Chapter 605 Muchen’s Grandmother
Ziyue's mouth fell agape, but she didn't utter a word.
She fell back on the chair and brushed her hair aside. For a long time, it was difficult for her to speak.
The change in temperament, the outbursts and paranoia, and the weird behaviors were the changes in Muchen.
No matter how much she was in denial, she could no longer deceive herself when the facts were right before her.
Muchen… has a hereditary mental illness.
Ziyue's thoughts were in disarray. Her gaze was fixed in a direction as she remained still.
Xiyi didn't interrupt her, knowing it would take her some time to accept this.
Ziyue got up and fetched herself a glass of water. After gulping it down, she sat opposite Xiyi and heaved a huge sigh before speaking, "I didn't know his family has such a history."
His parents had passed. The only remaining blood relatives were Yuchuan and Gong Zeyang, his half- brother of a different mother.
In the recent generations of the Gong family, there was no news of anyone with mental illnesses.
Gong Zeyang's grandfather passed away in his seventies due to a disease, while Gong Shuze died in jail in his forties. Gong Zeyang was still quite healthy, so it was unlikely that the Gong family had such a hereditary disease.
Hence, the remaining suspects were from the Mogwin family.
Li is dead, so it can't be her; Yuchuan is quite healthy, so he can be ruled out as well.
Who can it be?
The Mogwin family was a prestigious family with many branch families. The only person who was closely related to Muchen was Yuchuan. There was no news about mental illnesses in Li's generation.
After eliminating all the possibilities, Ziyue suddenly recalled Yuchuan's wife, the Countess of Augsburg, who was the most beloved daughter of Mogwin Castle's previous owner.
It had been a long time since she had passed. Her father, the previous leader of the Mogwin family, was quite old when she died. Since finding someone with the caliber to take on the huge responsibility was difficult, he took the objections head-on and appointed Yuchuan.
Fortunately, Yuchuan didn't let him down.
Under his leadership, the Mogwin family didn't suffer any declines. Instead, they became more prosperous.
Before going to Country J, Ziyue looked up the background of the Mogwin family. The death of
Yuchuan's wife could be easily found online – it was due to the final stage of lung cancer.
It was sad to see a person pass from such a disease.
Because of her mother's young death, Li became rebellious. Both of them were quite headstrong. They had a fight, and no one was willing to take a step back. That was why Li went to Country Z.
The only suspect was Yuchuan's wife, who was also Muchen's grandmother.
He couldn't remember much of his grandmother, so she was rarely mentioned.
Just when Xiyi wanted to say something, he saw her deep in her thoughts and stopped speaking.
She mentally sorted out the relationships between the various people. After that, she asked hesitantly, "How well do you know the Mogwin family, especially Muchen's grandmother?"
Xiyi felt the significance of her question and mulled it over before replying, "It's rumored that she passed from lung cancer."
"Could it be possible that the reason might be something else? It's not a glorious thing to die from a mental illness. The Mogwin family might have covered it up since it would affect the family's reputation. Could that be possible?"
Xiyi was thinking along the same lines. "If that can be confirmed, I can start looking into the treatment for Mr. Qin." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Dr. Mo," Ziyue called his name and stood up with a dire expression she had never once shown.
"Please keep this a secret. You know this is serious."
With that, she bowed deeply before him.
Xiyi remained silent – it was a tacit agreement.
A feeling of gratitude washed over Ziyue.
If Xiyi revealed this to Muchen's competitors, Muchen would be in huge trouble.
Though people claimed they would be understanding and open about sick people, society still harbored prejudice against the mentally unwell.
From another perspective, it was because of the uncertainty of the mental patients who might hurt others.
If Muchen's condition came to light, he might need to stay in a health facility or mental hospital.
It was difficult for Ziyue to imagine that.
I won't let that day come. I'll make sure he's cured before that happens.
…
Ziyue had no idea how she exited Mo Xiyue's lab. She had been there for several hours; it was noon when she left.
"Mrs. Qin."
After greeting her, the driver opened the door and waited for her to enter the car.
She was still in a daze after entering, looking out of the windows sullenly without saying anything.
As the car slowly moved, the driver asked, "Where are we heading next, Mrs. Qin?"
He noticed she was looking outside absent-mindedly without hearing his question.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was his work phone, and the caller was none other than Muchen.
"Yes, sir," he respectfully replied as he slowed down.
"Did Mrs. Qin go out?" His unique voice rang coldly.
The driver's expression immediately changed upon hearing that.
Muchen had once forbidden them to let Ziyue leave the house. However, a few days ago, he mentioned that it was fine.
From his current tone, the driver knew he was in trouble, but he didn't dare to tell the truth.
A slender hand took his phone away as he was about to reply through gritted teeth.
Turning around dumbfoundedly, he saw Ziyue putting her index finger on her lips, signaling him to keep quiet.
He quickly nodded and did as he was told.
Ziyue placed the phone by her ears and heard Muchen's enraged bellows.
"Are you deaf? I asked you a question! Give me a reply! Where did she go?"
