In the recovery room, the middle-aged woman from Shanghai slowly opened her eyes.

The ceiling was pure white, and so were the bed sheets. The place looked like one of those scenes in a science fiction movie, where aliens dissected human beings, when the world had ended, or when serial killers tortured their subjects. Of course, only adolescents who believed themselves to have superpowers or silly youngsters who liked to watch horror movies would think of it that way.

The brains of patients who just woke up after anesthesia could not function at their full capacity. The first thought that came into the middle-aged woman's mind was the biggest fear in her life. 'Did a thief steal everything in my house?'

"Hubby… Hubby!" the middle-aged woman started shouting, and she tried to sit up.

"Aunty, you're not allowed to sit up after regional anesthesia." The anesthetist immediately went forward and held the middle-aged woman down.
