Chapter 74 - Healing Little Uncle
Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion
âMom, what little confidence you have in me!â Tan Mo pouted. âOf course, I wonât give Butler Zhou a difficult time.â
âOkay, okay!â Xu Mingzhen laughed and patted Tan Moâs head. âIf you need anything, or if you want anything, just give me a call, and Iâll have your brothers bring it to you. By the way, is there anything you want to eat?â
The college entrance examination was finally over. The Tan family would be having a feast to reward Tan Mo for her hard work.
Tan Mo guessed what Xu Mingzhen was thinking and said with a smile, âWhen Little Uncle wakes up, I will be in the mood to have a big feast.â
âWith Butler Zhou around, I definitely wonât starve. Donât worry, Mom.â Tan Mo hugged Xu Mingzhen and said, âIâll have dinner later. Iâll take pictures and send them to the group later.â
âGood.â Xu Mingzhen did not stay long.
It would not look good if she appeared reluctant to let Tan Mo stay.
Xu Mingzhen then got on the elevator.
Inside the elevator, she sighed as she thought about Tan Mo.
This was the first time Tan Mo would not be spending the night at their home.
In her heart, she was worried.
After Tan Mo saw Xu Mingzhen off, she returned to the suite.
Wei Zhiqianâs suite was very spacious.
It had a small living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom. It had complete facilities.
The living room was connected to an open-plan kitchen. The kitchen had no open-flame stove, but it had a microwave and an induction stove.
The patientâs bed was connected to the living room. One could see it as soon as they entered the room.
This was mainly so the doctors and nurses could easily see the patient and administer treatments.
The bedroom was for the patientâs minder.
Tan Mo grabbed a chair and sat down beside Wei Zhiqianâs bed.
She did not dare to put her hand directly on Wei Zhiqianâs wound.
If Butler Zhou returned and saw that she was touching We Zhiqianâs wound, he might misunderstand. Tan Mo would have no way of explaining herself.
Instead, Tan Mo held Wei Zhiqianâs hand and began to transfer energy to him. The energy slowly spread to the wound on his right shoulder.
Tan Mo looked at Wei Zhiqian as he slept peacefully.
She remembered how curious she was about Wei Zhiqian when he was still a teenager.
Wei Zhiqian was already outstanding back then. From then on, Tan Mo had been wondering what he would be like when he grew up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now, she finally had the answer.
Wei Zhiqianâs face and lips were pale; his lips were a little chapped.
Despite this, he was still handsome.
He usually appeared arrogant, but now, he looked fragile.
The anesthesia had worn off by now, and Wei Zhiqianâs brows were furrowing.
Tan Mo held Wei Zhiqianâs hand in one hand. She then stretched out her other hand to smooth out the crease on his brows.
Then, she held Wei Zhiqianâs hand with both hands.
Wei Zhiqian looked very calm, and his eyelashes were long and thick.
Under the light, his nose bridge was well defined, and deep shadows were cast on his face.
Tan Mo could not help but mutter, âI wonder what my little aunt will be likeâ¦â
âDonât mention it in front of the Old Madam. Otherwise, she will urge Young Master Wei to get married again. Young Master Wei will be annoyed.â When Butler Zhou returned, he could not help but smile when he heard Tan Mo talking to herself.
Tan Mo looked at Wei Zhiqian in surprise, then asked, âGreat-grandma is urging Little Uncle to marry soon?â
âSheâs not exactly urging him to marry.â Butler Zhou laughed at the thought. âIn the Old Madamâs words, itâs called planning ahead. Sheâs just worried that the young master wonât be able to find a girlfriend. Who will he marry in the future? So, he has to start looking for a suitable wife as soon as possible.â
Hearing that, Tan Mo could not help but laugh.
At this time, the hospitalâs restaurant served dinner. It looked appetizing for hospital food.
âCome and eat first,â Butler Zhou said.
Only then did Tan Mo stop transferring energy to Wei Zhiqian. She then checked his body temperature with an electronic thermometer. Relieved that he was fine, she left his side to eat.
After taking a bite, Tan Mo remembered that she had not taken photos of the food yet. She noticed the confusion on Butler Zhouâs face, so she took the initiative to explain, âI have to take photos and send them to my family to let them know that Iâm eating well and not to worry about me.â
âEven so, they will still be worried.â Butler Zhou looked at Tan Mo with an affectionate expression.
Her family had spoiled her since she was a child. It was normal for them to worry about her as she was staying up all night to take care of others when she had not done so in the past.
Tan Moâs eyes were bright. She said sweetly, âWith Butler Zhou here, I wonât have a hard time.â
Butler Zhou felt good after hearing Tan Moâs compliment.
He made a mental note to himself that he would take care of Tan Mo better.
This was the only way he could live up to Tan Moâs commendation of him.
When Tan Mo was done eating, someone came to take away the tableware and clean up.
Tan Mo returned to Wei Zhiqianâs side and continued to heal him.
To Butler Zhou, Tan Mo held Wei Zhiqianâs hand in prayer. She was praying for his speedy recovery and that he woke up soon.
Butler Zhou secretly took a picture of the two and sent it to the Wei familyâs elders.
âMo Mo is so caring,â the Old Madam said as she looked at the photo. She was relieved that someone dear was watching over her grandson.
Tan Mo really stayed to take care of Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Mingwen glanced at Xiao Menghan, pleased. âZhiqian didnât dote on Mo Mo for nothing.â
More than anything, Wei Zhiqianâs parents were grateful that Tan Mo had stayed to look after their son.
âMiss Mo Mo, you can rest. I will call you if there is something.â Butler Zhou noticed that it was already past eleven oâclock.
Tan Mo shook her head. However, by this time, she had transferred a lot of energy to Wei Zhiqian and was feeling dizzy.
She felt as if she had not slept for days. Her eyes felt heavy.
âIâm not sleepy yet.â Tan Mo tried her best to look alert. âButler Zhou, donât worry about me. We can take turns watching over him for the night. How about I look after him for the first half, then you for the second half?â
How could Butler Zhou leave Tan Mo here and rest?
He could see that there was no convincing Tan Mo otherwise. He then replied, âThen you must rest as soon as you feel tired. Donât exhaust yourself. Call me if you need anything.â
âHmm!â Seeing that Butler Zhou give in, Tan Mo was finally relieved.
As Tan Mo spoke to Butler Zhou, she continued to heal Wei Zhiqian.
Tan Mo felt that her strength was waning. However, seeing Wei Zhiqianâs face blush a little, Tan Mo clenched her teeth and held on.
âCome on! You can do this!â she told herself.
Tan Mo wasnât sure how long she could endure it. She held on nevertheless.
Then she lost consciousness. Her eyes completely shut, and she lay beside the bed.
When Butler Zhou saw her, he rushed over, wanting to take Tan Mo to the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, as he tried to break off Tan Moâs and Wei Zhiqianâs intertwined hands, he couldnât do it.
