He seemed extremely dispirited after battling his illness for three years.

His eyes only brightened up when he heard news of his precious granddaughter.

He opened his mouth slightly and made some gasping noises, but could not manage to get the words out.

His mouth had become crooked after the stroke, and he would drool the moment he was in a rush to speak.

The elderly head valued his dignity greatly and he usually would not speak when there were others around.

However, the moment he heard Mo Yongheng mentioning his precious granddaughter, he could not be bothered about anything else as he proceeded to lift his hand up strenuously and grabbed onto Mo Yongheng’s shirt.

He spoke with a slur and was so agitated that tears emerged from the corner of his eyes.

His saliva dripped down from the corner of his crooked mouth.

Mo Yongheng leaned in close to where his mouth his and only managed to hear what he was saying after a long time. “Pro… Protect… Xinxin…”

He continued to repeat these few words.

Others might not be able to make sense of what he had said.

Only Mo Yongheng was well aware of the elderly head’s thoughts; hence, he was able to guess it from the movement of his lips.

He wiped the saliva off his face immediately and reminded him to not get too agitated.

“Don’t worry, elderly head. Missy is well protected and Mo Kun will not be able to hurt her!”

“…”

Mo Chengxian finally stopped his attempt to speak the moment he heard this.

Exhausted, he relaxed his entire body and was about to fall into another deep sleep.

He seemed just like an elderly who had past his prime; if not for the fact that he was thinking about his precious granddaughter all the time, he might have already left his mortal frame.

Mo Yongheng held onto the aged man and said, “Elderly head, you can’t fall asleep now. You just had your medication and I still have to inject a dose of the antidote into you, please hold on for a little longer!”

“…”

When Mo Chengxian heard what he said, he opened his half-closed eyes. He could not speak and even a slight nod of his head proved to be a laborious task.

He only kept his eyes slightly open and stared fixedly at Mo Yongheng.

Mo Yongheng understood that he had already agreed to his request.

He immediately opened the silver box and took out a syringe of antidote which Qi Yan had developed. Then, he inserted the needle and injected it into the elderly head.

“The antidote was sent over by Missy and it will slowly help to clear the toxins in your body. However, no one can know about this. Elderly head, please remember that you cannot let anyone see the needle holes on your arm, which are hints that drugs were injected into you. Just like before, all that you have consumed were the medicine pills.”

Mo Yongheng reminded the elderly head as he performed the injection.

Mo Chengxian blinked his eyes to gesture that he understood everything that had been said.

He opened his mouth and attempted to speak, but was quickly stopped by Mo Yongheng.

“I know that you are worried about me and Missy, but we can only reveal Mo Kun’s true colors and steer the Mo Family back to the right path after you have recovered!”

“…”

Mo Chengxian didn’t attempt to say anything further. Just like usual times, he closed his eyes and allowed Mo Yongheng to assist him in lying down.

The medicine by the King of Medicine indeed deserved its famous reputation.

Mo Yongheng continued to stay by the elderly head’s side. Usually, the elderly head would fall into a deep sleep immediately after taking his medication, but he managed to hold on for 10 more minutes today before he slept.

Mo Yongheng was a doctor and he knew that this was a good sign.

Furthermore, Qi Yan had already said that his medicine could slowly clear the toxins in the elderly head’s body and decrease his reliance on the other medications. As such, it would be very difficult to detect any abnormalities even if someone examined the elderly head’s body.

Mo Yongheng kept the medicine box, as well as the used needles, and placed them in a spot where no one could see.

Then, he retrieved a pill from the medicine that Mo Kun gave him and flushed it away into the toilet bowl.

He did not take any risks and restored everything to its original state.

Following which, he wrung out a warm towel and wiped down the elderly head’s body.
