Chapter 73  : I Want to Stay Too

As for her niece Yuan Keqing, Xu Mingzhen could only hope that she wouldn’t dig her own grave.

Xu Mingzhen called Tan Wenci again. It wasn’t convenient to talk about Wei Zhiqian on the phone, so she only told her husband that she and Mo Mo would be home a little late and that they shouldn’t worry.

If Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo hadn’t got back by dinner time, Tan Wenci could let Auntie Guo cook for him and the boys first.

When he found out that they were in a hospital, Tan Wenci repeatedly confirmed if Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo were in some sort of accident. Xu Mingzhen had to assure him a couple of times to put him at ease.

Everyone waited outside the operating room for a long time. By the time the door of the operating room opened, it was already dark outside.

Then, Wei Zhiqian was wheeled out.

“The operation was successful. He’ll need rest,” the doctor announced. “Now, it is necessary to prevent complications caused by the infection. The doctors and nurses will check on him every once in a while, but it is better to have someone watch over the patient who can immediately notify the nurse if he develops a fever. It is best if someone can stay overnight.”

“Okay, thank you, Doctor,” the Old Master said sincerely.

“No need to thank me. It’s my duty,” the doctor replied quickly. “Call me if you need anything.”

After the doctor left, Butler Zhou said, “I will stay and look after Young Master Wei.”

“I want to stay too,” Tan Mo said immediately.

She wanted to use healing power over Wei Zhiqian.

As long as she was there, Wei Zhiqian was unlikely to have a fever or infection. She could alleviate the pain from the wound immediately.

Of course, the sooner she could treat Wei Zhiqian, the better.

No matter what, she had to stay.

Wei Zhiqian would be safe this way.

“No,” the Old Madam disagreed. “Yes, you are still young, but that doesn’t mean that you should take your health for granted. How could you even think of staying overnight?”

“Yeah, we will be here.” Since Wei Zhiqian’s operation was successful, Xiao Menghan was relieved. Her smile was a little more relaxed. “You go back and rest well. You can come again tomorrow when your little uncle wakes up. ”

“I can get enough sleep even when I’m here, so let me stay. I won’t be at ease if Little Uncle is out of my sight. I won’t be up all night worrying about him. It’s better if I stay here.”

Tan Mo turned her head and squeezed Xu Mingzhen’s hand. “Mom, let me stay.”

Xu Mingzhen touched Tan Mo’s head and reminded her, “You can stay, but you have to help. Don’t trouble others.”

“I will definitely help.” She would be a great help!

“You have always been spoiled at home. Can you really take care of your little uncle?” Xu Mingzhen furrowed her brows.

Tan Mo didn’t need to do anything at home, let alone take care of others.

Tan Mo’s three brothers dote on her.

“I can.” Tan Mo raised her head and assured her mother, “I am young and in good spirits. It won’t affect me even if I don’t sleep all night.”

Despite this, Xu Mingzhen was distressed to let Tan Mo stay up all night to take care of Wei Zhiqian.

Considering how good Wei Zhiqian was to Tan Mo, she thought it would be okay if her daughter returned the favor.

Xu Mingzhen then decided, “Let Mo Mo stay. Zhiqian has been nothing but good to her. She can help keep an eye on him or stay by his side. That’s okay. After all, he is her little uncle.”

Since Xu Mingzhen agreed, the elders of the Wei family didn’t refuse.

Tan Mo’s affection for Wei Zhiqian comforted them.

Who would want to take care of an ungrateful person?

Sincere actions from both sides would be much more meaningful.

“Then tonight, we will have to trouble Mo Mo.” The Old Madam gently patted Tan Mo’s head.

How could this little girl be so good?

“As long as I can look at Little Uncle, it will be enough.” Tan Mo didn’t think that it was hard work.

Because the two elders were old, they couldn’t stay at the hospital overnight. Wei Mingwen and his wife encouraged them to rest at home.

“Grandpa, Grandma…” Even though it had been nine years, Tan Mo would still feel awkward calling Wei Mingwen and his wife as such. They were almost the same age as her parents. “…you can go home and rest too. Butler Zhou and I will stay here.”

Xiao Menghan smiled and shook his head. “As Zhiqian’s parents, we ought to be here. How inappropriate would that be if we let you do our part? That can’t do.”

But if there were too many people, it wouldn’t be easy for Tan Mo to use her powers.

Butler Zhou also said, “Sir, Madam, I will be here, and I won’t let Miss Mo Mo get too tired. Young Master Wei’s suite has another room. Miss Mo Mo can sleep there. Once Young Master Wei wakes up, Miss Mo Mo can see him immediately.”

“I don’t think the hospital will allow four minders in a room, even in a suite.” Butler Zhou couldn’t bluntly express that Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan didn’t know anything about taking care of people. They would practically be more of a nuisance to him than help.

Also, there were only two beds. Wei Zhiqian occupied one, and the other was given to Tan Mo.

Wei Ming and Xiao Menghan couldn’t sleep on the sofa.

However, Butler Zhou really didn’t expect Tan Mo to insist that she stay and take care of Wei Zhiqian.

He was moved by Tan Mo’s action.

Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan understood Butler Zhou’s insinuation.

Wei Mingwen cleared this throat awkwardly.

It was Older Master Wei who stepped in and decided, “You two should go back too. What are you going to do here anyway? You would just take up space.”

In the eyes of Older Master Wei, Tan Mo was more likable than his son and daughter-in-law.

Older Master Wei reminded Tan Mo again, “We agreed to let you stay not for you to take care of your little uncle, but to make you feel at ease, and so you get to see him when he wakes up. But don’t try to take over Butler Zhou’s job.

“I’ll have someone send a tablet in a while. What else do you need? Don’t worry about toiletries. This suite sure has a lot of them,” Older Madam Wei said. “It’s getting late. If you feel bored, just play with your phone and tablet instead of going out alone, okay?”

“Great-grandma, I won’t go out. Don’t worry.” Tan Mo did not refuse the Old Madam’s offer to send a tablet.

She didn’t need anything else either.

“When Young Master Wei wakes up, I’ll tell you right away,” Butler Zhou said as he was seeing everyone off.

Xu Mingzhen also wanted to go home. She had to talk to Tan Wenci about what happened here.

Tan Mo stayed in the suite to look after Wei Zhiqian.

Before leaving, Xu Mingzhen once again reminded her, “Mo Mo, Butler Zhou has to look after Zhiqian. Don’t make him watch over you too, okay?”

If she couldn’t be of any help, she should at least not cause any trouble.
