Putting everything else aside, even if Xia Wan and Taozi have done some things that have hurt your feelings, they are still, after all, your own flesh and blood!

Wu Zhaodi slowly raised her head, and her previously expressionless face gradually showed a change.

At first, there was only confusion and blankness; then, as if drawn by an invisible force, a look of determination slowly emerged.

“Aunt Zhang, you’re right! I am their biological mother, and no matter what, this blood tie can never be severed. It’s just that I really can’t understand why they can be so cruel and heartless to me?”

Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, but her voice was still full of concern as she said, "That's right, Zhao Di, don't overthink it. The most important thing now is to find Tao Zi. He's your son, and he has to take care of you in your old age!"

Wu Zhaodi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, you're right, I have to go find Taozi!"

"Ah, that's more like it!" Seeing that she seemed to be persuaded by him, he felt a surge of pride, said a few more perfunctory words, and left!

...

Xia Wan was completely immersed in her own little world, oblivious to the gossip and infighting in the village.

As for what Wu Zhaodi was really planning, she had no idea.

Yesterday, she spent the entire day comfortably lying on her incredibly soft and comfortable bed, fully enjoying this rare moment of leisure and tranquility.

The feeling of complete relaxation made her exclaim: This is probably the most comfortable and enjoyable day I've had since I traveled to this strange world!

However, despite feeling extremely satisfied at this moment, she knew very well that there were still many things waiting for her to deal with, and now was far from the time to lie down and rest.

So, the next morning, shortly after sunrise, Xia Wan couldn't wait to set off for the county hospital.

She was on an important mission this time—she had to personally check on Guo Zhen's current situation.

Moreover, in just two short days, thanks to her in-depth exploration of the system's shop, she actually managed to find a magical drug that was said to be able to put people into a state of mental confusion.

Her purpose in coming to the hospital was to find an opportunity to use this mysterious drug on Guo Zhen.

After a long and arduous journey, Xia Wan finally arrived at the county hospital safely.

As soon as she stepped into the hospital, she pretended to be familiar with Guo Zhen and asked the nurse on duty about the location of Guo Zhen's ward.

With the nurse's helpful guidance, she quickly found her target room without much trouble.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. When she arrived at the ward door full of joy, she found that Guo Zhen was being wheeled away by medical staff for further physical examinations.

Just as Xia Wan was standing in the empty ward, feeling annoyed, a cold and authoritative voice suddenly came from behind her.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Hearing the sound, Xia Wan hurriedly turned around and saw a male doctor in a white coat with an unusually serious expression staring at her with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets in her heart.

"I...I came to visit my uncle. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little dizzy, so I stood here for a while to get some fresh air and calm down."

Xia Wan's voice trembled slightly, her eyes darted around, and she dared not meet the doctor's gaze. At the same time, her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her fingers turning slightly white from the force. She looked very nervous and uneasy.

The doctor looked the flustered woman up and down with a suspicious gaze, and after a moment of silence, said, "Deputy Factory Director Guo is not in the ward right now, but if you want to wait for him to come back, you can go in and sit down and wait for a while."

Hearing this, Xia Wan nodded hurriedly as if she had grasped a lifeline, saying, "Thank you so much, doctor! I'm so grateful! I have another question I'd like to ask, is my uncle the only patient in this room?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly right. This was a request made by Deputy Factory Director Guo himself, and coincidentally, our department had a relatively small number of patients during this period, so after coordination, we were able to meet his needs.”

The doctor didn't look too good. He simply nodded, said a few words, and then turned and left in a hurry.

Watching the doctor's departing figure, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly looked around and found that no one else was paying attention to her situation, so she cautiously stepped into Guo Zhen's ward.

Upon entering the room, Xia Wan's gaze was first drawn to the thermos placed next to the hospital bed.

She slowly walked to the thermos, paused briefly, and the drug that could make people lose their minds, which she had previously redeemed from the system store, flashed through her mind.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel conflicted and hesitant, after all, doing so would really violate moral ethics.

However, just a few seconds later, she gritted her teeth and told herself that there was no way out. In the end, she hardened her heart, opened the thermos lid, and poured the mysterious potion into it.

After finishing these tasks, she gently closed the door and walked lightly out of the ward.

Then, she slowly walked to the old wooden chair at the corner and sat down.

Time passed quietly, and before long, Guo Zhen was pushed back to his ward by medical staff.
