Bei Sangyun had no appetite these days.
The meal that Grandma Bei and Maid Ye Zhai had prepared looked delicious, but Bei Sangyun couldn't taste anything at all. When she requested porridge at dinner, both women immediately knew—her illness had relapsed again.
In the past four years, Bei Sangyun's illness had relapsed frequently. However, it remained within a tolerable range, usually resulting in a temporary loss of taste for a few days. The longest episode had lasted two weeks, but even then, she eventually recovered.
This was a significant improvement compared to her previous life. If events followed the same course as before, she would not only lose her sense of taste—her hands would begin to numb, and she'd experience paralysis for a day or two. Gradually, the period of her illness increased as time passed by, until she could no longer get up on her own. That incurable illness had driven her to madness, causing relentless pain both mentally and physically.
