Li Qin nodded and her pale face showed that she was still feeling unwell while her eyes weren’t as fierce nor as arrogant as in the past.

She was half-paralyzed so she could no longer be arrogant.

Mo Yixuan fed his mother a few more mouthfuls of rice, then pulled out a tissue to wipe at the soup that dribbled down from the corners of her lips.

His heart clenched and his guilt and heartache were written all over his face. This was all his fault for getting together with Xia Yuwei, reducing his family to such a state and his mother to be in this condition.

He had brought about the downfall of his family.

Li Qin took a few mouthfuls and after the sixth mouthful, she suddenly pursed her pale lips and refused to eat anymore.

“Mum...” Mo Yixuan said with a frown and looked at his mother in confusion. She had taken less than half of the food, why did she suddenly stop eating?

Li Qin reached out with trembling hands and it shook for a while mid-air before she finally touched her son.

“Yixuan, promise me that you’ll go back to work tomorrow, would you?” Li Qin said with her voice shaking, her anxiety and concern clear in her voice.

Mo Yixuan used to be a workaholic and his top priority was always his work. Yet, two whole months had passed by now and he didn’t seem to show any concern about the company.

She didn’t dare imagine what would happen to the company if he continued to be in such a state.

Mo Yixuan took his mother’s hand and his eyes narrowed while the bitterness in his smile was clear.

“Mum, don’t worry too much about that. There’s someone else managing the company right now. Your health is more important, so I’ll be spending more time looking after you during this period.”

Mo Yixuan said calmly and there weren’t any conflicting emotions on his face, as though he had already made up his mind.

He scooped up another spoonful of rice and brought it to his mother’s lips.

Li Qin turned her head away in anger.

“I refuse to eat...” She said with a frown. She seemed very unhappy and several more lines appeared around the corners of her eyes.

“Mum..”

“If you don’t go to work, I’ll starve myself,” Li Qin said, her face hardening. Her annoyance and anxiety were clearly reflected in her eyes.

She was annoyed that the house was in shambles now and anxious that her son had become so listless and unambitious. This wasn’t how he used to be and he seemed to be like a changed man.

Mo Yixuan couldn’t outtalk her, so he put the food aside and wheeled his mother into the house.

“Did you hear what I said earlier?” Li Qin turned to look at her son, her face turning red.

Mo Yixuan sighed.

He nodded.

He knew how stubborn his mother could be and if he didn’t nod, she would definitely continue to insist on her way. He was even more worried that she would become so agitated that it could trigger a recurrence of her heart issue.

He wouldn’t be able to bear it if he experienced another tragic event in the family.

The newly hired nanny, Liang Xia, led the 11-month-old Mo Ye into the living room to practice walking. Mo Ye was almost one year old now and was growing very quickly. He had also started to learn how to walk. Although he was still very unsteady on his feet and would often fall, he grew bigger day by day and was also now more intelligent.

He rarely made a fuss these days.

The new nanny was already 35 years old and a mother of two children herself. She had experience in raising children, so Mo Ye was also starting to grow healthily.

“Grandma...” Mo Ye waved his small hands about and carefully walked to his grandmother’s wheelchair. He grabbed the handle of her wheelchair with his hands and looked up at his grandmother in the wheelchair.

He looked as though he wanted to say something.
