“Mom…?”
Yuan impulsively yelled out to the woman as he approached her as soon as he noticed her laying in the bed.
“Hmmm?.. Yuan, are you there?” As the door to her room opened and a young man’s voice entered the room, Anna Grace Blank remarked that she instantly recognized the voice and wouldn’t mistake it for anybody else’s.
“I’m here—yes, Mom! Mom, how are you feeling?” Yuan spoke as he sat next to her on the bed, taking her hand in his, and beginning to tenderly massage it out of love for her.
“It’s really you, My sweetheart. I assumed you had experienced some sort of loss. Why, sweetheart, didn’t you visit me yesterday to talk? Do you realize how worried I was?” Whilst in his arms, she briefly sobbed. Guilt was the only thing she could think of. As his mother, she was responsible for taking care of him and providing for him in every way possible, but due to her illness, she was forced to spend the entire day lying on the bed and lacked the power to even lift her hands to her son’s face. She had given up on it because no one in this world can treat her sickness.
She still holds out hope that her disease will be cured someday so that she can stand by her kids and give them her whole heart.
‘Sorry mom, I’m afraid I can’t let you know that the old Yuan you knew had passed away.’ Yuan confessed in his heart, feeling somewhat bad about it.
“Mom! See, nothing has happened to me. At the town square yesterday, I was working on something crucial to our family. I’m sorry, Mom, and I love you!” With a smile on his face, Yuan spoke as he admired her soft, black, and white hair. Yet he secretly felt bad for making up what had happened to him yesterday.
“Mom! Little Yuan is speaking the truth; yesterday, he was quite busy working on a crucial task.” Lily, who was standing next to Yuan, echoed what her brother had said and agreed. She also didn’t want their sick mother to be under any more stress than she already was.
“Is that true, dear?… My dear, I am so proud of you.” She smiled very warmly at her son and wiped a small tear from her eyes, feeling happy that he had grown up and was now responsible enough to take care of his family. Although she was quite thrilled at the time, Lily felt bad for telling her mother a lie about Yuan; why wasn’t he able to visit his mother yesterday?
‘I vouch that I will quickly discover a remedy for mom’s condition!’ He makes a heartfelt promise to himself that he will heal his mother’s disease, and then all of a sudden, a notion entered his mind.
I swear I will surely find a cure for mom’s illness soon enough!” he swears to himself in his heart that he will cure his mother’s illness, and suddenly a thought appeared in his head.
‘The system. Yes, surely the system would know what’s going on with my mom as it’s a very magical thing!’ Yuan thought about the possibility of the system knowing what’s the problem with his mother’s condition.
“Nora, hey! Can you examine my mother’s physique and let me know what the issue is…?” To locate any information that would help her recover from her condition, he questioned the system.
[Certainly, host! I’ll be finished in a minute, so kindly wait.] Yuan was enthusiastically answered by Nora, who then used her power to scan his mother’s body.
He simply hoped that there was a way to save his mother, even if it meant giving up his own life in the process because he didn’t want to become an orphan again.
Yuan had no idea who his parents were or even whether they were still alive while he was on Earth. He had no idea who they were; all he knew was that he had been discovered in a basket on the ground close to the orphanage’s entrance. He broke his pledge to a girl who was close to him and helped him in the orphanage in every way possible on top of everything else. Although she tended to be obstinate and unpleasant at times, she was still incredibly devoted and concerned about Yuan. He had previously died and been reincarnated in this new body, so he had to give up on his commitment to look for her when he was older.
When Nora responded, Yuan saw a glimmer of hope that his mother would be spared the pain she had been going through all these years.
[Host! What I’ve discovered will shock you! The marvel that is this!] Shortly, he heard Nora’s voice, bursting with enthusiasm, within his thoughts, confirming that she had discovered information regarding his mother’s condition.
Yuan lifted one of his eyebrows and inquired upon hearing Nora’s voice “What information about Mom did you learn? What did you discover, tell me. Can Mom’s condition be cured?” Although he was growing impatient, Yuan asked Nora right away.
[In response to your inquiry, Your Mother is not ill at all!] said Nora.
“What, exactly, would you label her current state of health if she weren’t ill? Inform me!” He was wondering why Nora had claimed that his mother wasn’t ill at all at this precise moment. How is it she can say that? What would you name her current state if she weren’t ill? What Nora said left him perplexed.
[Don’t be perplexed! You didn’t listen to me when I mentioned earlier that your mother is not ill; her condition is extremely unusual and only happens a few times in a billion years. It’s a wonder; I never imagined finding something so amazing in this tiny world.]
“Tsk. Can you explain to me clearly what is happening with my mother, Nora? Everything here is above my comprehension! …..” Yuan was trying to determine the source of his mother’s condition objectively when the system said,
[Your mother doesn’t have any illnesses, as I previously stated; rather, her extraordinary body is to blame. She has a physical configuration known as the Twin Heart Soul Body, whose holder has two hearts and two souls in a single body as well as two personalities. She can also split herself into two different people before recombining into one. Because there are no cultivators on this planet and she lacks the skills to cultivate, her body is continuously in need of enough qi to keep it operating properly. This world doesn’t have even one cultivator still alive, which is unfortunate.] Clarified Nora.
“Now that I think about it, I do remember her acting like a different person many times in the past… so that’s the explanation for it, huh?” Yuan spoke after realizing the reason for his mother’s personality change. There is still one issue to be resolved: how can we heal her?
“Now that we know what caused her illness, shouldn’t you advise me how to treat her, am I right?” Yuan said as he grew impatient to find a remedy for her.
[Host! It’s extremely easy; all you have to do is instruct and provide her with cultivation methods to practice, and she will return to normal in less than a day. stated Nora.
“It sounds plausible, but. Was there something I missed? ..” Disbelief! If he was hearing things or not, Yuan questioned in a shaking voice.
[Yes, host! If she begins her cultivation, she will be fine, I can tell you. But, she is now in too poor of a condition to cultivate; you must first purchase a healing medication from the system shop, which is above middle grade. This will enable her to begin cultivating once her body has fully healed from its injuries.] Once more, Nora reaffirmed it.
He had a strangely relieved expression on his face after hearing Nora confirm it as if he had won back his most prized possession.
“How are you doing, little brother? What makes you act odd right now?” Lily questioned as she observed her little brother grinning inconsolably; she became concerned because he had been harmed the day before.
He unintentionally blurted out in front of his mother and sister, “It’s nothing, I just discovered a way to cure Mom of her disease.”
It’s not funny to fool about with something like this, little brother.
“Are you sure, son? Did you actually locate a treatment? Mama is confident you’ll one day discover a treatment for me!” Unlike his sister, his mother trusted her son’s word and was confident that he wouldn’t joke about such a serious situation.
“I did discover a treatment, and I’m not joking!” Yuan spoke while looking at each of them with a very serious gaze. .𝘯𝘵
“Brother, is that really the case? Really, you can heal Mom?” He wasn’t joking, she could tell by the serious expression he was making, so Lily said as she observed him.

He took out the healing tablet in his hand after numerous pop-ups from the system verified that he had bought and finished the job assigned by the system.
“Mom, taking this medication will enable your body to function at its best. But this is just a stopgap measure; after that, I’ll give you something that will completely heal you!” Yuan stated while displaying a pill from a bottle. They could smell a lovely, floral scent when he took the pill, which was very aromatic.
As Anna opened her mouth to swallow the medication, she remarked, “I have tried several potions before, sweetheart, and none of them worked. But I have never seen this kind of medicine before, so let me try and hope it will work even though it’s just a temporary remedy. Since his mother was unable to move her body, someone needed to feed her, so Yuan took the tablet and placed it in her mouth for her to swallow.
Glup!
She feels her body beginning to heat up as soon as she consumes the tablet, and soon after that, vapor begins to escape from her body as a result of the heat. Her thin figure was restored to its previous shape and could be seen by everyone soon after her pale skin started to rejuvenate. Her thin physique soon vanished from view, replaced by a very attractive body with long legs and an exquisite curve resembling a goddess of beauty. Her face was now radiant and really attractive. As soon as the procedure is through, she touches her face and starts moving her hands and legs a little bit like an ecstatic child, nearly forgetting what it feels like to move them.
“Is this a dream? …or am I delusional?” Anna questioned, her limbs finally free after such a long time.
“Mom!
This is a reality rather than a fantasy. Mom, you’re really recovered! I’m really pleased for you, mom.” Lily said while crying uncontrollably from being overcome by her feelings. This is a tear of delight rather than one of grief. Her mother’s recovery from her illness made today the happiest day ever for her.
“Not a dream? I guess that means I…” She gave her son a bear embrace and sobbed uncontrollably in his chest; she had always wanted to touch him but had been unable to do so because of her illness. Nevertheless, despite all the odds, she was able to hug her son by herself. She hugged him as if he were about to flee from her. Instead of being bothered by her, Yian hugged her and adored her soft hair, which was now even softer than before. Soon, Lily into the hug as well because she couldn’t bear to be left alone.
