1074 Abrupt Change 3

Xi Xiaye looked at how worried Mu Yinan was. It was as if he could not find his way home!

It was exactly the same as how Shen Yue had looked when Liang Fuhua left them. Xi Xiaye became even more uneasy now as she looked anxiously at Mu Yuchen while the latter stared at the tightly shut operating theatre doors with a silent expression.

Mu Tangchuan practically rushed over as quickly as he could when Xi Xiaye called. He had been in a meeting at the provincial government department office. “How’s your grandmother now? What did the doctor say?” he asked worriedly as he stopped by Mu Yuchen’s side.

“She’s still inside right now. She probably overheard my conversation with Grandfather. Otherwise…” Mu Yuchen replied gloomily.

Mu Tangchuan’s brows furrowed into a knot as he looked worriedly at the operating theatre. He lifted a hand to pat Mu Yuchen on the shoulders. “Don’t think so much about it. Have a seat first. Your grandmother’s always been quite healthy, so she’ll be fine.”

“Your mother’s recently been having headaches and palpitations. She’s been unwell, but she was afraid that you’d all be worried, so she didn’t tell you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have returned to the old residence. She’s been busy going in and out recently as well. I’ve been worried that her body wouldn’t be able to take it. I was planning to bring her for a checkup at the hospital over the weekend,” Mu Yinan said regretfully.

“Doesn’t Dr. Zhong do health checkups for the both of you from time to time?” Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he turned to look at Mu Yinan.

“Your grandmother thought it was troublesome, so I’ve been the only one doing it the past few times. She said that she was tougher than me, so there was no need to get checked. You know how your grandmother’s temper is. She sticks to her word.”

Mu Yinan began to feel like this was his fault, and he kept praying for everything to be fine.

…

Time slowly pa.s.sed as everyone was terribly anxious. Xi Xiaye’s heart also wrenched bit by bit during this long wait. Gradually, the corridor was engulfed in a gloomy haze. Even Li Si and the other bodyguards who waited on the side looked tense as they felt very uneasy.

Some time had pa.s.sed when the lights outside the operating theatre finally dimmed and the doors quickly opened. When the doctor walked out, Mu Yuchen went up to him right away.

“How’s my grandmother?” His deep voice contained a thick uneasiness.

At this moment, the doctor slowly took his mask off and his expression looked solemn as he looked at everyone who surrounded him. He shook his head helplessly. “The patient had a sudden heart attack. She was sent in too late. I’m sorry. We’ve done our best…”

Before he could finish, Mu Yuchen shoved the doctor aside as he rushed in!

“What did you say? What did you say? What do you mean you’ve done your best? Ah Hui…”

“Father! Father!”

Mu Tangchuan watched as Mu Yinan’s body fell limp. He quickly held him up while the doctor quickly went up to him too.

Xi Xiaye was stupefied and she struggled for a while before she slowly came back to her senses. She looked at them with a pale expression before she rushed into the operating theatre too.

The nurse was about to cover w.a.n.g Hui’s body with a white cloth, but Mu Yuchen rushed in and stopped her. w.a.n.g Hui had already lost all signs of vitality on the operating theatre table. The blood was gone from her face and even her remaining warmth was gradually turning cold.

Mu Yuchen knelt down on one knee and held w.a.n.g Hui’s hand, clearly feeling her warmth fading. “Grandmother, wake up!”

As he held onto her limp hand tightly, his soft and raspy voice was mixed with thick sadness. Xi Xiaye watched him helplessly. In the next instant, large drops of tears fell, and she quickly reached up to cover her face as she silently knelt down next to Mu Yuchen and put her hand gently on his.

That was incredibly sudden!

She was clearly just fine, but now she was gone!

Mu Yuchen shut his eyes quietly and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, Xi Xiaye could clearly see the redness through his tears, but she did not know what she could do right now and how to console him. Therefore, she just silently held his hand that gripped w.a.n.g Hui’s tightly.

…

From the outside, there was suddenly the paster of panicked footsteps. In her daze, Xi Xiaye seemed to hear Mu Lingshi and Zhuang Shurong’s voices. They sobbed so heart-wrenchingly that they seemed to have lost their voices.

After a while, they rushed in too.

“Grandmother!”

“Mother!”

A few figures came in, and with just a single look at the lifeless w.a.n.g Hui, their eyes turned red. Mu Lingshi rushed up, choked with sobs.

Mu Yuchen slowly let go of w.a.n.g Hui’s hands and stood up. He turned to look at Mu Yinan and the rest wordlessly. With his head lowered, he walked out silently.

“Master—” At the entrance, when he saw Mu Yuchen come out, Li Si’s eyes immediately welled up as he walked up to him. “Elder Madam…”

Mu Yuchen’s expression had darkened while his depth-filled eyes concealed and controlled his pain and sadness. He walked to a bench and slumped onto it weakly as he closed his eyes and fell silent for a long while. After that, his raspy voice came through. “She’s gone.”

“Master…” Li Si’s eyes filled with even more tears. “I don’t believe that Elder Madam would have gone just like that!”

There was a heaviness in the air and they could barely breathe. After Mu Yuchen took in a few deep breaths, he managed to quell the immense pain in his chest and found a sliver of rationality as he spoke raspily, “Suppress this piece of news. Don’t let the news of Grandmother’s pa.s.sing get out first. Also, arrange for Grandmother’s funeral. Get someone to watch things on Qi Feng’s end. Be wary of them as they might take advantage of the situation to cause chaos.”

When Li Si heard Mu Yuchen’s hoa.r.s.e voice, he could not help but ask in concern, “Master, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Quickly get it done. Tell Su Chen and Zhou Zimo, but warn them not to make it known to the public.”

Mu Yuchen forced himself to settle everything with whatever strength that was left in him.

“Yes, Master! I’ll go get it done right away. My heartfelt condolences. Elder Madam will reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss soon, Master. Please don’t be too sad!”

Mu Yuchen nodded numbly.

After a while, Mu Lingshi and Zhuang Shurong were teary as they were guided out. Mu Tangchuan’s eyes were red with tears too. Clearly, they were all in grief.

“Ah Chen…”

“Everyone, don’t be too sad. I’ve already arranged for Grandmother’s funeral. Father, Mother, take good care of Grandfather.”
