Chapter 80 - Wei Zhiqian Seems to Know
Tan Mo now had a fever.
It was difficult for Wei Zhiqian not to link this together.
He began to think that Tan Mo might have some healing powers.
He had suffered a very serious injury, but, after only one night, he had almost completely recovered.
Because his injury had been so serious, Tan Mo, in order to heal him, had exhausted her abilities, perhaps even surpassing the limit she could bear. This had caused her to fall into a coma due to physical exhaustion, and now she had a fever.
“You silly girl,” Wei Zhiqian whispered to himself.
So what if his injury had taken a little longer to heal?
Was it worth her overexerting herself to treat him?
Although he was only guessing, Wei Zhiqian felt certain that his guess was 99 percent close to the truth.
But he didn’t say anything out loud.
Regarding this matter, the less people who knew about it the better.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his family and the Tan family.
But Tan Mo’s powers could lead people to want to take advantage of them.
Wei Zhiqian would rather let people put the blame on him. So he put the blame on himself.
Besides, in fact, Tan Mo did have a fever because of him.
Tan Mo, in the arms of the Old Madame, opened her eyes in a daze.
“Great Grandma?”
“Yes, it’s me,” the Old Madame answered quickly.
Tan Mo saw that Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen were also there on the side of her bed.
After a few minutes, Tan Mo sorted out her thoughts.
She guessed that overexertion of her powers had caused a fever.
She had come to take care of Wei Zhiqian, and the next day she had developed a fever. With her parents’ love for her, how could they not blame Wei Zhiqian a little bit?
Tan Mo said, “I developed the fever because I am usually pretty lazy and don’t like sports. As a result, my stamina is so bad that I got a fever because I went to bed slightly later than usual.”
“Ah, Mo Mo!” The Old Madame felt really distressed.
How was it possible to be such a well-behaved little girl?
“You had me worried to death.” The Old Madame touched Tan Mo’s face.
Unexpectedly, Tan Mo pushed the Old Madame’s hand away.
“Oh, are my hands too rough?” The Old Madame felt terrible.
Tan Mo was feeling sick, so her being squeamish now was understandable.
Tan Mo’s head felt dizzy now, and she couldn’t even shake her head. When she moved her head, she had a headache. “No, Great Grandma, stay away from me so I don’t infect you.”
As she spoke, Tan Mo tried to move farther away.
“You’re sick, so why are you still thinking about other people?” The Old Madame continued to hold Tan Mo firmly in her arms.
Even at such a time when Tan Mo had a fever, she was still afraid of infecting others.
The Old Madame’s heart ached.
“The doctor is here,” Butler Zhou announced.
Wei Zhiqian hurriedly stepped away. The doctor came up to Tan Mo’s bedside and checked her.
He took her temperature.
“She has a high fever and some inflammation. She needs an infusion to reduce the inflammation and high fever,” the doctor said.
Wei Zhiqian said, “Let’s get another room.”
Everyone thought it would be a good idea for Tan Mo to rest here.
But when Wei Zhiqian made that comment, they suddenly thought of the words that Qin Murong had said just now.
Although they had a clear conscience, they couldn’t stop other people’s imaginations from running wild with perverted thoughts.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better if Wei Zhiqian got a room on a different floor.
So the Old Madame sent Butler Zhou to find another room.
…
Tan Mo had had an infusion applied in an IV. Under its effects, she gradually started feeling better and was no longer so disoriented.
Seeing that Wei Zhiqian was waiting by her bed, Tan Mo asked anxiously, “Little Uncle, why are you here instead of resting?”
“I’m all right.” Wei Zhiqian touched Tan Mo’s forehead. Her temperature had dropped a little. “Don’t be so stupid in the future.”
Somehow, Tan Mo felt that Wei Zhiqian seemed to know.
Tan Mo started to speak, “Little Uncle…”
However, there were so many people around so Wei Zhiqian couldn’t really say anything. He only touched her forehead and said, “Look at me now. I’m fine even when I move around.”
Wei Zhiqian paused, then lowered his voice. He got close to Tan Mo and whispered, “My wounds are almost healed. The bleeding stopped long ago, and I don’t even feel the slightest bit of pain. I can be discharged from the hospital immediately without any problems now.”
Tan Mo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Wei Zhiqian was healed.
But immediately, she became nervous again.
Wei Zhiqian must have guessed that she had healing powers.
But, after thinking about it, Tan Mo wasn’t surprised at all.
How smart was Wei Zhiqian? He had been publicly recognized as the most outstanding person in the Wei family’s younger generation and was the one who would take over the Wei family in the future.
How could he possibly not have guessed it?
Tan Mo was worried. Wei Zhiqian wouldn’t…treat her like a freak, right?
It would have been better for her to have just had a photographic memory. After all, there are so many geniuses in this world.
But having healing power…
“Don’t think about it. Get some good rest.” Wei Zhiqian stroked her hair. The Tan family was still watching intently.
Tan Wenci couldn’t help but decide to send him away. “Zhiqian, you are still injured, so go and rest. If Mo Mo’s illness affects your injury, Mo Mo will blame herself even more. In that case, wouldn’t she have caused trouble instead of helping?”
Tan Wenci felt that if Wei Zhiqian stayed any longer, Tan Mo’s three older brothers might really kick him out.
She held Wei Zhiqian’s hand and shook it gently. “Yeah, Little Uncle, go rest. I will get well soon. After my fever subsides, I will come and see you.”
Wei Zhiqian looked at Tan Mo’s little face, which was still a little red. Even if her family were there, he still felt worried.
He would really have liked Tan Mo be in a room with him.
Wei Zhiqian regretted having to leave. He reminded Tan Mo, “Then you rest also. If you want something to eat, tell Butler Zhou and have them cook it for you.”
“I will.” Tan Mo pouted. In Wei Zhiqian’s heart, was she just a foodie?
“If you have any other needs, please mention it. Don’t hold back,” Wei Zhiqian said again.
“I know.” Tan Mo let go of Wei Zhiqian’s hand, held his finger instead, and shook it twice. “Little Uncle and I aren’t strangers to each other, so why would I hold back?”
Wei Zhiqian’s fingers felt the soft sensation of her fingers, and he couldn’t help but miss Tan Mo’s little hands that had smelled like milk candy when she was a child. She had always clung to his shoulders and held his hands.
“Then I won’t disturb you any longer. Have a good rest.” After Wei Zhiqian finished speaking, he finally left.
The three Tan family brothers took the opportunity to surround her.
“Mo Mo, do you want some water?”
“Mo Mo, is there anything you want to eat?”
“Mo Mo, are you uncomfortable? Do you want us to raise the head of the bed? Is this angle okay?”
Fortunately, Tan Mo’s fever disappeared that day, and she was discharged from the hospital and taken home.
A small cold wasn’t enough reason to stay in the hospital.
But the day after she was discharged from the hospital, Tan Mo came to the hospital to see Wei Zhiqian again.
The Tan family didn’t come with her this time.
Tan Mo specifically chose a time when her three older brothers had class and Tan Wenci had work.
