After Ye Zhuo left the house, Chen Qiaoye immediately ordered her servant to buy the herbs listed on the prescription.

She then called up her mother-in-law, Li Wenru, to tell her the good news.

Li Wenru immediately rushed over to the house upon hearing about the matter. "Qiaoye, can Tao Tao really be cured? Where's the doctor? I want to meet her!"

There was also Li Wenru's niece, Li Qingyue, who came with Li Wenru.

Li Qingyue's parents passed away when she was young, so she was raised by Li Wenru. It was a coincidence that Li Wen Ru and her husband, Yi Xuezheng, did not have a daughter; so, they treated Li Qingyue as their biological daughter over the years.

Chen Qiaoye replied, "Ms. Ye has already left. However, she will be back again in one week."

Li Wenru said, "Is Ms. Ye really confident that she can cure Tao Tao?" After consulting so many doctors without any fruit, Li Wenru was very anxious and wondered if the girl could solve their problem.

Then, Chen Qiaoye ordered the servant to bring over a glass jar.

"Please take a look at this."

The glass jar in sight was the color of blood, and she could see the thread-like transparent creatures squirming inside.

Upon seeing that, Li Qingyue was stunned for a moment. A wisp of radiance flashed past her eyes and vanished as soon as it appeared. Soon afterward, she grabbed Chen Qiaoye's hand tightly and said in fear, "Cousin! What is that!? It looks terrifying!"

Li Wenru was startled as well. She immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.

Chen Qiaoye answered, "This is the parasite inside Yi Tao's body. Frankly, we have been mistaken all this time. Yi Tao isn't ill at all, but he has contracted a parasite. Ms. Ye said that the parasite is especially cunning and cannot be detected using ordinary medical equipment."

Li Qingyue narrowed her eyes with a profound look in her gaze. She wondered where Ms. Ye came from.

Meanwhile, Li Wenru said incredulously, "So you're saying that these worms came from Tao Tao's body?"

Chen Qiaoye nodded.

Just like that, Li Wenru's eyes were filled with terror.

She found the sight of these worms to be terrifying and could not imagine how much her son had been suffering.

Noticing Li Wenru's reaction, Chen Qiaoye hastily said, "Mom, there's no need for you to worry too much. Now that we have found the cause of the illness, Ms. Ye will certainly be able to figure out a way to cure Yi Tao."

Li Qingyue consoled Li Wenru as well. "She is right. There's no need for you to worry too much, aunt. Cousin Yi Tao will certainly recover."

Upon returning to the house, Ye Zhuo turned on her phone and deleted her old WeChat ID as well as her other social media accounts. Then, she signed up for new accounts again. Later, she went to work in the evening.

Li Boyang sat by the bar to work on his homework as usual. He took the initiative to greet Ye Zhuo upon noticing her arrival. "Hey, you're here."

"Mmhmm." Ye Zhuo nodded.

Soon, Li Boyang noticed the phone in Ye Zhuo's hand, so he said, "Did you get a phone?"

"I just got it today."
