of the body.

The original owner was greatly disappointed. He stumbled and fell on the way and remained unconscious. He needed surgery to recover, but Zhou Mansheng was holding onto the original owner's savings and was unwilling to spend tens of thousands on the surgery.

The closest and most distant relatives are husband and wife.

After Yao Feiran opened her eyes, her heartbeat returned to normal, but she still needed external energy supplementation. Soon, the nurse noticed something was wrong.

"The patient in bed number 2 has woken up!"

Soon Yao Feiran was taken away for a series of examinations. When the hospital bed was pulled out, she saw two people arguing outside.

Zhou Yu's face lit up with joy, and she called out loudly, "Mom! Mom! You're awake!"

She quickly burst into tears. This had happened right after the college entrance exam, and she was already prepared to give up on going to university and go out to work and earn money.

This Zhou Yu is a supporting character with great luck, and quite strong at that. Even without the original body, he should be doing well.

Zhou Baisheng's eyes flickered, and he dared not meet Yao Feiran's gaze.

Yao Feiran forced a smile at Zhou Yu.

After the examination, Yao Feiran was found to be in perfect health. The attending physician was somewhat dazed, even suspecting that the previous equipment had malfunctioned. Apart from some low blood sugar, the patient had no other problems. He didn't know how to explain this to the patient.

"Ms. Yao, you—"

"Am I alright now?"

"It's alright now."

"It's alright now. How much medical bill do you owe? Please write down the bill."

Doctor Miao Dongwang hesitated for a moment: "Okay, observe for another day. I'll give you the list later. If there are no major problems, I'll process your discharge procedures. Come back immediately if you feel unwell after you get home."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

Yao Feiran was transferred to a regular ward. Zhou Mansheng was still muttering, "I told you the hospital is lying. You're perfectly fine. Why are they still letting you stay? I think you shouldn't pay any more money. They're just lying anyway."

Yao Feiran gave him a light glance: "Don't mention it while we're eating."

Seeing her expressionless face and feeling guilty, Zhou Mansheng quickly became angry and didn't stop talking: "I'm not trying to criticize you, but you can trip over anything, otherwise you wouldn't have spent so much money and burdened your daughter."

Yao Feiran suddenly slapped him across the face, her fingernails cutting his lip. Zhou Mansheng stumbled and fell to the ground, his face burning with pain and his head buzzing.

"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?"

Zhou Mansheng was stunned. After a long while, he stammered, "What's wrong with you?!"

"Get lost, I hate seeing you."

Zhou Yu was also dumbfounded; her mother's sudden outburst of anger was quite frightening.

The old man in the next bed, who had been lying down, suddenly nimbly walked out of the ward, and the nurse came in as well: "What are you doing?"

Yao Feiran lay back down on the bed: "This old man is too talkative and disturbs the patient's rest. Please ask him to leave."

Zhou Mansheng knew that staying any longer would be embarrassing, so he turned around and left.

Yao Feiran took the apple that Zhou Yu had peeled and slowly ate it.

"How did you do on the college entrance exam?"

"It should be about the same as usual."

"If you get accepted, continue your studies. Mom has money. Don't worry about anything else."

Zhou Yu choked up, and Yao Feiran ordered another round of takeout.

The next day, after the doctor confirmed that she was out of danger, he discharged her from the hospital. Zhou Yu stayed by her side the whole time. Yao Feiran put on a show of sudden enlightenment. Although Zhou Yu was a little puzzled by Yao Feiran's drastic change in personality, he did not suspect anything.

Over the years, the original owner and his wife had managed their own money. Zhou Mansheng was responsible for the property management fees and the household utilities, while the original owner was responsible for the daily living expenses. As for the tuition fees, Zhou Mansheng was only willing to pay half of Zhou Yu's tuition. The original owner also borne the cost of raising their adopted son because he did not want to have another burden.

In truth, the original owner of this body suffered a loss, but she was soft-hearted and never thought of separating from anyone, especially since there was a child involved.

Yao Feiran had no concerns, and as it turned out, the original owner's husband couldn't support her and would even pull the plug on her oxygen tube when she was in danger.

This kind of marriage is meaningless.

She saw a chain restaurant and pulled Zhou Yu inside.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Let's have dinner here before going back."

"Mom, you used to say this is junk food."

"Your dad can't cook for himself, and he's waiting for me, who just got discharged from the hospital, to take care of him. I'll go back after I'm full and let him starve to death."

Zhou Yu was actually quite sad. Ever since Zhou Mansheng told her to sell this calligraphy, it seemed like she was getting to know her father for the first time. He was a man who rarely spoke in his life, but during times like this, he became repulsive.

After the two finished eating, they returned to the house. Zhou Mansheng sat down to watch TV and glared at Yao Feiran: "Now that you're back, go cook. I've been eating noodles outside these past few days."

"We've finished eating. If you want to eat something, you can cook it yourself."
