Chapter 693: 693, seems to have a bit of a fever.
Waking up the next day, Mo Weiyi’s head was foggy, as if jarred by a nightmare.
She barely made an attempt to sit upright before collapsing back onto the bed.
Wrapping herself tightly in a thin quilt, she just lay there, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom.
After a while, the sound finally stopped, and the tall, aloof man emerged.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Yebai placed his well-defined hand on her forehead to feel her temperature.
As expected.
“Seems like you have a bit of a fever.”
Instantly, Mo Weiyi knitted her delicate face in frustration.
No wonder she felt uncomfortable all over.
She asked, “Xiaobai, what time is it?”
Xiao Yebai glanced at the time. “Nine twenty.”
Nine twenty already?
Mo Weiyi quickly said, “I want to visit grandpa in hospital.”
“I just spoke to Uncle Shi on the phone, he said grandpa woke up this morning in good spirits and even had a bowl of millet porridge. It should be nothing serious.”
“Still, I want to see him.” Mo Weiyi reaffirmed.
Xiao Yebai looked at her.
Her face was reddened, possibly due to her fever, and she had hardly any energy.
Her thin lips pressed slightly together, he said, “First, take some antipyretics.”
“Okay.” Mo Weiyi immediately agreed.
Xiao Yebai quickly got up and left, returning shortly with a glass of water and two small white pills in his hand.
Mo Weiyi gulped down the medicine with his help, took a sip of water, got up and put on some comfortable loose clothes, then went to the bathroom for a quick wash.
When she returned to the bedroom and saw the handsome man before the mirror, she couldn’t resist walking over and embracing him from behind.
Having a fever really felt awful, sapping all her strength leaving her feeling dazed.
“I feel sleepy…”
Fastening the buttons on his shirt, Xiao Yebai looked down at the woman clinging to him. He gently stroked her long, soft hair with his well-defined fingers, his voice was soft and low, “The medicine I gave you is supposed to make you sleepy.”
Mo Weiyi just groaned in response. No wonder she felt so heavy-eyed.
“How about going to the hospital this afternoon, if you can’t hold on?”
Mo Weiyi shook her head, “I’d rather visit the hospital first and come back for a sleep.”
Finishing her phrase, she raised her head, propped her chin on his shoulder, her cat-like eyes twinkling with a mischievous smile, “In any case, you’re with me. If I happen to fall asleep in a bit, remember to carry your wife back home for bed!”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
It was slightly overcast in Nancheng today, so there was no sun and the temperature was rather cool.
After breakfast, the pair set off for the hospital.
Rong An usually went back to the old house on weekends, so unless his service was required, Xiao Yebai would be the one to drive. Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, looking lifeless.
She didn’t even put any makeup on today, just applying lipsticks to make her face look better.
Upon reaching the hospital, they bought a bouquet of flowers and directly headed to Old Mr. Mo’s ward.
By coincidence, the ward was on the same floor as Shi Huan’s room, both were top-ranking VIP rooms.
The corridor was very quiet, with only a few nurses bustling about.
Two bodyguards stood at the entrance of Old Mr. Mo’s room. Seeing Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi approaching, they greeted, “Princess, young master Xiao.”
Though Mo Weiyi nodded in recognition, she was stopped as she attempted to go inside.
“I’m sorry, Princess, young master Xiao, you can’t go in there right now.”
Mo Weiyi asked, “Why not?”
Xiao Yebai also frowned.
After exchanging a glance with each other, one bodyguard said, “Mr. Mo and Ms. Xu are discussing something inside.”
“My dad and my aunt?” Mo Weiyi’s pretty brows furrowed slightly, “So what? Why can’t Xiaobai and I go in?”
The bodyguard looked conflicted and said, “It’s Mr. Mo’s order, he said that no one was allowed in, anyone.”
Upon hearing this, while Xiao Yebai’s face was still expressionless, Mo Weiyi could no longer hold in her anger. Her pretty face turned cold instantly and her voice became furious, “What does that mean? My grandfather is in the hospital and I, his own granddaughter, am not allowed to see him?”
Having already worried about not seeing her grandpa the previous night and then having nightmares, she dragged her feverish body to visit him today only to be told she wasn’t allowed to see him. This was beyond frustrating.
Without another word, she reached out to push the door open.
The two bodyguards were flustered but didn’t dare act against the Little Princess of the Mo Family. They desperately tried to block and appease her.
“Princess, please don’t put us in this difficult position.”
“It truly is the master’s order, we couldn’t have done otherwise.”
“Princess…”
The commotion quickly reached the ward, and soon after the sound of footsteps, the ward door was opened.
Mo Yaoxiong, leaning on his walking stick, came out.
“What’s going on?”
The two bodyguards hastily lowered their heads.
Mo Weiyi asked angrily, “Dad, what are you and Auntie doing in there? Why won’t they let me in to see Grandpa?”
Mo Yaoxiong frowned deeply and immediately scolded the bodyguards, “You bastards! How do you do your jobs?”
The bodyguards: “…”
“Alright, when I said I don’t want others to disturb us, I didn’t mean her. She can come in.” Mo Yaoxiong added.
Mo Weiyi glared at the two bodyguards and immediately went inside.
Upon entering the room, she immediately rushed to the bedside, “Grandpa, you’re okay, right?”
The old patriarch, half-sat in a hospital gown at the head of the bed, draped in a dark sweater, his aged face slightly pallid, but he seemed spirited.
Especially when he saw his beloved granddaughter, he broke into a happy smile, “Yiyi is here.”
Then he frowned immediately, “Why do you look so pale?”
Mo Weiyi sat down by the bed, her voice pitiful as she held the old man’s hand, “I was worrying about you last night and didn’t sleep when you took ill. I even have a little fever now.”
“Fever? Is it serious?”
“I’ve already taken some fever reducer.”
“Silly girl, your health matters most. I know you worry about me, but don’t worry. My health is quite good. I’m alright.” The old patriarch smiled warmly, “Have you eaten breakfast yet?”
“I have.”
“Grandpa,” Xiao Yebai also came over at this time and called out softly.
The old patriarch looked at him and frowned immediately, “How are you taking care of Yiyi? Are you neglecting her more and more? When Yiyi used to live in the old house, she was always well. Ever since getting married, it’s either injuries or minor illnesses…”
“Grandpa.” Mo Weiyi shook his hand, coquettishly interjected, “What does this have to do with Xiaobai? It’s my fault for being careless.”
The old patriarch took his eyes off him, “You foolish girl, always defending him!”
“No, really, I was just so worried about you last night and had a nightmare…”
The old patriarch sighed, “Then it’s my fault. Don’t worry, I’m alright now. I should be able to be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest.”
“Okay.” Mo Weiyi nodded.
Xiao Yebai took a seat on the sofa behind.
For a moment, the only sound in the ward was the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter.
After a few minutes, Xu Jing, who had been silently sitting in a corner, suddenly got up.
“Now that Yiyi and Yebai are here, I should be going. Sir, please take care of yourself…”
The old patriarch looked at her, “Hmm.”
Xu Jing looked at Mo Weiyi again, “Yiyi, Yebai, I’ll be leaving first.”
Mo Weiyi looked up, her catlike eyes glaring at her openly, “Are you here to apologize to my grandpa? If not for you last night, would my grandpa have fainted? And now you have the nerve to show up?”
Xu Jing frowned, “Yiyi, as I said, I was genuinely concerned about the old man’s health. If you’re still angry, then go ahead and keep hitting me.”
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi sprang up, “You think I won’t hit you?”
As she spoke, she was about to go over and hit her.
But after only two steps, her arm was grabbed.
Xiao Yebai advised in a low voice, “Please don’t quarrel in the ward.”
The patriarch on the side frowned deeply, “Yiyi, what happened last night has nothing to do with your Auntie.”
“Grandpa, stop covering for her. If she hadn’t come to bother you, how could you have fainted?”
“Sigh.” The patriarch sighed, “My body is not what it used to be, and I had a bit of alcohol last night. Your Auntie really didn’t play a big role in it.”
Mo Weiyi remained silent.
The old patriarch instructed, “Xu Jing, you should go home now.”
“Okay.” Xu Jing quickly stepped out.
Unknown to them, the patriarch instructed again, “Yaoxiong, arrange a driver to send Xu Jing home.”
Mo Weiyi immediately widened her eyes.
Once Xu Jing had left, she could not help but ask, “Grandpa, why are you still being so nice to Auntie?”
“I told you it has nothing to do with her.” The patriarch frowned, “Besides, no matter what, she’s your aunt and your elder. We’re all family. How can you resort to violence so easily?”
