The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1403

Chapter 1403: Send Her Away

He Xiyan put her phone aside.

She didn’t think that he would respond at this late hour.

She was surprised to receive a reply in less than two minutes after she sent out the text message.

“Thank you, Yan Yan…”

It was a simple text message with a string of ellipses. It seemed like he wanted to tell her many things but couldn’t put them down in words.

Her lips curved into a smile as she read his message.

“I wish you all the best!” she thought to herself but she didn’t respond to his text.

It was yet another winter one year later.

Ye City’s winter this year seemed much colder as compared to previous years.

Mo Yixuan looked much better after going through four months of rehabilitation. His speech had returned to normal and he could walk slowly without relying on others.

He had almost recovered and only had some difficulties walking.

Mo Ling fetched him home on the 23rd of December after he had completed his check-up at the hospital.

Mo Ling hired several hired help so that the house wouldn’t seem so big and empty, including chefs, nurses, caretakers, drivers, security personnel, and so on.

“Dad…you should eat more,” Mo Ling said as he placed several sweet and sour pork ribs into his father’s bowl.

He was no longer as worried as before now that his dad had almost fully recovered.

Lin Wan was very happy and she seemed to have gotten used to life at the Mo mansion.

She was a divorcee and five years ago, her husband had gained custody of her only daughter Xiao Xiao so she no longer had any family. She had initially come to the Mo Mansion because she wanted to earn more money and planned to use the money to buy a house that she could retire comfortably in.

She sat beside Mo Yixuan and was about to put some food into her bowl when he gestured at her not to do so.

“Don’t worry about it. I can do it myself,” Mo Yixuan said.

His limbs were still a little stiff but he could finally look after his personal needs.

Lin Wan froze in surprise and looked appraisingly at Mo Yixuan for a brief moment.

She had been caring for this man in the past few months and had taken care of his every need, including helping him fill his rice bowl, putting food in his bowl, and even helping him shower and wash his hair.

Yet, he had…

Lin Wan’s heart dropped.

Did it mean that he was about to send her away now that he had fully recovered?

She turned pale at the thought.

She couldn’t explain it herself but she was reluctant to leave this place.

Mo Yixuan asked Mo Ling to come to his study after dinner and requested his son to close the door after he entered.

“Dad, what’s up?” Mo Ling asked.

Mo Yixuan smiled at his son. It was as though he came to accept many things and this meant that he was no longer as upset nor as anguished as he had been.

“I’d like to talk about Lin Wan,” Mo Yixuan said. “Give her a sum of money and ask her to leave. I can take care of myself.”

He sounded very calm.

Mo Ling paused in surprise and his brows soon creased into a slight frown.

He looked at his dad in confusion, “Dad, has she not been taking good care of you?”

Mo Ling had always thought that Auntie Lin was kind and gentle, and took extremely good care of his father.

He also had another reason for hiring Auntie Lin.

He had hoped that she would be able to stay by his father’s side.

His father had not remarried even after so many years and would need a companion as he grew older.
