Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

After visiting Old Madam Zeller, Wendy realized that Old Madam Zeller’s health was deteriorating. She leaned against the head
of the bed, her face sallow and haggard. Because of the pain, she would moan from time to time. “Ouch... Ouch...” It sounded
like she was tortured by the pain and could not help letting out screams. Looking at Old Madam Zeller, who was only a few years
older than her, suffering from illness, she could not help but say, “Zeller, we have to take the initiative to get treatment!”
Old Madam Zeller’s voice was very soft as it was difficult for her to speak. “Nobody... Can cure me... I’ve seen all the doctors,
but they can’t treat me Unless I find Joseph. I’ve given up. Now... I’m just waiting for time to pass. I’ll live day by day. I don’t
mind... If I die one day. It’s better to die.” All these years, her three sons had been looking for Joseph. However, more than ten
years had passed, and there had been no news of him.
Old Madam Zeller was diagnosed with several kinds of illnesses. The most serious one was rheumatoid arthritis. It hurt all year
round. Sometimes, when the pain was too intense, she wanted to bang her head against the wall and die.
This was a problem with the immune system. It was equivalent to having problems all over the body. Even young people could
not be treated after contracting this illness. Older people’s immunity was even worse, making it even more difficult to heal.
She would also feel more pain due to the changes in the weather. In the past twenty years, she had really been tortured.
Although she had been receiving treatment, her condition could not be controlled and was getting worse. Her son had no choice
but to prescribe her forbidden medicine to relieve the pain.
However, the side effects of the medicine were huge, so she only took one pill a day. Her pain would be alleviated after she took
the medicine, but it would return once the effect wore off. Her son often looked at her with heartache, but he had no choice. He
also found a famous doctor from Jadeborough to take a look at her. Seeing that she was in so much pain, the doctor suggested
she get a corticosteroid injection.
However, it would be even more impossible to cure her illness after taking the injection. Moreover, a corticosteroid injection could
only help ease the pain for a short period of time, and the after-effects could be worse later on. “Master Quigley’s disciple has
returned to the country. Let’s invite him to take a look at you.” Wendy looked at Old Madam Zeller and said with heartache.
“Yes, he said he’ll be able to make time tomorrow and come to see me. I have no choice. I can’t go anywhere in this state. I can
only trouble him...” For some reason, the calm face Annalise had whenever she performed acupuncture flashed in Wendy’s
mind. A question naturally popped up in her mind. She wondered if Annalise’s acupuncture would be able to ease the situation.
Acupuncture was the most effective way to cure Rheumatoid arthritis.

Unfortunately, traditional medicine practitioners gradually declined in Chanaea. These days, people preferred modern medicine,
so it was difficult for traditional medicine practitioners to survive. There were fewer and fewer people who knew acupuncture.
She said, “Zeller, we must live well and receive treatment. We have to have hope in our hearts. I almost died a few days ago and
was rescued by Master Quigley’s disciple. We have to have confidence in him.” Old Madam Zeller forced a smile. She was really
in pain. Sometimes, she wished she could secretly self-poison herself, but it was inconvenient for her to move around. Hence,
she had no chance to take her medicines.
Once, the servant forgot to take the plate and the spoon away after feeding her traditional medicine. She finally found an
opportunity. She smashed the plate and cut her wrist with the broken glasses.
She was really determined to end everything. With a hard stab, the blood on her hand surged out crazily. Unfortunately, the noise
was too loud. When the servant heard the commotion, she rushed in and sent her to the hospital immediately before informing
her children.
The children blamed themselves and felt terrible, making her feel utterly embarrassed. Hence, she suffered like this every day.
“Gosh... Hah...” She groaned in pain. Old Madam Zeller started to feel sleepy and slowly closed her eyes.
The servant said to Wendy awkwardly, “Madam Hiller, Madam Zeller is not as energetic as she used to be. Her days and nights
are reversed, and she sleeps irregularly. She sleeps whenever she can. She’s asleep now and might not be able to talk to you.
I’m really sorry.”
Wendy stood up and said, “Hah, I’m sorry for disturbing her for so long. Take good care of her. Help me bid her goodbye when
she wakes up. I’ll go back first. I’ll come and see her next time.” “Okay,” the servant immediately replied respectfully. Wendy
sighed and went to the Parks’ residence.
If she wanted acupuncture, she would find Annalise to do it for her. She would also stay in the Parks” residence for a few days.
She would go back after Gwen returned. At the Hiller’s residence. Gwen accompanied Jane until dinner, but Jane’s grandmother
still did not return. Gwen subconsciously frowned. Jane, is your grandmother not coming home tonight?”
“No, she went to visit Old Madam Zeller. In the past, she would be back in two hours at most. Old Madam Zeller’s health isn’t
good, and it’s difficult for her to speak. My grandma won’t stay for long,” Jane said.
“Then why isn’t she back yet?” “Maybe they’re keeping her for dinner.” “I see.” Gwen smiled. “Tomorrow, Jonathan will treat Old
Madam Zeller.” Jane Hiller opened the news portal and saw the headlines. The huge headline said Jonathan would challenge

Old Madam Zeller’s chronic illness.
“Tsk, he’s trying to woo the people again.” Jane snorted. Initially, she had a very good impression of Jonathan and respected him
very much. After all, he was Master Quigley’s disciple! Ever since she found out that Jonathan took good care of Annalise, she
hated Jonathan.
Gwen immediately came over to take a look. When she saw that there was rheumatoid arthritis written on the news, she smiled
and said, “This illness is not difficult to treat. Doctors overseas have long found a cure.” Jane’s eyes lit up. “Gwen, can you treat
it?” Gwen smiled. “Of course.” “That’s great. Why don’t we treat Old Madam Zeller?” Jane immediately suggested with bright
eyes. If Gwen could treat Old Madam Zeller, she could directly take Jonathan’s credit and embarrass him.
“But their family has an appointment with Jonathan,” Gwen said. “It’s alright. We’ll go over tonight to treat Old Madam Zeller,
Jane said. “But I don’t even know anyone from the Zeller family,” Gwen said. “It’s alright, I know him. Come, let’s go to the Zeller
family now. Gwen, are you hungry? Why don’t we go after dinner?” Jane asked. “Let’s go now. It’s more important to treat the
patient,” Gwen answered.
If she could cure Old Madam Zeller before Jonathan, she would become famous without waiting to attend the Medical
Conference. “Alright, let’s go.” Jane immediately drove to the Zemer family with Gwen. Jane was very familiar with the Zeller
family because she was Wendy’s granddaughter.
The Zeller family’s old butler and the servants who had been working for a long time all knew her. They smiled and greeted her.
“Miss Hiller, you’re here. You must be here to see Old Madam Zeller! Come in, come in. Take a seat first. Come, have some tea!
Have you eaten?”
