After hearing this, Yan came back to her senses. What am I doing? Young Master Ye is still lying there and hasn’t woken up, but I’m just sitting here feeling sorry for myself? I’m being too selfish!
Yan, who had recovered, quickly spoke to Han Muzi, “Muzi, don’t worry. Although Young Master Ye hasn’t woken up yet, the doctor has not sent any notice. That means that Young Master Ye has safely passed this critical period.”
Although Han Muzi’s brows were still furrowed, she still smiled at Yan’s comforting words. “Yeah, a night has already passed by so quickly. We’ll get to 24 hours very soon.” Although one could not know what would happen after the 24 hours was up, Han Muzi only needed Ye Moxuan to safely pass this observation period.
After that, the surroundings became quiet again. Xiao Su was quick in buying breakfast and came back soon enough. “Young Lady Ye.”
Han Muzi nodded at him and saw that he was carrying a lot of things in his hands. Just when she wanted to come forward to help, Yan got up and passed by her. Xiao Su had bought breakfast for all of them, but Han Muzi had no appetite at all. She only drank a cup of milk hastily, and under Yan’s request, she ate a sandwich.
“That’s more like it; how are you going to grow a belly if you’re not eating?” Yan started munching on a steamed bun she took while drinking her soya milk.
After that, Han Muzi looked at Xiao Su. “You’ve spent the whole night here. After breakfast, you can go back to rest. Yan, you can go with Xiao Su as well.”
Hearing this, Yan’s eyes suddenly widened. “Go with him? Why? I won’t go. I’ll stay with you here.”
“Don’t make a fuss. It’s your restaurant’s second day of business. If you don’t go, how will you still be able to run the business after this?”
Yan said, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t open the restaurant for a day or two. It’s the same if I open shop again a few days later. As long as my noodles are delicious, customers will still come. If they don’t want to come, then it’s their loss.”
“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “You have to go.”
“No way! What will you do when I go back? You’re a pregnant woman in the hospital all by yourself. How can I not be worried? No matter what you say today, I won’t leave!”
Han Muzi was speechless. She looked at Xiao Su on the side and motioned with her eyes, hoping that he could help persuade Yan.
Xiao Su smiled bitterly when he received the message from the young lady. The two of them were good sisters but the young lady still could not persuade Yan. Moreover, he was but a sub-par person in her eyes, what right did he have to advise her? However, Xiao Su did not fail Han Muzi.
“Since Young Lady Ye is asking you to go back, then you should just go back. I think what she said is correct. It wasn’t easy for you to open this restaurant, and if you close the restaurant on the second day, you’ll lose a lot of customers.”
“If I lose customers then so be it.” Yan effectively blocked him with a single sentence. “What I’ll be losing is my customer base, not yours. Don’t meddle in this.”
Xiao Su did not know how to respond. Alright, I better not say anything else that’ll annoy the girl. After all, this girl has a bad temper.
Han Muzi was a little sympathetic toward Xiao Su after seeing him get retorted by Yan after saying that. She even thought about how Xiao Su would be if he managed to get together with Yan. Probably… he would be dominated by Yan? At this rate, he might not even dare to talk back to her, and he’d do whatever she asks him to! Thinking about this, it all seemed very interesting.
The corners of Han Muzi’s lips curled up subconsciously. “Don’t be so fierce.”
Pursing her lips, Yan replied, “How am I being fierce? Muzi, you have double standards.” Han Muzi used to be fiercer than her, but she was now criticized for being fierce herself.
Double standards? Han Muzi recalled for a while and realized that she had indeed been quite fierce before. It seemed that she had no right to call out Yan like this. Smiling helplessly, she whispered, “I’ve already called to tell Grandpa about this. He’ll be coming with Song An today and will be here all day long, so… you can go back and manage the restaurant with peace of mind.”
Hearing that others were coming, Yan’s heart relaxed. “Is that true? You’re not lying to me, right?”
“What’s there for me to lie about? With him already in this state, do you think that his grandfather and aunt still won’t come over to see him?”
Yan thought that it made sense. “Now that you mentioned it, it’s impossible that they won’t come. But…” She was still a little worried.
“Alright, you should go back and take care of the restaurant. If you’re still worried, you can come back at night. I won’t stop you, but I have something that I need to trouble you with.”
“What is it?”
“When you leave later, take Little Bean with you to your restaurant.”
Hearing this, Yan frowned. “Why? Isn’t it good to have him stay here and accompany you?”
“Little Bean is still young, so I don’t want him to see these sorts of things. It’s best if you don’t bring him over even at night.”
Yan did not know what to say.
“I’m depressed right now, and I’m afraid it’ll affect his mood too much, so…”
“I understand what you mean; don’t worry. If that’s the case, then I’ll bring him over to the restaurant with the excuse of it being busy.”
“Thank you, Yan.”
“What’s there to thank between us? I’m just happy that you’re willing to place your trust in me.”
Later, when Yan was about to leave, she took Little Bean and they left together. Xiao Su was responsible for sending them back. Initially, Little Bean was unwilling to leave, but when he heard that Great-grandfather and Grandaunt Song were coming to the hospital, he reluctantly left with Yan.
When everyone had left, the surroundings became quiet. Han Muzi sat alone in a chair in the corridor with a phone in her hand. Song An had sent her a message in the morning, saying that she would arrive at the hospital on time at 8am. It’s almost 8am now. Let me just sit down for a while.
However, the doctor came before Han Muzi managed to wait for the arrival of Song An and Yuchi Jin. He looked relieved after asking about the status of the patient. He smiled at Han Muzi as he saw that she was still nervous. “Mrs. Ye, right? Don’t be too nervous. As long as Mr. Ye gets through this period, there should be no danger. Furthermore, I’ve made observations and can say that there are no major problems with him. Did you spend the night here?”
Han Muzi shook her head. “No, my friends were standing guard here last night. They’ve all gone back to rest now.”
“Okay. Your complexion isn’t looking too good. Even if you’re worried about your husband, you must pay more attention to your body.”
“Thank you, doctor. May I ask; after this critical period, will he wake up? Or will the critical period only be considered to have passed after he wakes up?” Han Muzi knew that the doctor was very busy and might not have time to listen to her talk nonsense, but she could not help herself from asking these questions. She could only ask, and only after getting an affirmative answer would she be able to relax.
Nevertheless, the doctor did not get impatient after listening to her question. Instead, he stretched out his hand and lifted his glasses before saying softly, “Mrs. Ye, since you’re asking that, let me tell you the truth. It’s not our first time coming across Mr. Ye’s current situation, but the cases are always different.”
