When the crowd saw that the Old Master had woken up, they immediately moved closer to the bed. Although it was a VIP ward, it was still a little crowded for so many people.
When everyone moved forward, the three people from the Yun family all stepped back to make room.
Apart from Zhou Mo, the most excited person at the scene was probably Zhou Lin. The two of them had been together for so long, but Yun Xi had never seen Zhou Lin so emotional. In Yun Xi’s eyes, Zhou Lin had always been a calm and wise man.
“Dad, you’re finally awake. How do you feel?” Zhou Lin kneeled beside the Old Master in the same posture as Zhou Mo and said softly.
However, the Old Master could not open his mouth. Zhou Lin only got silence and the sobbing of the others. The Old Master looked at the tearful people around him and could not help but blame himself.
He felt that he was old and useless, which was why the children were so sad. He also wanted to speak up and tell them not to worry, but he was not strong enough.
The Old Master was such a strong-headed person when he was young. As the saying goes, a man would not shed tears easily. However, the Old Master was now crying in his heart because of his disappointing body.
Everyone panicked when they saw the tears flowing down from the corners of the Old Master’s eyes. They thought that the Old Master was not feeling well. Everyone in the room was like ants on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around.
“Hurry up! Quickly call the doctor!” Zhou Mo shouted to the people behind him. There were still tears in his eyes.
Yun Yang, who was standing at the door of the ward, quickly ran out and called the doctor from the office.
“Doctor, my dad is already awake, but why can’t he speak? He was crying just now, is he feeling unwell?” Zhou Lin hurriedly asked the doctor who had rushed over.
“Don’t worry, the patient’s current condition is much more stable. He doesn’t have the strength to speak now because the effect of the medicine hasn’t worn off. As for the patient’s tears, it’s probably because he’s feeling uncomfortable!” The doctor said to the people in the room.
“Since the patient has woken up, I suggest that two people take turns to take care of him. Too many people being there is not good for him condition. The patient needs peace and quiet now.” The doctor suggested as he looked at the crowd in the ward.
“Sorry to trouble you, doctor.” Zhou Lin looked at the doctor gratefully.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Zhou. I’ll take my leave first. If there’s anything you need, you can find me in my office at any time.” The doctor left the room humbly after he finished speaking.
“Yun Xi, you and Zhou Lin should go back and rest earlier tonight. You’ve worked hard last night. I’ll take care of grandpa tonight!” Lin Yu said to Yun Xi and Zhou Lin.
“That’s right, little uncle. You should go back first. Leave it to Lin Yu and me tonight!” Lin Yu looked in Zhou Mo’s direction in shock. He could not believe that Zhou Mo would be willing to stay with her. He had been avoiding Lin Yu all this while.
Seeing Zhou mo and Lin Yu’s expressions, Zhou Lin nodded his head in relief and said, “Alright, I’ll leave it to you guys then.”
“Then we’ll go back now. If you two need anything, call home at any time!” Qian Yun looked at her son and daughter-in-law in front of her and felt an indescribable comfort in her heart.
“Dad, mom, you should go back first. It’s hard for grandpa to rest with so many people here.” Zhou Mo then urged everyone to leave.
In a short while, the crowded and noisy ward was left with Zhou Mo, Lin Yu, and the Old Master lying on the bed.
Seeing that Zhou Mo was still kneeling on the ground, Lin Yu quickly went over to help him up.
“Ah Mo, get up first, the floor is cold,” Lin Yu said gently.
Zhou Mo was caught off guard by Lin Yu’s gentle ‘Ah Mo’. Other than Zhou Mo’s mother, Qian Yun, Lin Yu was probably the first person to address him in such a gentle tone.
Zhou Mo looked at Lin Yu with a hint of surprise and fear in his eyes, but it was all fleeting, so fast that Lin Yu did not even notice. Soon, Zhou Mo’s eyes were filled with sadness again.
“It’s fine, I can get up on my own,” Zhou mo said stubbornly, but in fact, his legs were so numb that he could barely feel anything.
Lin Yu ignored Zhou Mo’s words and helped him up. She patted the dust off his knees and helped him to the sofa.
Zhou Mo looked at Lin Yu, who was busy helping him, and he could not help but feel a warm current in his heart. The way he looked at Lin Yu was much gentler than before.
“Ah Mo, you were on such an early flight, so you must not have eaten yet! I’ll go downstairs and buy something for you,” Lin Yu said worriedly.
