Chapter 2503 - 307
Chapter 2503: Chapter 307
A loud phone ringtone interrupted the silence in the ward, along with the unease hidden deep in Ye Zhan’s eyes.
Momo helped Ye Zhan pick up the phone.
He didn’t answer, just asked blandly, "Who’s calling?"
"Secretary Liu."
"Answer it for me."
Ye Zhan used his eyes to indicate to her that both of his hands were not convenient for answering.
Momo shook her head, "I’ll switch on the speakerphone for you."
After saying that, she directly turned on the speakerphone and then got up to go to the bathroom.
She didn’t necessarily want to be involved in whatever Secretary Liu was contacting him about.
Now she was already very conflicted, as she could never refuse Ye Zhan, knowing well that he wasn’t as incapable of taking care of himself as he claimed.
More than anything, he wanted to gain her sympathy.
But she frustratingly just couldn’t resist his pitiful looks, tainted by her overflowing maternal instincts.
In the ward, Ye Zhan turned his head to look toward the bathroom, a faint "hello" slipping from his thin lips.
His thoughts, however, were entirely on the bathroom, and whatever Secretary Liu said on the phone made the expression between Ye Zhan’s brows momentarily grim.
A hint of sarcasm flickered in his deep eyes, "You don’t need to intervene, just watch what they’ll do next."
In the bathroom, Momo stood before the mirror, looking at her own delicate features, which appeared especially thin.
The inner turmoil couldn’t be resolved no matter what.
A low notification sound went off, and she pulled out her phone to check.
[Junior Sister, are you still at the hospital?]
[Yes.]
[The station chief wants to visit Young Master Ye. Is it convenient now?]
The message was from Huo Song.
Momo read the message, then looked up toward the door.
Though the door blocked her view of Ye Zhan on the hospital bed outside, after some hesitation, she gently typed a reply:
[Ye Zhan is asleep now, let’s do it tomorrow.]
[Alright, I’ll inform the station chief.]
Just as Momo finished washing her hands and was about to leave, a call from the station chief came through.
The chief asked if Ye Zhan was seriously injured. Momo exchanged a few words and told a little lie, preventing the chief from coming to the hospital.
The chief also mentioned that he was unaware of her return and suggested they gather sometime now that she’s back, and to return to work after enough rest.
After the call, Momo stepped out of the ward, only to meet Ye Zhan’s waiting gaze as she looked up.
Her heart skipped a beat unintentionally.
A few minutes later, Secretary Liu returned with porridge.
Momo took it, and Secretary Liu said he had some matters to attend to, asking her to take care of Ye Zhan.
Momo had no choice but to agree.
After closing the door, she brought the porridge to the bedside and casually asked, "I didn’t see Yi Ze when I came in, where did he go?"
"He went to handle some personal affairs."
"Then should I have Junming come over later?"
"No need, they’ll be heading back soon."
Ye Zhan wore a gentle smile at the corner of his lips, his eyes warm as he looked at her.
"You should eat this porridge first, and I’ll go to the market later to buy some ingredients."
"Momo, I don’t want to stay in the hospital. Let’s leave after the IV drip is done."
"How can that be?"
"It’s fine, I just live next door to Jinchen’s house. If the wound really gets inflamed or something, I can call him to have Tongtong come over to take care of it, or come back to the hospital if needed. There’s nothing else to do after the IV drip."
It does sound quite reasonable.
"I used to get injured frequently and didn’t have time for hospital stays, so it’s nothing."
Momo looked at Ye Zhan’s smiling handsome face, nodded, with a small smile gracing her brows, "So, you’re saying this injury is not a big deal, no need for hospitalization."
"Yes, no need for hospitalization."
"Then I don’t need to cook for you, you can handle that yourself, right?"
Ye Zhan: ...
He really shot himself in the foot.
Smart all his life, but sometimes foolish.
Momo placed the porridge on the small table in front of him, saying lightly, "Your IV drip is almost done. I’ll call the nurse, and you can drink the porridge once the needle is removed."
"Momo."
"Hmm."
Momo directly pressed the call button on the bed.
Ye Zhan secretly cursed himself for being so stupid.
