Chapter 4 She smells like death Edited

Su Lin stood up and lightly stretched out her neck muscles. Staying in the same position and browsing the internet all day had almost given her a backache.
What a nuisance! It has literally been thousands of years since she had to worry about trivial matters like this.
She sighed and decided to turn in early for the night. With her current body and state, she definitely needed regular sleep and nutrition to stay healthy and fit.
As she prepared to take a long hot shower, Su Lin loosened her robes and lazily stood in front of the huge full-sized bedroom mirror.
An unfamiliar frail thin body stared back at her.
She didn't have a breathtakingly beautiful face or a perfectly curved body, but it wasn't too bad either. She did have a pleasant kind look.
"Hmmm... This will do." She satisfactorily nodded.
Her long jet black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. The silky smooth hair looked lifeless and dull from lack of any sort of grooming.
The previous Su Lin had apparently lived a very simple and invisible life.
From the looks of it, she had absolutely not cared about looking beautiful or even presentable. All she had in the bathroom was a bar of soap and some random towels.
"Fuck! Why am I alone living in poverty in this big rich house??!!" Su Lin frowned.
The previous woman might not have cared about her appearance as much, but Alzeira's character was a bit different.
Someone had once asked her, "Why are you working this hard, day and night, spending all your resources to improve your pill formation talent? Don't you want to cultivate first?"
Alzeira simply replied, as if it was a matter of fact, "Nobody else is willing to research on a pill to make my skin softer. So I decided to make one myself."
And now, looking at Su Lin's simple lifestyle and negligence of personal maintenance, her heart was aching.
"Aww... my poor and mistreated host body... "
Closing the shower, she stepped out with water dripping on the bathroom floor mat. She slowly dried herself and put on some simple clean clothes.
She then downed a glass of water and turned in for the night. A few seconds later, she was already fast asleep from the tiredness.
But suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and woke up.
Blarghhh... Blarghhh...
Su Lin coughed loudly and began retching with an uncontrollable urge. She vomited all the food she had eaten before and a good amount of blood.
Before she could understand what was going on, her head was spinning. She felt extremely dizzy and fainted, dropping on the floor with a thud.
Luckily she had also knocked over the empty glass on her nightstand during the fall which caused a loud noise.
The noise alerted the people in the house and one of the housekeepers knocked on the door to check for a response.
He immediately pushed open the door with force and saw the young mistress lying on the floor in a puddle of her own vomit and blood.
The alarmed man quickly acted and called for the emergency ambulance.
Noticing all the ruckus in the house, mama Meng walked out of her room and watched the emergency medical technicians carry Su Lin out of the house.
Without even the slightest hint of concern for her family member, she commented apathetically, "Tch Tch... She smells like death."
"Jing, you go upstairs and clean her room thoroughly. I don't want that smell to linger in the house."
Shi Meng also arrived at the scene and watched the ambulance drive away with Su Lin. His impassive face showed no emotions.
He casually instructed the head butler to get her admitted to the hospital.
"Hmm... According to her doctor's latest report, she only has 2 more weeks to survive. It's best if she is admitted to the hospital for any emergency purposes. You take care of that."
The head butler nodded loyally and immediately left for the hospital.
Dusting their hands, the mother and son pair acted as if nothing had happened and walked back inside.
"Child, drink some milk before you go back. I already have it warmed up", Mama Meng patted Shi Meng's shoulder.
Shi Meng obediently nodded, with his attention already back on the office reports "Yes, mom."
And soon, everybody went back to their business as usual as if nothing had happened.
