However, Liuli woke up in less than an hour.

Afterward, she couldn’t fall back asleep.

Tang Yanxi and Tang Yunxi arrived early in the morning with breakfast.

After Tang Moxi and Liuli finished their breakfast, they waited for the doctor to conduct the ward rounds to get an update on Grandpa’s condition.

The doctor’s prognosis wasn’t positive. If Grandpa didn’t wake up soon, he might slip into a coma.

Tang Moxi asked if he could go in and visit Grandpa at that moment. After confirming that he could change into sterile clothing, he did so with the assistance of a nurse.

Since only one person was allowed inside at a time and the visit couldn’t exceed five minutes, Liuli stood in front of the glass window and observed as Tang Moxi sat on the chair next to Grandpa’s bed, speaking softly to him.

Grandpa Tang remained unconscious, showing no response.

Five minutes passed by swiftly.

Tang Moxi emerged from the ICU, having removed his sterile clothing.

Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi approached, eager to inquire about the situation.

Tang Moxi replied,

“Grandpa is still unconscious. 1 don’t know if he can hear me when 1 talk to him.”

“All we can do now is wait.”

“We can take turns visiting him every four hours.” 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“Yunxi and Yanxi, it’s your turn next.”

“Talk to Grandpa about the things he loves to hear.”

“We must wake him up today!”

“I’ll be back during lunchtime!” Tang Moxi informed Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi.

Attentively, Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi nodded in agreement.

Tang Moxi escorted Liuli back home, leaving the task in the hands of his two sisters.

During the journey, Liuli remained silent.

Feeling the weight of Mr. Tang’s seriousness, she didn’t dare to speak, fearing that her words might be inappropriate.

Furthermore, her heart felt heavy, and weariness enveloped her. She didn’t know what to say.

After returning to the Tang residence, Tang Moxi took a shower and retired to bed with Liuli.

This time, Liuli didn’t utter a word. She obediently went to bathe and joined Tang Moxi in bed.

Tang Moxi entered the study to make a call and provide instructions. Upon returning to the bedroom, he found Liuli already fast asleep.

A tear glistened on her cheek.

Resisting the urge to kiss her, Tang Moxi entered the bathroom to shower. Afterward, he embraced Liuli and drifted off to sleep.

His mobile phone rested on the nearby table, ensuring he would be alerted when a call arrived.

Liuli was sound asleep when she suddenly heard Grandpa Tang’s voice calling her… “Liuli!”

His voice held a gentle smile, radiating kindness and benevolence.

Liuli responded, awakening from her slumber.

As she gazed at the ceiling, a daze enveloped her.

After a moment, she turned towards Mr. Tang and noticed the furrowed brow that belied a troubled sleep.

Unable to resist, Liuli reached out to smooth it out.

In the next moment, her mind went blank, and she became vulnerable to Tang Moxi’s actions.

Tang Moxi seemed driven by the need to release the worry and pain that burdened his heart.

He momentarily forgot that Liuli was still just a young girl, despite being his wife.

If Liuli hadn’t gasped in sudden pain,

Perhaps, this time, Tang Moxi would have continued his advances.

He seemed like a person consumed by a frenzy, unaware of his own actions.

“It hurts…”

Tang Moxi helped Liuli pull up her pajamas and fastened the buttons. Then, he lifted the blanket and examined Liuli’s legs. Not only had the bruises on her right knee failed to fade entirely, but there were also new bruises on her calf.

“What happened to your calf? Liuli!” Tang Moxi inquired.

“It hurts…” Liuli choked back her words.

Tang Moxi gently carried her off the bed and settled her on the sofa before retrieving the first aid kit.

“When did this happen?” Tang Moxi asked, preparing to clean Liuli’s wound.

“Last night… when I rushed to Grandpa’s room, I accidentally fell!” Liuli replied anxiously, her gaze fixated on the cotton swab in Mr. Tang’s hand.

“Be careful and avoid running in the future. Take it slow,” Tang Moxi spoke in a low voice. “It might sting a bit. Bear with it.”

With that, he proceeded to clean and disinfect Liuli’s wound.

Liuli winced in pain but dared not cry out.

Once Tang Moxi finished disinfecting the wound and reached for the antiseptic spray, he noticed that tears were streaming down Liuli’s face.

“If it hurts too much, feel free to scream.”

“Brother Moxi, it really hurts!” Liuli sobbed.

“I know, because it hurts me too,” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind ATr. Tang’s words. She speculated that he might be worried about Grandpa Tang!

To prevent her pants from rubbing against her grazed skin, Tang Moxi carefully bandaged her leg.

He then carried her into the bathroom, instructing her to avoid letting the water touch her legs.

Just then, Liuli’s phone started ringing.

Tang Moxi went to fetch it for her, while she patiently waited inside the bathroom.

The missed call was from her home.

Liuli hastily returned the call.

It was her mother on the other end.

“Mom…”

“Liuli, aren’t you and Jingxing coming back today?” Lin Yu asked through the phone.

“Mom, I might not be able to come back today.”

“Grandpa Tang was hospitalized last night,” Liuli couldn’t help but feel sorrowful once again.

“Huh? What’s the current situation?”

“The doctor said that if he doesn’t wake up, Grandpa might just slip into a deep sleep.”

“Mom, Grandpa was fine yesterday. I had breakfast with him this morning.”

“He was still in high spirits, but he was admitted to the hospital last night,” Liuli couldn’t help but break into tears.

“Liuli, don’t cry just yet. Which hospital is Grandpa Tang in? We’ll go there later to visit.”

“Grandpa Tang is in the ICU ward. It’s not easy to visit him freely. We can only go in once every four hours.”

“And each visit is limited to five minutes,” Liuli explained.

“It’s alright. We can go and have a look outside. Don’t worry too much.”

“Your Grandpa Tang will receive blessings from above. He will be alright!”

“Yes!” Liuli nodded.

After her conversation with her mother, Liuli hung up and proceeded to freshen up.

At that moment, Tang Moxi had already changed and entered the bathroom.

Both of them stood in front of the sink, brushing their teeth and washing their faces.

Under normal circumstances, Liuli might have felt awkward, but today, she didn’t. In fact, she felt more secure and protected with Mr. Tang by her side.

After finishing her ablutions, Liuli went to change her clothes.

Tang Moxi assisted her with it.

“Brother Moxi, 1 can do it myself!”

“Just be careful. 1 might be occupied for a while and won’t be able to look after you. Take good care of yourself.”

“Brother Moxi, 1 understand!” Liuli nodded.

She couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. Not only was she unable to assist Grandpa Tang, but she also caused trouble!

After getting ready, they headed straight to the hospital.

Tang Moxi bought a bento and brought it along.

Upon seeing them, Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi stood up.

“Is Grandpa awake?” Tang Moxi glanced towards the ICU ward and asked.

“Not yet!” Tang Yunxi responded.

Tang Yanxi shook her head.

“Let’s have our meal first!” Tang Moxi suggested.

The four of them sat down and quietly had their lunch.

At that moment, the Yu family arrived.

Liuli hadn’t expected Grandma to come as well.

“Grandma…” Liuli quickly went up to her.

“How is your Grandpa Tang doing now?” Grandma Yu inquired.

“He’s still unconscious!” Liuli shook her head.

“Grandma!” Tang Moxi walked over and greeted her. Then, he turned to greet Yu Zhiyuan and Lin Yu.

H

It will be alright. Don’t worry too much,” Lin Yu comforted Tang Moxi.

“Thank you, Mom!” Tang Moxi nodded.

Everyone walked to the glass window and looked at Grandpa Tang, who remained unresponsive.

Waiting seemed to be the only option.

“Can I go in and see him?” Grandma Yu suddenly turned to Tang Moxi and asked.

“Grandma?” Tang Moxi was a little surprised.

“Five minutes should suffice,” Grandma Yu continued.

“Yanxi, ask the nurse if Grandma can go in to visit Grandpa now. Also, find out if it’s convenient,” Tang Moxi instructed Tang Yanxi, turning around.

Although he didn’t understand why Grandma Yu wanted to visit Grandpa personally, if that was her wish, he couldn’t deny it.

Besides, it was what Grandma Yu desired.

Tang Moxi only learned about the relationship between Grandpa and Grandma Yu later.

“Alright!” Tang Yanxi replied and headed to the nurse’s station to inquire.

The head nurse arrived and informed them that it would take ten minutes.

Grandma Yu would be allowed to visit for five minutes.

When the time came, Liuli would go and assist Grandma Yu because the wheelchair couldn’t be brought into the ward.

And so, the head nurse and another nurse helped Grandma Yu change into sterile clothes.

Due to the elderly man’s slower pace, it took more time to complete the process.

Once Grandma Yu was almost dressed, the head nurse, who had already put on sterile clothes, supported Grandma Yu, who could barely walk, into the ward before leaving the room.

The two elderly individuals were left in the private space.

Liuli couldn’t hear what Grandma Yu was saying to Grandpa Tang inside the ward.

However, she had a hunch that it must be related to their shared past.

Grandpa Tang likely couldn’t let Grandma Yu go.

Perhaps Grandma Yu knew that Grandpa Tang still had unfulfilled wishes, which was why she requested to visit him..
