Madam Liu's sudden illness cast a pall over the Ye residence. Her complexion turned pale and wan, leaving the family doctor baffled by her condition.
At dinner, Rong Qi cast concerned glances at Madam Liu. Madam Liu's face was alarmingly sallow, her listlessness so profound that she hardly registered the conversation. Repeating words several times barely garnered her attention.

Despite her absence, Madam Liu's condition showed no signs of recovery. Rong Qi occasionally caught glimpses of her, noting her vacant gaze, devoid of any spirit.
Rong Qi furrowed her brow in thought. If Madam Liu was feigning illness, her act was convincingly distressing. However, given her current pregnancy and the recent bizarre events, Mrs. Hong had restricted her from wandering and kept a vigilant eye on her.
