On that note, she pushed the door open and walked out.

Mo Zhi stared at her back with tightly clenched fists.

Her unemotional words were like icy daggers that stabbed his heart mercilessly, making him feel like an abandoned child left behind in a hospital.

He stumbled onto the sofa and stared at the door in a daze.

The door swung open again. This time Yao Lili dashed in.

Li Shu left the ward and walked briskly away from it.

As she walked further away from Mo Zhi’s room, she began to feel the heavy burden in her heart ease. But on the other hand, she was choked with emotions.

She had no idea what was going on, and even less why she was feeling an exceptional abhorrence towards Mo Zhi today.

But that was her own son, how could she possibly feel so disgusted by him?

She had to be going mad.

At this thought, Li Shu took a deep breath and tried hard to convince herself to be the bigger person, not to criticize him.

She had not done her part as a mother all this time, hence her child had turned out like this. But since they were aware of it now, they had to work to fix him.

She took another deep breath as she worked to suppress the moodiness she was feeling.

After a moment, she started walking again.

She found herself wandering into the hospital garden.

The air was fresh in the garden and the weather was fine. She found a seat along the corridor and sat down. After a while, she heard a familiar voice saying, “Slow down. The doctor has instructed you to take it easy with the walking, otherwise you’ll feel dizzy. Slow down, Mo Xicheng, if you’re disobedient I won’t let you out again.”

Upon hearing this, Li Shu turned around. Then she saw Shi Nianyao supporting Mo Xicheng as they strolled in the garden.

There was a bandage around the man’s head and he looked pale. He couldn’t help himself from talking back at her nagging, “Stop being so nervous. It’s not as serious as he says. Look, I’m fine, aren’t I? It’s just a bump. Actually, I wanted to get discharged today.”

Shi Nianyao immediately twitched her mouth and reached out to steady him. “Let’s walk a bit more and take a rest on that bench there afterwards. Then you should behave and return to the ward with me.”

Mo Xicheng was a little reluctant to return after being locked in the ward all day, but he relented, given what Shi Nianyao had said.

He didn’t want her to worry about him.

Just as he spoke and Shi Nianyao helped him walk forward, a few men in suits walked up to them hurriedly. When they saw Mo Xicheng, they immediately looked relieved and glad. They called out, “Mr. Mo! So you’re out here!”

Mo Xicheng was surprised. He stared at them as they approached and held out a document to him, saying, “This is the decision of the company’s board of directors. This is your appointment letter.”

The other man in a suit was obviously a lawyer. He drew out a letter and said, “This is an agreement for the transfer of shares drafted by your father. Read it carefully and, if you have no objections, you may sign it.”

“And this…”

The two men took turns to explain various things as Mo Xicheng stood there in a daze.

He looked at them steadily and, after a moment, he asked, “Did you… get the right person?”
