Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1439: Grampy Has Come To

It had been three days since Old Mr. Mo was transferred to a normal ward and he had also been unconscious for three days. However, he showed no signs of waking up and hence, Wen Xinya was extremely worried.

The doctor suggested that she communicate with Old Mr. Mo more often and let him listen to more music. That would help him come to sooner.

Wen Xinya accepted the doctor’s suggestion and occasionally spoke to him, read him some newspapers and read out some well wishes on the greeting cards for him.

However, Wen Xinya was conscientious enough and would let Old Mr. Mo rest for about two hours after a 15- to 25-minute reading session.

“Grampy, everyone’s paying attention to your health and hoping that you will wake up sooner. Stop being such a sleepyhead. Once you come to, I’ll let you sleep as much as you want,” Wen Xinya said while holding onto Old Mr. Mo’s hand.

There seemed to be more wrinkles on his hand than before, but holding onto his coarse and aged hand made her feel much more at ease.

“Grampy, I’m really worried about you. Open your eyes and look at me, will you?” Wen Xinya pressed Old Mr. Mo’s hand against her face and rubbed his coarse hang against her smooth and silky skin. She behaved the same way as she used to whenever she played cute to Old Mr. Mo.

After years of nourishing, Old Mr. Mo seemed to be much younger than he used to be. However, within just a few short days, he looked extremely aged and drained while lying on the bed.

His chiseled features seemed to have become thin, shriveled and haggard too!

Extremely upset, Wen Xinya teared up and began crying again. “Grampy, you always mock me for being a lazy pig who loves to sleep...”

While playing cute, she sobbed and sounded extremely miserable and pitiful.

“Don’t... don’t cry!” a hoarse and old voice sounded in the air.

Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya stared at Old Mr. Mo with widened eyes, only to see that he was turning to the side and staring at her with his gray and cloudy eyes glassed over and out of focus. However, he still had a tender expression on his face.

Wen Xinya stared at Old Mr. Mo in shock, unable to recover from it.

Old Mr. Mo pursed his dry lips and exclaimed, “Silly lass!”

“Grampy... you’re awake. You’re really awake. This is great!” Wen Xinya finally recovered from the shock. She stared at him in surprise and almost jumped in joy. Her voice was shaky and she seemed to be sobbing agitatedly.

She stared at Old Mr. Mo, for fear that her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Old Mr. Mo’s throat turned dry and he said in a haggard and old voice, “I was initially sleeping well. Yet... someone started chattering beside my ear, making it heart for me to rest. Hence, I woke up.”

While he was unconscious, he would often hear her voice as she chattered incessantly like a small sparrow. His heart would often be touched by her words.

“Grampy, it’s great that you’re alright. I was really worried about you...” Wen Xinya’s eyes turned red and teary. She was filled with joy and gratitude because Old Mr. Mo had woken up and spoken so much to her.

Tears of joy rolled down Wen Xinya’s cheeks uncontrollably and she was no longer as anxious, uneasy, worried, afraid or devastated as she was in the past few days.

“You’re all grown up and yet, you still cry so easily,” Old Mr. Mo said while wiping her tears away with shaky hands. However, his body was weak and feeble because he had just woken up. He could not even raise his arm.

“Hey... Grampy...” Wen Xinya sat on Old Mr. Mo’s bed while weeping uncontrollably like a child. It seemed she was venting all of her grief and negative emotions.

“I... am already alright! You don’t have to worry anymore,” Old Mr. Mo raised his hand and gently caressed her head. Sensing how agitated and joyous she was, Old Mr. Mo was filled with a complicated mix of emotions. At the instant that he suffered a myocardial infarction, he began to experience breathing difficulties and a sharp pain in his chest which made him feel like he was about to face his death! He suddenly felt overwhelmed with fear!

He thought that he wasn’t going to make it!

The thought of his only granddaughter made him feel regretful.

Yes, regretful!

He failed to protect Mo Yunyao and the daughter whom she had given birth to.

One passed away unnaturally while the other was left to lead a wandering life and fend for herself for 15 years.

The thought of there being no one whom Wen Xinya could rely on after his death, made him feel an immense heartache.

Letting his daughter down had become a life regret that he could not make up for.

However, he still had a chance to make it up to Wen Xinya.

He managed to pull through it because of that belief.

Bawling like a child, Wen Xinya said, “Grampy, you’re my only relative. You must promise me that you’ll live a long life and stay by my side all the time. I... I will definitely be filial towards you.”

She wanted to make up for everything that she owed Old Mr. Mo in her previous lifetime so that he could enjoy familial warmth and bliss for the rest of his life.

“Alright... I’ll definitely live a long life and stay by your side,” Old Mr. Mo said resignedly. His emotions had become exceptionally tender, perhaps because he had had a close shave with death. However, he still had a calm expression.

Wen Xinya held onto Old Mr. Mo’s hand in satisfaction. “Grampy, I’ll get the doctor to come here and visit you!”

Wen Xinya then sprinted out of the ward agitatedly.

Old Mr. Mo initially wanted to stop her since they could call for the doctor using the assistance bell. However, she sprinted away too quickly. Besides, he had just woken up and was still too feeble to speak.

He had no choice but to watch her rush out of the ward eagerly.

He shook his head and thought to himself, What a silly lass!

I must have scared her this time!

This little lass seems to be strong and determined, but she has a heart that’s softer than anyone else.

She seems to be unable to resist kinship. In fact, she seems to crave it!

Actually, he could more or less understand the reason for her feelings because she had led a wandering life as a child and got adopted by a ruthless couple who ill-treated and abused her. She was treated harshly and had never enjoyed the bliss of having a family. Now that she had a family member, she obviously would treasure him.

At some point, after Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family, he was almost worried that she would lose herself while being obsessed with kinship, so much that she’d stoop lower than she should.

Fortunately... she stayed true to herself!

She did not disappoint him!

He knew better than anyone else how hard it was for one to stay true to themselves.

He was very heartened!

Hence, he was sure that his illness must have given her a huge blow!
