Chapter 2541: Chapter 345

In the few days at Imperial City, Momo and Ye Zhan visited Old Master Ye several times.

Looking at the old man lying silently on the hospital bed, Momo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

That night, when Ye Zhan went out to take a call, she sat by the bedside, looking at Old Master Ye with a smile and said, "Grandpa, are you afraid that if you wake up, Ye Zhan will hold you accountable, so you don’t dare to wake up?"

"You’ve been asleep for over a year, you don’t intend to stay this way forever, do you? What if one day Ye Zhan and I get married and you miss it, wouldn’t you regret it?"

"Grandpa, Ye Zhan and Uncle Ye don’t get along very well, you know. If you don’t wake up, and they cut off their father-son relationship, then you won’t have a grandson anymore. I’ll just take Ye Zhan back to G City with me, and let him take my surname, Mo."

"We’re heading back to G City tomorrow. You know Ye Zhan is in G City now and doesn’t have much time to come back. If you don’t wake up, he definitely won’t come back for the New Year this year."

...

Late at night, Ye Zhan’s phone rang urgently.

"Ye Zhan, go answer the phone."

She couldn’t hear what the other person was saying, only saw a change in Ye Zhan’s expression.

After a moment’s pause, he said, "Okay, I’ll head to the hospital now."

After hanging up, he didn’t even look back immediately.

His back was turned to Momo.

"Who was the call from, is something wrong?"

"Momo, I have to go to the hospital now. You get some sleep, I’ll be back later."

"What are you going to the hospital for? Be serious."

Momo slapped away his hand that was taking advantage of her.

"Grandpa woke up, I’m going to see him."

"I’m coming too."

"It’s really late, go see him tomorrow."

"No way, I’m going with you now, I won’t be able to sleep if you leave anyway."

"Is that so?"

Ye Zhan chuckled lowly.

Momo knew what he was thinking, so she made it worse, "Can’t sleep without you."

"..."

Ye Zhan gritted his teeth. "Mm, I’ll remember that."

"..."

Momo: Great, now I’ve upset him again.

2:00 AM at the Imperial Capital Hospital.

Old Master Ye had Ye Zhangming and Ye Zhan leave, saying he wanted to talk to Momo.

Ye Zhangming’s expression changed, and he turned to look at Ye Zhan.

Ye Zhan kept a cold face, worried that the newly awakened Old Master would get upset enough to fall back into a coma. He tried hard to suppress his temper but was resolute and uncompromising, saying, "Grandpa, whatever you want to say, you can just say it to both Momo and me."

As he said this, he tightly held Momo’s hand, with a slight cold anger between his brows.

The atmosphere became tense.

Old Master Ye glared at Ye Zhan in frustration, "I just want to say a few words to Little Momo alone, you don’t think I’ll eat her, do you?"

"It’s not that you’ll eat Momo, but you could harm her."

"You little rascal..."

"Dad, don’t get worked up. You just woke up. You can talk to Momo another day..."

Ye Zhangming spoke while signaling to Old Master Ye with his eyes.

He had just arrived at the hospital and hadn’t exchanged a few words with the Old Master.

He hadn’t had the chance to tell him about what had happened between Ye Zhan and Momo during the time he was asleep. Even though he had mentioned it before, the Old Master was then in a coma and wouldn’t have known.

Ye Zhan ignored the little hints Ye Zhangming was giving to the Old Master and stood there straight as a mountain, unyielding.

"Grandpa, you have a good rest. Momo and I will see you tomorrow."

"Aren’t you two leaving tomorrow?" Old Master Ye pushed Ye Zhangming’s hand away. After lying for over a year, his injuries had healed long ago, and now he wanted to sit up in his excitement.

Stubbornly, he said, "Why don’t you ask Little Momo if she’s willing to have a chat with me? She said so much to me tonight, it wouldn’t be stingy for a few words now."

Ye Zhan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Not just him, but also the two hospital staff in the room, Ye Zhangming, and the Momo held by Ye Zhan, all looked astonished.

Did Old Master Ye hear all that Momo had said to him tonight?

Momo gently struggled with the hand held by Ye Zhan, raised her eyes to silently signal him that she would only talk to Old Master Ye for a bit.

Ye Zhan was still unwilling.

Momo simply looked at him like that.

After a few seconds of standoff, Ye Zhan couldn’t resist Momo’s soft and pitiful gaze, released her hand, and before leaving the room, reminded Old Master Ye, "Don’t have any ideas about Momo."

"..."

Old Master Ye was left dumbfounded by the warning.

Watching his grandson leave the room in a huff, he rolled his eyes and then signaled for Ye Zhangming and the two hospital staff to leave as well.

In the room, only Momo and Old Master Ye were left.

Momo saw Old Master Ye looking intently at her and smiled gently, "Grandpa Ye, congratulations on waking up."

"Drop the last name, I prefer you calling me Grandpa." Although Old Master Ye had just awoken, his voice was strong, not at all weak.

Momo pressed her lips but didn’t comply.

Old Master Ye then pointed to the chair by the bed, "Little Momo, sit down."

Momo obediently sat down.

"Do you hate me?"

Old Master Ye’s gaze was somewhat sharp as he watched Momo, and this inexplicable question made her face pause.

She soon realized what he meant.

She gave a faint smile, her tone calm as water, "It was my choice. Why should I hate you?"

"But I selfishly sacrificed you to save my grandson," Old Master Ye sighed and said truthfully, "Little Momo, you know, even if I could do it all over again, I would still do the same."

Momo instinctively tightened her lips. In her pocket, her hand gently clenched.

"If given a second chance, I would make the same choice."

A few seconds later, her voice was soft, without any hesitation or regret, echoing in the quiet hospital room.

She loves Ye Zhan.

Although the time they knew, met, and loved each other was short, too short to count as a real romance and without any fond memories, the love had inexplicably seeped into her bones.

Willing to give up even herself for him.
