Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Took Away His Heart_1

Mu’s mother shook her head weakly, her face pale, "I didn’t know... I didn’t know he couldn’t be agitated... If I had known he had a heart condition, I would never have provoked him like that, I only found out afterwards..."

As she spoke, Mu’s mother’s emotions became somewhat uncontrollable, and her expression was very pained.

When she learned of Yingchen’s father’s car accident and his instant death, she was dumbfounded on the spot. She always felt that something was amiss. Having just had a big argument with him at home and then a car accident occurring not long after he left—it didn’t matter how she thought about it, it seemed somewhat related to her.

Only then did the old patriarch Mu accidentally reveal the fact that Yingchen’s father had a heart condition.

Leaving aside whether he had a heart condition, the reason he rushed out was directly related to her.

If they had not argued, if he had not left the house in a huff and driven away, then his heart condition would not have suddenly erupted, and he would not have met with that accident, even losing his life...

Mu Zetian sighed heavily, "You were just pregnant with Yingchen at the time, so I couldn’t bring myself to blame you. After Yingchen was born, you took on the task of caring for him tirelessly and handled the company’s affairs... At that time I thought, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and blaming you further would be futile! Besides, this incident couldn’t all be blamed on you alone, you truly didn’t know about his health condition, so I decided to let that tragedy sink into the long stream of history..."

"Alas..." He looked at Mu’s mother with a disappointed expression, his tone desolate, "But I didn’t expect you to be so persistent, unable to walk out of that hatred... Lanzhi ah... You are Yingchen’s mother; you should consider his feelings before doing anything. This time... if it wasn’t for your stubbornness, how would he have ended up like this..."

The more Mu Zetian spoke, the heavier his tone became. Now he only had this precious grandson; if anything were to happen to him, he wouldn’t be able to face living in this world, and even in death, he would be ashamed to meet the ancestors of the Mu Family...

Mu’s mother was overwhelmed with shame by the old patriarch Mu’s words...

"Dad... you’re right to scold me. I’ll be careful in the future..." The way Yingchen was now also tormented her; which mother would want to see her son lying in a hospital bed? But whenever it came to matters regarding that woman, she couldn’t help but lose her reason and do some extreme things...

"I heard that the daughter of the Su Family is Su Qinglong’s granddaughter?" Seeing that Mu’s mother seemed willing to repent, the old patriarch Mu did not continue to blame her and began to inquire about another matter of concern...

"Yes, Dad, that’s what those people said that day. They said that Su Wanxia is the long-lost granddaughter of Su Qinglong..."

"I only knew a bit about the matter initially; I never expected those rumors to be true, that he actually has blood relatives lost to the outside world..." Mu Zetian sighed with emotion, and what surprised him even more was that his grandson had somehow become entangled with his granddaughter. He wondered whether Su Qinglong, that heathen, would come to trouble the Mu Family when he found out...

Thinking of that difficult character, the old patriarch Mu couldn’t help but rub his temples, the thought alone giving him a headache...

"Take me to see Yingchen..." He said tiredly, rising from the sofa.

Mu’s mother also hurriedly stood up, "Mmm, I’ll take you to him..."

"Mmm..."

They arrived outside the hospital room and looked through the transparent glass at the handsome young man lying asleep on the bed.

After a long time, Mu Zetian turned to the butler standing beside him and asked.

"Wen Bin... When will Yingchen wake up..."

The butler paused for a moment before answering respectfully, "That depends on how the young master’s wounds heal."

Mu Zetian hummed heavily and nodded his head.

Days came and went, stars shifted across the skies... In the blink of an eye, three months passed—

The handsome young man who had been sleeping for a long time finally showed signs of awakening...

His long eyelashes trembled gently, looking exceptionally beautiful, and then... his handsome eyelids slowly lifted, revealing his entrancing obsidian-like eyes...

Right now, his eyes were full of bewilderment, seemingly unable to distinguish whether he was in a dream or reality...

His mind was a blank slate; for a moment, he even forgot who he was, what his name was...

But immediately afterward, those overwhelming memories swept through his mind like a gale, and in an instant, he felt his heart tremble fiercely again...

"Young Master... relax, stay emotionally stable..." the butler Zhou by his side said, soothing him as he observed his heart rate.

Mu Yingchen was fully aware of what was happening to his body; the moment he witnessed her leaving, he knew that he could not avoid this ordeal.

Because his heart was no longer under his control, his condition was even more beyond his grasp.

"Yingchen, you’ve finally awakened; you scared Grandfather half to death," Mu’s elder stated, standing by the bed, unable to hide his urgent tone.

Mu Yingchen then noticed that there were other people by his bed. Hearing his grandfather’s words, he managed to stretch his lips into a rigid smile.

He hadn’t spoken for a long time and felt as if his throat was coated with rust, making it hard to produce a sound.

"Young Master, it’s normal for your throat to be uncomfortable after just waking up; drinking some water will help,"

Butler Zhou, seeing his furrowed brows, knew what he wanted to do.

Mu Yingchen nodded slightly, then cast his gaze toward his mother, whose face was colored with exhaustion.

Mu’s mother, with tears welling in her eyes, was relieved. After so long, her son had finally awakened unharmed.

Mu Zetian, upon seeing his grandson awaken, let out a heavy sigh of relief. But seeing his weak state, he turned to Mu’s mother and the others and said, "Yingchen has just awakened, and his body is still very weak. Let’s all go back now and let him rest properly—"

"Yes."

Mu’s elder and Mu’s mother left one after another. Butler Zhou gave Mu Yingchen another checkup and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master—your wound is healing well, but to recover completely, you need to stay calm and try not to think too much about things."

Mu Yingchen, hearing these words, closed his eyes tiredly; not thinking too much, for now, was something he couldn’t do...

Since he had awakened, he had lost count of how many times he had thought about the events that occurred before he fell unconscious.

He had to say it: once again, he had been abandoned by her—

Every time he thought of what she had said, his heart uncontrollably trembled as if those events had happened only yesterday.

She had said, "Mu Yingchen, it was you who gave up on me."

She had said, "Without me, you can live well just the same."

Is that true? Is it really?

It was clearly she who gave up on him—

Without her by his side, he couldn’t feel a trace of happiness, even when he smiled at his grandfather, it felt so forced—

She was gone... Taking his heart with her, and all his happiness with it—

How much longer would such a life continue? A year? Two years? Or perhaps—a lifetime?
