After Mo Roulan hung up, Mo Chen continued to frown as he looked at the phone in his hand.
"Young Master, what happened?"
Butler Chi asked him when he saw him like this.
Mo Chen looked at Butler Chi and told him
"Jiejie won’t co. She needs to go to New York because of so company’s work."
"New York..."
Even Butler Chi sounded worried when he heard this.
"Young Miss will go alone to New York?"
Mo Chen didn’t know the answer so he didn’t know what to say. After so thought, he searched He Jian’s number on his phone.
The phone had been given to him by Chi Rong and as soon as he had got it, he had saved his Jiejie and He Jian’s number.
No need to ask how he got He Jian’s number.
He rembered it very well from his past life. However, when Mo Chen dialled the number, his frown deepened because the call didn’t connect.
He sighed when the call didn’t connect even after he tried twice and thrice.
In the end, Mo Chen could only give up. Since his sister was not here, Mo Chen was not in the mood of the shopping anymore so they went back to Chi Mansion.

Mo Roulan landed in New York after a long flight. She couldn’t sleep during the whole flight as she had been constantly thinking about her mother.
Now even though she was tired, she was not in any mood of having so rest.
When she switched on her phone, she saw there were a few ssages from Mo Chen, Chi Rong and the sa unknown number from which Shen Yiling had called.
She first texted Mo Chen that she had reached safely and then she braced her heart before opening the text sent by Shen Yiling.
Her body went slightly stiff when she saw that Shen Yiling had sent her address of the hospital. She even sent her a room number and from what Mo Roulan understood it could be the room, her mom was staying in.
Mo Roulan blinked vigorously the tears surfacing through her eyes.
Since Shen Yiling sent this precise information, did she have the reason to believe that she was lying?
Mo Roulan bit her lips. It took her a few monts to compose herself. When she did, she exited the airport and hired a taxi.
The whole way to the hospital, Mo Roulan had to clutch her hands that were trembling so hard.
So many thoughts were flashing her across her mind.
Why did her mother’s cancer resurface?
Could it be because...
Mo Roulan’s face went pale as she thought more and more.
"Ma’am, we are here."
She ca out of her thoughts when she heard the driver say.
"Y...yes"
Mo Roulan said as she got out of the car and paid the driver. The driver looked at her weirdly when he saw that she looked so pale and her hands were trembling.
"Ma’am are you alright?"
He asked in pure English but Mo Roulan didn’t seem to hear him at all. She paid him and then ran towards the hospital.
Once she was inside, she went inside the elevator and pressed the floor number Shen Yiling had sent her.
The ride seed to be taking more ti than she liked.
She just wanted to see her mother.
She didn’t want to think anything because her own thoughts were scaring her. She was scared to even think that her thoughts were right.
Was it she who was responsible for all this?
Fortunately, the door finally opened indicating she had reached the floor she wanted to.
A few monts later, she was finally in front of the room, she was looking for. However, as fast as she had run here, she couldn’t open the door that fast.
Her courage suddenly thinned down.
Licking her lips, Mo Roulan gathered her courage as she walked to the door.
Sowhere inside her heart she still prayed and hoped that Shen Yiling was just having fun with her.
She wouldn’t mind that she had spent all her savings on booking the tickets to New York and coming here.
She just wanted her mother to be healthy and happy.
However, when Mo Roulan opened the door and saw the person lying on the bed, she couldn’t lie to herself even if she wanted to.
The world seed to have frozen for her as she looked at the person on the bed.
Tears imdiately slid down her eyes as Mo Roulan walked inside the room and stepped closer to the bed.
She couldn’t even believe that the thin and frail woman lying on the bed was her mother.
How many days it had been since she last saw her mother? Mo Roulan tried to rember.
It might be slightly more than a week. Her mother was not this thin when she last saw her. But now...she looked so thin that Mo Roulan’s heart broke seeing her.
She opened her mouth to say sothing but her throat was too clogged with emotions and nothing ca out.
At the sa mont, the door of the room opened and Chi Rong who just stepped inside the room stood frozen when he saw Mo Roulan inside the room.
His eyes were wide with shock as he looked at Mo Roulan and then at his wife who was fast asleep on the bed.
Relief flashed through his eyes seeing that Lin Qianru was asleep. Suddenly, he walked to the bed, held Mo Roulan’s hand, and then dragged her out of the room.
Outside the room, Chi Rong was still holding Mo Roulan’s hand and asked her
"Roulan, what are you doing here?"
However, instead of answering him, Mo Roulan threw away his hand. Her face was full of tears as she looked at him with rage-filled eyes.
"You liar! You were lying to and Mo Chen all the ti. How can you hide such a huge thing from ?"
