1041 Perplexed and Smitten 101 (2/2)

After going through a detailed checkup at the hospital, Mo Li brought the results slip to an elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

She had initially already gone through a physical examination once. However, the elderly practitioner wanted her to undergo another thorough one and return to the traditional chinese medicine clinic with the report of the checkup.

After reading the results, the elderly practitioner said, \”Your condition may be optimistic, but there's still a chance at improving it.\”

\”Sir, I'm begging you, you must help me. I'm willing to cooperate, regardless of how much medicine I'll have to take.\”

\”I'll prescribe you with a month's worth of medicine. Finish it before going for another checkup. Then, bring the results to me again and I'll have a look at your condition.\”

\”Okay.\”

She headed home with a big bag of medicine, which she soaked in water for an hour before brewing.

The entire kitchen was filled with the bitter smell of medicinal herbs.

After chugging the big bowl of medicine, Mo Li felt like her stomach was churning and flipping inside out.

She took a sip of water and stood up to walk around, after which she felt much more relieved.

Mo Li then took out a photo of Ye Jiani and teared up uncontrollably.

Her heart wrenched in pain and agony.

As much as she wished that it did not happen at all, there was no way to change reality.

Her daughter's death had put an end to her marriage that was initially already in shambles.

Mo Li's teardrops fell onto the photograph. She wiped them away and muttered with a lopsided smile, \”Nini, Mommy misses you so much.\”

After staring at the photo for a long period of time, she placed it back inside a book.

Ding-Dong… Ding-Dong…

\”Who's there?\”

\”It's me,\” said an unfamiliar female voice.

Mo Li peeked out of the peephole, only to discover that it was Ye Xiaotian's wife, Qiao Yina.

She opened the door and stared at the woman in front of her. \”What are you looking for me for?\”

\”May we talk inside?\”

Mo Li allowed her to enter.

\”These are for you,\” said Qiao Yina, who placed the bag in her hand onto the coffee table.

\”What's that?\” Mo Li asked in puzzlement.

\”Your belongings.\”

She opened the bag to discover that it contained the belongings she had left behind after divorcing Ye Xiaotian.

\”I don't want these anymore. You could've just disposed them into the trashcan. You didn't have to go to the trouble of bringing them here.\”

Qiao Yina chuckled and said, \”It's better to return others' belongings to their rightful owner. I thought it'd be better to hand them back to you than to throw them away. Your house is rather well decorated, it feels so homey and heartwarming. Are you about to get married soon?\”

\”Yes, I'm getting married soon.\” Mo Li could not help but feel a little peeved to be asked such a question by her ex-husband's wife.

\”Congratulations.\”

\”Thank you, would you like to have some water?\”

Qiao Yina answered, \”No, thank you. I'll leave after a while. My mother-in-law has been hospitalized for a long time and her condition has deteriorated. I heard that she ill-treated you during your marriage to Xiaotian. Do you feel a little thrilled to hear this piece of news?\”

Greatly taken aback, Mo Li said, \”Her wellbeing has nothing to do with me. Whatever happened is now a thing of the past. I've already begun a new life of my own.\”

\”Why does your house reek of medicinal herbs? Are you ill?\”
