However, just as her hand reached for the talisman at the head of the bed.

A pair of slender, pale hands swiftly stopped her.

The temperature of the hands was somewhat cold.

Lin Yi turned her eyes and met a pair of deep pupils.

"Don’t touch," his voice carried a hint of hoarseness, but the chill within was discernible.

Although Su Yunzhou had been in a coma these past few days, he was still aware of what had been happening around him.

After speaking, he sat up, pulled a piece of paper from the bedside, and wiped his hands.

Then he tossed the paper into the trash can.

Lin Yi was stunned by the sight of his face for a moment, but the next second, she realized that his action was one of disdain for her, and her face flushed with anger, "You... you ungrateful brat! There are so many people in the Alliance who would want my help, and it’s not so easy to get!"

After drying his hands, Su Yunzhou glanced at the unfamiliar talisman beside him.

Only then he turned back to look at Lin Yi, "Thank you, but I don’t need your rescue. Butler, see the guest out."

"You, why can’t I get through to you? How could a mere talisman save someone in your condition? Ye Shaohua is not a member of the Alliance; she doesn’t even know what the Heavenly Spiritual Body means..."

"Butler?" Su Yunzhou’s voice deepened slightly.

The butler finally snapped out of the immense surprise from Su Yunzhou’s waking up.

He looked at the time; there were still ten minutes left before the hour Ye Shaohua had mentioned, indeed as Master Ye had predicted.

"Yes, Young Master," the butler’s voice trembled with excitement.

Only then did he compose himself and make a phone call. Shortly after, several bodyguards arrived from the first floor, "Miss Lin, Young Master Cao, our young master needs rest."

"You are so obstinate and ignorant!" Lin Yi, who had been revered by the people of the Monster Alliance and had never been so humiliated, burst out, "You’ll regret this!"

Biting her lip fiercely, she didn’t wait for the bodyguards to intercept her and ran downstairs on her own.

"I apologize, Young Master Su," Cao Yanzhi nodded to Su Yunzhou before hurriedly taking his leave.

Ye Shaohua had now retrieved the medicinal herbs she needed from the alternate dimension.

She then headed towards her home in the old city area.

"Shaohua, you’re back?" In the old city area, where the elder Mr. and Mrs. Ye’s acquaintances lived, the neighbors all greeted her.

Ye Shaohua also smiled back at them, "Grandma Chen."

"Be careful on your way back, your mother is here," Grandma Chen glanced upstairs.

It was only after Ye Shaohua left that the group of neighbors began discussing amongst themselves.

"What a sin," an old grandma shook her head, "Old Ye was such a good person. Had Shaohua not suddenly disappeared, causing him to drive to the countryside overnight to search for someone, he wouldn’t have had that car accident from driving while exhausted. That shameless mother of hers packed up and left immediately. Both father and daughter have such tough fates..."

"Exactly, I heard that man was her mother’s former lover, pah! Luckily Shaohua isn’t like her mother, she has a conscience, or else I don’t know how they would have coped..."

Ye Shaohua’s ears were always good.

She paused on the stairs when she overheard this comment.

The elder Mr. and Mrs. Ye never mentioned that Ye’s father had an accident while searching for the original host and didn’t blame her...

With this thought, Ye Shaohua’s expression became extremely complex.

She sighed and quickened her pace out the front door.

The Ye family home was rather empty; the two elderlies had sold everything they could to pay for medical treatment for the old master.

When Ye Shaohua returned, her mother was standing rigidly by the door of the room where her father lay.

Ye Shaohua’s maternal grandparents were sitting on a few stools in the house, conversing with Mr. and Mrs. Ye.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohua, her mother froze for a moment, "Shaohua, you’re back from school?"

Ye Shaohua glanced at her without responding.

Her mother’s expression stiffened for a split second.

"Shaohua, there’s some soup that your grandma made today in the pot; go help yourself to a bowl," Grandma Ye forced a smile.

"Now that Shaohua has come back, I won’t stay much longer. I still have to go home and cook," her mother said, eyeing the motionless figure of her father in bed, "Grandma Ye, I really have no money. Qin Si is about to go to university this year, and there’s another son at home. The four of us are relying on Old Qin’s salary. I do want to help you, but we really don’t have the money..."

Actually, before this incident, Ye’s father owned a factory. He was very intelligent and had transformed from a farmhand to a boss.

It’s just unfortunate that he’s now in a vegetative state, and even the sharpest mind is of no use.

Ye’s mother, aware of the Ye family’s current situation, made sure she received a house during the divorce—it still had a mortgage to pay. Now that Grandma Ye was asking to borrow money, there was no way she would part with a single yuan.

After all, she knew well that any money given would be without return.

A family with two elderly people, a seriously ill man at death’s door, and an absent young girl.

Grandma Ye’s gaze darkened. She had heard a few days ago that the Qin family bought a new car, so she thought to ask Ye’s mother for a loan. She had not expected her mother to refuse, as during the divorce, most of the family’s funds had gone to Ye’s mother.

Seeing Ye Shaohua head to the kitchen, Ye’s mother finally looked at Grandma Ye, "I heard from Qin Si that Shaohua is also in her senior year but that the top class doesn’t want her, so she’s in the second class now. I don’t mean to speak out of turn, but Shaohua has been out of school for over a year. Now going back to the senior year is simply wasting money."

Grandma Ye didn’t even know Ye Shaohua had gone back to high school.

Most importantly, Ye Shaohua hadn’t even asked for any money; in fact, she had even given them several hundred yuan.

Hearing Ye’s mother speak this way left Grandma and Grandpa Ye quite shocked.

Ye Shaohua’s maternal grandmother shot a glance at Grandma Ye, "Old relatives, don’t blame us. With Shaohua’s dad in such a state, we don’t know how he’ll fare for the rest of his life. We had to be harsh and force my daughter to divorce for my granddaughter’s sake. You’re parents too; with her dad like that, you can’t expect my daughter to take care of him her whole life, right? My daughter isn’t even forty yet; should she spend the rest of her life taking care of a vegetative man?"

These words were unpleasant to hear.

Originally, Ye’s father treated Ye’s mother very well. Even when Ye’s mother decided to leave, Grandma Ye didn’t make things difficult for her.

Ye’s mother took all the Ye family’s money when she left, and once she was gone, obviously took all the money with her.

Ye’s father was scheduled to have a comprehensive medical examination the next day. Grandma Ye had reluctantly approached Ye’s mother to borrow money, "Back then, you took all of Ye family’s money. This physical exam is very important..."

"Old relative, don’t talk nonsense. How much money could your son have made over the years? It all went to that money-losing venture," Ye Shaohua’s maternal grandmother changed expression at the mention of money, "Also, your son should just give up now, everyone says, how can a vegetative person possibly survive?"

Upon hearing these words, Grandma Ye’s expression changed, "You..."

Ye Shaohua carried two bowls of soup out, placing them heavily on the table, and spoke calmly, "Grandma, Grandpa, no need to borrow money from them; I have some."
