Chapter 1440: The Real Reason Behind Grampy’s Illness

Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan accompanied Old Mr. Mo for a series of checkups before the latter was sent back to the ward. The detailed checkup report would only be out tomorrow.

Wen Xinya heated up the vegetable porridge that Mother He had delivered this morning in the microwave oven and fed it to Old Mr. Mo. Due to the fact that Old Mr. Mo did not get to eat anything when he was unconscious, he did not have much of an appetite and could only stomach half a bowl.

Old Mr. Mo was clearly in better spirits after having had something to eat.

Myocardial infarction would usually lead to death, though the severity of the effects could be reduced with timely treatment.

Wen Xinya sat by the bed and told Old Mr. Mo about the things that happened in the past few days, as well as how much attention the world paid to his condition. She rattled on and on as if there was no end to what she had to say.

Si Yiyan was seated by the side and cutting some fruit while staring at her affectionately.

“I received a fax before I suffered a myocardial infarction,” Old Mr. Mo said slowly after remaining silent for a brief moment. He had a look of dejection on his haggard and wrinkled face.

Wen Xinya panicked and frantically asked in horror, “Grampy, don’t say anything. Lie down and get some rest. The doctor said that you shouldn’t tire yourself out since you’ve just come to.”

Wen Xinya had already heard about the fax from Si Yiyan and both of them were well aware that the content of the fax definitely had something to do with the death of Mo Yunyao, thus causing Old Mr. Mo to develop myocardial infarction because he was too agitated.

At this moment, Wen Xinya could not help but feel horrified to hear Old Mr. Mo mention it. She was afraid that he was still traumatized and agitated and did not want him to suffer a relapse.

The doctor had already instructed her to keep him happy and avoid letting him get agitated again.

Si Yiyan held onto Wen Xinya’s hand and asked calmly, “You suffered a myocardial infarction because of that fax. What was the content?”

Wen Xinya said frantically, “Si Yiyan, Grampy has just come to. We’ll talk about this another time.”

She seemed to be pleading him.

Si Yiyan comforted her. “Don’t worry. Since Old Mr. Mo has mentioned it to us, he definitely won’t let the matter about the fax affect him anymore. Besides… it would remain as a thorn in Old Mr. Mo’s heart if we don’t make things clear as soon as possible.”

Old Mr. Mo was a rational person and had probably just lost control of his emotions because he was agitated and emotional after reading the fax. However, now that the matter was already over, Si Yiyan believed that Old Mr. Mo had his own thoughts and ideas. Wen Xinya was just overreacting.

Wen Xinya pursed her lips and stared at Old Mr. Mo.

Old Mr. Mo shot her a comforting glance before saying calmly, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m talking about. Just like Ninth Si said, I’d be more at ease after talking it out. Otherwise, it’s going to prick my heart every now and then if I keep bottling it up.”

“You… don’t be too hard on yourself,” said Wen Xinya, who knew that she was being too nervous.

Old Mr. Mo nodded and continued, “The content of that fax was regarding the truth behind your mother’s death. Someone bribed the doctor who helped your mother deliver and he lit some aromatherapy incense in the labor room that would induce depression and feebleness. Your mother’s body was weak after giving birth to you prematurely and hence, she experienced difficult labor. Had the doctor performed a Cesarean section as soon as possible, both you and your mother would have survived. However, the doctor chose to delay the surgery by using your mother’s weak body as an excuse, thus resulting in your mother’s death.”

He was also agitated because he was shocked to find out that Mo Yunyao’s death was not accidental.

“So Mother actually… actually…” Wen Xinya began sobbing. Although she knew since a long time ago that there was more to her mother’s death, there was no longer any evidence that they could use to find out the truth. However, she did not expect the mastermind to be so ruthless.

“Was there any other content on the fax?” Since the Korean-Chinese Alliance had the audacity to tell Old Mr. Mo the truth behind Mo Yunyao’s death, they were definitely not afraid that Wen Xinya would check up on it. Besides, Mo Yunyao had already passed away for more than two decades and they might not find out anything even if they tried to probe.

Old Mr. Mo shook his head and answered, “There wasn’t any other content, but I kept the fax. It’s in the authentication file in my study.”

Back then, he had also suspected there to be another reason behind Mo Yunyao’s death. After all, medical technology was still not too bad, even though it wasn’t as advanced as the present. He was in disbelief about Mo Yunyao’s death.

He had once investigated on Mo Yunyao’s death. However, the missing of Wen Xinya and his daughter’s demise were too huge of a blow to him and hence, he did not investigate on it carefully. There were no leads either, so he accepted that as the truth.

He did not expect there to be more secrets behind her death.

He was Mo Yunyao’s father, but he let her die an unfair death for more than twenty years and never once avenged her. The thought of it made him feel extremely agonized and thus, developed myocardial infarction.

Wen Xinya held onto Old Mr. Mo’s hand and said, “Grampy, actually, Yan and I found out right from the start that there was more to Mother’s death, but we’ve been hiding it from you because we were afraid that you couldn’t take it. Yet…”

Wen Xinya was feeling rather guilty, for she was certain that Old Mr. Mo definitely wouldn’t be so agitated if she had told him about it earlier, and thus would not develop the illness.

She could not hide the matter about the Korean-Chinese Alliance any longer. If he were to continue holding it against himself, it would definitely take a toll on his body. She felt that it would be better to let him have a mental preparation.

Old Mr. Mo opened his eyes and said, “You guys…”

It turned out his granddaughter and his best student had already found out about the secret a long time ago and he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

“Grampy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. This is a long story. I’ll tell you about the details slowly in the future.” Although she had chosen to tell Old Mr. Mo about it, she was still feeling rather nervous and afraid that Old Mr. Mo would be angry and agitated again.

Noticing the anger on Old Mr. Mo’s face, Si Yiyan frantically said, “Old Mr. Mo, Auntie Mo has passed on for more than two decades. Don’t moor over it anymore. Xinya has been very worried about you, so she’s handed the investigation to me. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find out the truth.”

Anyone would be unable to accept the truth if they were to find out that their daughter’s death was not accidental.

Old Mr. Mo’s anger vanished adn he closed his eyes slowly. “I’m tired. I’m going to get some sleep.”

Old Mr. Mo indeed could not accept it. However, he was calm and did not get too agitated.
