"You..." Yan Xiyue couldn't finish speaking when the phone rang. She immediately glared at Lin Momo and said, "Wait until I finish this call and I'll deal with you!"

Before Yan Xiyue could say anything after the call connected, a furious roar came from the other end: "You brat, you finally decided to come back? Staying with that crazy girl will only get you killed sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiyue quickly glanced at Lin Momo and found her glaring at her angrily. Clearly, Lin Momo was upset. She hurriedly spoke into the phone, "Dad, Momo's friend is sick. We just came back to visit. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble..."

"Hmph, not causing trouble? There's a deluge of negative news about you and your friend everywhere, and you're telling me you're not causing trouble! Get away from that crazy girl right now, or I'll disown you as my daughter!" The voice on the other end of the phone was furious.

"Dad, I..." Yan Xiyue was about to say something when the other end of the phone hung up.

Yan Xiyue's eyes were slightly red. She looked up at Lin Momo and found that she wasn't paying attention to her. She said angrily, "My father wants to sever ties with me. Are you satisfied now?"

Lin Momo frowned, her face dark, and said, "He's the one who's stubborn and won't let us be together. Why is he blaming me for everything?"

Yan Xiyue was furious and shouted, "It's fine if you don't have a father, but you're so happy that I don't have a dad!"

"What do you mean it doesn't matter that I don't have a father?" Lin Momo retorted angrily. "Don't you know how much I've sacrificed for you? Do you think I'm some rich kid your father sets you up on blind dates with every day? They can rely on their fathers, but I have to fight for my life!"

"So I've sacrificed less! I've wandered with you for you, you work day and night while I'm alone at home worrying and fearing. Do you think I'm living a good life?" Yan Xiyue's eyes reddened with anger.

"What? You've changed your mind? Ha, you're the one who willingly followed me!" Lin Momo's face flushed with anger.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiyue burst into tears. "Lin Momo, you bastard!"

A pretty nurse nearby saw them arguing and quickly spoke up, "Gentlemen, please stop arguing. This is a hospital."

Yan Xiyue glared at the nurse, then at Lin Momo, and turned to leave.

Lin Momo immediately yelled, "Where are you going! Come back!"

"I'm going home to see my parents!" Yan Xiyue said without turning her head.

"You..." Lin Momo wanted to chase after her, but suddenly everything went black and she felt dizzy. She shook her head and returned to normal, but when she looked up again, Yan Xiyue was gone.

Lin Momo wanted to chase after her, but after a few steps, her head started to throb with pain. She quickly leaned against the wall, finding it difficult to even breathe. A beautiful nurse rushed over to help her, asking, "How are you? Are you alright? Sit down and rest for a bit."

Lin Momo sat down to rest for a while before feeling a bit better.

"You look very uncomfortable, do you want to get a check-up?" the pretty nurse asked with concern.

Lin Momo waved her hand, "No need, thank you. I'm fine. I'm just a little weak because I haven't eaten."

The pretty nurse nodded. "If you need any help, you can come to the nurses' station to find me. My name is January."

Lin nodded silently and thanked her again.

After leaving in January, Lin Momo covered her head in pain and took out her phone to call Dean Gao.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Dean Gao's voice came through.

"It seems my old injury has flared up again. Please give me a check-up in a bit," Lin said softly.

"OK."

During Lin Momo's phone call, January, who was hiding in the shadows, heard everything clearly.

Dean Gao's office has a secret room, which is Lin Momo's private consultation room. It has been cleaned but never used. Dean Gao's expression turned somewhat grim after examining Lin Momo.

"Speak your mind directly, there's no need to hide anything," Lin said quietly.

"This..." Dean Gao glanced at Lin Momo and said in a low voice, "Back then, the boss was injured in the war zone. Due to unfavorable surgical conditions, the shrapnel in his head could not be removed. Afterwards, the surgery also carried many risks. Now, this injury may have lingering consequences."

Lin Momo frowned, fully aware of the seriousness of the problem. "What kind of aftereffects might there be?"

"I'm afraid that if this continues for a long time, it will cause blindness..." Dean Gao glanced at Lin Momo cautiously.

Lin Momo didn't show much emotion, but nodded and said expressionlessly, "I understand."

Lin silently instructed, "No one is allowed to tell about this, not even Yan Xiyue!"

Dean Gao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

Lin Momo was once seriously injured during a breakout from the war zone. The last second before she collapsed, she told her subordinates that they must not tell Yan Xiyue about her injury. She was unconscious for half a month before waking up. This was the first time she had left Yan Xiyue alone at home for so long—and it was also the time that Yan Xiyue held a grudge about.

Yan Xiyue waited in the car for a long time but didn't see Lin Momo come out to chase her. She was furious: "Since you're not going to chase me, I'm going home!"

After leaving Dean Gao's office, Lin Momo walked into Gu Liyan's ward as if nothing had happened. She found that Gu Liyan was already asleep and asked in a low voice, "Is he alright?"

Hua Baixian smiled and nodded. "She's fine now. She talked to me a lot and got a little tired, so she went to sleep."

Lin nodded silently. "It's good that you're alright."

Hua Baixian looked at Lin Momo with some surprise. "You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Momo was taken aback and quickly waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll just go out and get something to eat." Seeing that Gu Liyan was alright, Lin Momo didn't linger and turned to leave the ward.

As she came out, she bumped into Hua Yuxian, who was about to go in. Hua Yuxian glanced at Lin Momo and whispered, "The feeling of losing your sight is not pleasant!"

Lin Momo paused, looking at Hua Yuxian in surprise, but Hua Yuxian just smiled and walked into the ward.
