Chapter 1265: I’m 40, What About You?
She helped him do his laundry and cooked for him just as she did when he was a child. Mo Ling didn’t turn down her kind gestures because he knew that this was how she expressed her love for him.
He rembered that there was once when Uncle Ye ca to visit after his mom had stayed with him for more than ten days.
Uncle Ye always tried to express his concern and asked whether he needed help or faced any difficulties but he rely thanked him with a smile. He didn’t need the man who his mother had married to treat him well. All he wanted was for Uncle Ye to love his mother wholeheartedly.
His mother spent 7 days with him this trip and during this ti, he would bring his mother out on walks, head to nearby places to sketch, and take her to concerts, and so on. His mother seed very reluctant to part with him at the end of the trip and this ti, she even burst into tears. However, she also told him to take good care of his father before she left.
His life seed very quiet after his mother left and a sense of normalcy returned to his life but everything changed on the day of his graduation.
He hastily bought a flight to Ye City before his graduation ceremony was over.
The person who called him was his father’s assistant nad Wang An.
Mr. Wang sounded extrely anxious as he said, “Mo Ling, your father suddenly fainted in the office. We’ve already sent him to the accident and ergency departnt of the hospital. Do you think you’d be able to co ho now?”
Mo Ling froze in shock and he felt as though soone had smacked him over the head with a wooden stick because his vision seed to blur.
After he recovered from his shock, he ran out of the hall where the ceremony was held like a madman and quickly drove toward the airport.
He arrived at Ye City on the evening of the sa day and by the ti he arrived, his father had already completed his surgery.
He saw his father on the hospital bed hooked up to several monitors that would monitor his vital stats. His father looked like he had aged a lot. His face was very pale and he looked very haggard.
He called out to his father several tis but his father didn’t hear him because he was still sleeping. Soon, a doctor called him into his office.
“Are you Mr. Mo’s son, Mo Ling?” the doctor asked and he sounded slightly worried.
Mo Ling nodded and asked, “Doctor, is my dad not doing well?”
The doctor breathed in deeply and looked a little solemn as he handed a report to Mo Ling.
“Your father had a sudden stroke but thankfully, we managed to treat him in ti. His surgery is also considered to be a success. However, he might not be able to walk as well as he did before or show signs of speech impairnt. He would not be able to work as hard as he did before even after he recovers,” the doctor said.
His words were like a dash of cold water.
Mo Ling opened his mouth but couldn’t find anything to say.
He knew his father well and also knew that being paralyzed would be like a fate worse than death to his father.
He didn’t dare imagine how his proud and outstanding father would react to this news.
“How did his condition deteriorate so quickly?” Mo Ling asked. He rembered that his father was healthy and well when he last saw him several months ago and had been living a normal lifestyle.
The doctor sighed and shook his head.
“He didn’t take care of his own health. If I’m not wrong, does he smoke, consu a lot of alcohol, overwork himself, and stay up late at night?” he asked.
Mo Ling was speechless.
He felt as though sothing had buried itself in his heart and his breathing felt labored.
He rembered that his father was always smoking since he was a child.
