Almighty Daughter Runs The World

Chapter 41: Taking a Turn for the Better

The more Zhou Xiang thought about it, the more anxious she became.

If there was really something wrong with the medicine, then she would have become the murderer who had killed the old madam of the house.

If she had known earlier, she would not have let the old madam take the medicine last night.

What should she do now?

If something happened to the old madam, she would not be able to continue living anymore.

Zhou Xiang was so anxious that her eyes were red. She rushed upstairs and knocked on the door. "Mom! Mom! Are you inside?"

The door was locked from the inside. She knocked for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

Zhou Xiang did not have a key, so she had no choice but to get assistance from a few servants. She planned to use violence to break the door open.

Then, Zhou Xiang asked the butler to invite Doctor Lin over.

After all, she was one with experience in handling matters. Although she was very anxious, Zhou Xiang was still able to order everything in a calm and an orderly manner.

The door was very strongly built. The five servants spent a few minutes before the door was forced open.

Madam Cen was sleeping on the bed, her body covered by a thin blanket.

The room was very silent, and there was no telling if Madam Cen was still breathing.

Zhou Xiang was so worried that her heart almost stopped beating. "... Mom?"

When Madam Cen did not respond, Zhou Xiang raised her voice and called out again, "Mom?"

But Madam Cen still did not react.

Could it be...

Could Madam Cen have really...?

Zhou Xiang's eyes immediately turned red. She rushed over and hugged Madam Cen. "Mom! Mom! What happened to you? Mom!"

Madam Cen was in a deep slumber when she was suddenly awakened by a burst of crying.

She thought that it was still the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, the sun was shining through the window. It seemed that she had not seen such bright sunlight for a long time.

It felt like she a blind person who suddenly gained vision and saw light for the very first time.

Madam Cen was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at the crying Zhou Xiang with a blank expression. "Xiang Xiang, what's wrong?"

Zhou Xiang widened her eyes and looked at Madam Cen. "Ah! Mom! You're alright? I thought you..."

Madam Cen said in puzzlement, "What did you think was wrong with me?"

Zhou Xiang hugged Madam Cen excitedly. "Mom! You're alright! You're alright! I was scared to death just now!"

Seeing Zhou Xiang act this way, Madam Cen seemed to understand what was going on. She smiled and patted Zhou Xiang's back. "Silly child, what could have happened to me?"

Zhou Xiang sniffed. "You usually get up at six in the morning, but it's almost ten today! I knocked on the door outside, but you didn't respond. I thought, thought..."

"It's almost ten?" Madam Cen looked at Zhou Xiang in surprise.

Zhou Xiang nodded. "Yes."

Madam Cen didn't expect to sleep past nine. She only remembered that she fell fast asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow last night.
