Just as Yu Ziling was lost in thought, the other person walked in, smiled at her, and looked quite shy. "Miss Yu, hello."

Catching sight of that familiar, insatiable gaze, Yu Ziling's figure turned cold, and she said stiffly, "Hello."

Then she spoke up, saying to Yao Fangqin, "Mom, now that the caregiver has arrived, you should go back first. I want to rest for a while."

After saying that, before Yao Fangqin could react, he lay down and stopped watching TV.

"What's wrong with you, child?" Yao Fang asked curiously, but seeing that Yu Ziling had already closed her eyes, she was afraid of disturbing her recovery process, so she quickly said, "Then you should rest well. If you need anything, ask your Aunt Fang to do it. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she slung her bag over her shoulder and left the ward.

As soon as she left, Yu Ziling threw off the covers and got out of bed, looking at Qin Fangfang, who had been silent after greeting her, with a cold smile. "Aunt Fang? It seems you're getting along quite well with my mother."

"Ziling, what are you saying?" Qin Fangfang's reserved expression disappeared, replaced by the selfishness and greed that Yu Ziling was familiar with. "I am your mother. How can you call another woman 'Mom' so casually?"

She seems to have lost a lot of weight recently; her cheeks are sunken, making her look even more mean and terrifying.

"You're my mother?" Yu Ziling looked at her sarcastically. "Then do you even consider me your daughter?"

Qin Fangfang immediately said, "Of course you are my daughter, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to see you as soon as I heard you were sick."

"You came to see me?" Yu Ziling sneered. "Did you come to see me or to ask me for money again?"

Qin Fangfang looked embarrassed by what she said, and clutched the hem of her clothes, saying, "Of course I came to see you. You are my daughter. How could I not be worried when you are sick?"

"Really?" Yu Ziling looked at her in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that Qin Fangfang would actually turn over a new leaf.

"Of course it's true." Qin Fangfang nodded vigorously.

Seeing her like this, Yu Ziling didn't dislike her as much anymore.

Perhaps it was her sick appearance that triggered Qin Fangfang's maternal instincts, which is why she pretended to be a caregiver to take care of herself.

Thinking this, Yu Ziling's expression softened considerably. "Since that's the case, then you can stay."

"Okay. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."

After Qin Fangfang finished speaking, she added, "Ziling, actually, Mom has something very important to discuss with you this time."

"What is it?" Yu Ziling frowned immediately. "You're out of money again, aren't you? Let me tell you, don't even think about it this time."

She's currently hospitalized and unemployed, so where will she get the money?

"Of course not." Qin Fangfang shook her head, but then put on a weak face and said, "Ziling, Mom is sick."

"Get ill?"

Yu Ziling then noticed her strange behavior. The weather was still very hot, but Qin Fangfang had put on a winter coat in advance, and her forehead was constantly sweating, looking like she was in great pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Ziling looked at her suspiciously. "You're not pretending to be sick to scam me out of my money, are you?"

"Ziling, how could you say that to me? I'm still your mother. If I hadn't given you to Yao Fangqin to raise back then, how could you have the luxurious life you have now?"
