In the afternoon, many of his relatives arrived, including his aunts and uncles from both the maternal and paternal side of his family and one cousin.
They had all come to visit Li Qin after her surgery.
Mo Yixuan was then forced to rein in all the rage and pain he was feeling.
As the saying went, one’s dirty laundry shouldn’t be aired in public. He didn’t want anyone to know that the child wasn’t his biological son.
This was the greatest insult of his life.
“Yixuan, what happened to your mother? Why was there a recurrence of her heart problem? Wasn’t she in a good condition previously?”
Li Yunsheng pulled his nephew to a corner and asked anxiously.
Mo Yixuan shook his head and avoided his uncle’s anxious gaze.
No one knew how terrible he felt right now – he felt as though his heart was bleeding.
“I don’t know either, uncle…” He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, hiding all the rage and pain that was reflected in his eyes.
“Sigh…”
Li Yunsheng heaved a sigh, then entered the ward once more.
After a while, Yang Mingyu arrived as well and he brought many delicious foods along with him along with a piece of bad news.
“Yixuan, Wang Jun called earlier to say that he couldn’t discover Xia Yuwei’s whereabouts. Her phone’s GPS showed that she was at the apartment she was renting but her apartment’s CCTV showed that she hadn’t returned since leaving five days ago.”
Yang Mingyu said helplessly and he could only speak frankly. He knew that the news the child was not his friend’s biological son had come as a huge shock to his friend, especially since his mother’s heart problem had also reoccured because of this news
He didn’t dare imagine how he would react if he was in his friend’s shoes and wondered if he might go crazy if it were him.
Mo Yixuan’s only reaction was to close his eyes tightly but his slender fingers balled into fists once more and the veins on his arms popped out.
Suddenly, he smashed his fist heavily against the wall so hard that it was as if he wanted to smash a hole through the wall.
“Yixuan, please calm down,” Yang Mingyu pulled his hand away, afraid that his friend would do something rash in his anger.

Li Qin was finally out of critical condition on the fifth day but unfortunately, she suffered from serious aftereffects of her heart disease and her limbs were numb with partial paralysis and she lost some of her ability to look after herself.
She laid on the hospital bed and panted heavily. Each time she breathed, her heavy breathing was audible and her eyes were wide opened but her gaze never left the ceiling. Her eyes were dull and emotionless.
She had still been full of life only a few days ago but now she was practically a disabled patient. She would no longer have the strength to scold or beat others, and she would even have to rely on others to lead a normal life.
Her mind had always been clear and she knew everything that had transpired. She knew that her beloved Mo Ye was not her biological grandson and knew that she had almost died, and that her son secretly shed tears by her bedside several times.
All this had happened because Xia Yuwei married into their Mo family.
She had never suspected that the child was not Yixuan’s biological son even though he didn’t resemble her son, but now the truth was like a slap in her face.
Li Qin suddenly blinked her eyes and her tears broke out of their confines to fall from the corners of her eyes and streaked down her face that was no longer young.
She felt as though she had never once done anything that was terrible in the eyes of God and although she might act a little more arrogant because they were rich and looked down on many other people, she had never committed a crime, so why did the Heavens allow such immense pain and insult to befall their family?
