Chapter 5 A sickly body? Edited
After a few hours of rest, Su Lin's eyelids twitched in discomfort.
"Cough... Cough... mmm... The lights are really bright.. Where the hell am I? Cough cough.."
As she slowly gained consciousness, Su Lin was surprised to see a group of people crowding around her wearing ridiculous-looking clothes.
"Gently dear. You are in the hospital now. Don't worry."
"You just experienced some known symptoms of your cancer. Abdominal pain and vomiting are common issues."
"We have given you some sedatives and pain killers. You should take some rest."
Su Lin was bewildered. What are these guys talking about?
She tried to recollect some of the previous host's memories.
There was a whole boatload of information and she hadn't processed and assimilated everything.
But the human brain, even better than a computer, immediately reminded her of the specific memory she was searching for.
Apparently, the previous Su Lin was sick!
Moreover, not just any sickness. She was afflicted with a life-threatening sickness!
Su Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Couldn't she have transmigrated to a better body? Everything about this woman was sad and depressing.
She slowly sat up straight, with her legs folded in a cross-legged position.
She clasped her palms together in a prayer format. The palms touching each other helped streamline her focus.
Closing her eyes and calming her heart, she slowly breathed in and out... and in and out...
After several minutes, Su Lin's eyes flashed open with frustration.
The world being completely devoid of spiritual energy did not give her many options to swiftly treat her illness.
But, that didn't mean she was helpless.
After all, the innate strength of her soul, which was several thousand years old, was on an entirely different level compared to ordinary humans.
With her eyes closed and hands clasped, she consciously focussed her attention on each individual cell of her body.
She slowly moved her consciousness from one cell to another. Though this method took a lot of time, this was basically a child's play for her.
In Alzeira's original world, every single cultivator had to do this for establishing a foundation.
They needed to completely circulate spiritual energy through all the cells of their body for strengthening their body thoroughly.
All night, Su Lin was just sitting there on the bed, in that weird pose with her eyes closed.
The nurses who were on rounds kept checking up on her frequently, and noticed her odd behavior, but, didn't comment anything.
The first cross hospital was exclusively for the filthy rich 1% of the city. So, they didn't dare disturb anyone unless needed.
And Su Lin continued to sit there and meditate silently for the entire night and even the next morning.
A little past noon, out of nowhere, a woman suddenly barged into Su Lin's room. And more importantly, she dragged along with her a stupefied Shi Meng as well.
Su Lin was almost done with her meditative analysis without any interruption, and now she was irritated at this sudden intruder.
Well, it didn't matter much anyway, as she had already figured out every single problematic issue with her current body.
But, figuring out what is wrong was the easy part. And now comes the more difficult part, which is to cure all these irregularities.
While Su Lin was engrossed in planning her next few crucial steps, the 'concerned friend' Tang Yue barraged Shi Meng.
"Hey! Look.. See for yourself. See how sick she is! Is this how you treat your wife? No matter what is going on between you guys, you need to treat her at the least a little better!"
"Don't you have a heart even for your own wife ?!"
Shi Meng "..."
After getting dissuaded by the indifferent look on his face, Tang Yue focussed her attention on Su Lin.
"Why are you sitting like that Lin Lin? Are you okay? Is it hurting anywhere? Please tell me. One second, I will go bring the doctor for you."
Shi Meng "..."
Su Lin "..."
This lady was acting and directing a play, all on her own. Isn't all of this a bit much even for her? Su Lin sneered.
Oh yes. She remembered this one without even having to dig through her memories.
Tang Yue - the pretty, elegant, and kind-hearted daughter of the Hangzhou city's mayor, Tang Yan.
Apparently, she has been close friends with Shi Meng ever since they were kids.
Shi Meng had lost his father early on, and the mayor, Tang Yan, who was a family friend, stepped in to play a fatherly figure for him and always kept an eye out for him.
And, this was precisely why Shi Meng even bothered to tolerate her.
Else he would get an earful from his mother, followed by a lecture from the mayor Tang Yan.
