25 Surrounded

When Neil Mo arrived at the hospital, his driver Old Tang was waiting for him at the entrance. The elder man led him into the hospital towards one of the wards. Because of his visit, no one paid much attention to him. However for a few people who could recognize Neil. After all, his face was everywhere in the newspaper after his brother had passed away.

Neil Mo lowered his head as he followed Old Tang to the wards. At this time, Auntie Ann's treatment had finished and she had regained her consciousness.

"P-President Mo," Auntie Ann tried to sit up straight when she saw President Mo walked in. He stopped the elder lady from sitting up when he saw the painful expression on her face.

"Auntie, how are you?"

"I'm alright," Auntie Ann answered as she pulled at the blanket on her chest. "President Mo, I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for? It was not your fault." Neil frowned as he looked at her leg cast.

"Hazel… I won't be able to look after her because of my injury," Auntie Ann said. "President Mo, I hope that you won't tell Hazel about this."

"Auntie Ann, you don't have to worry about this. The most important thing is that you should get enough rest and recuperate well," Neil said. "Regarding the runaway driver, I have asked the police to find him."

The elderly lady nodded.

"I have arranged for a caretaker to look after you while you're in the hospital," Neil said. "She should be here soon."

"President Mo, you don't have to worry. My son will come over to look after me. He should be here soon."

"Auntie, you don't have to be polite. You have to look after Hazel for years. Auntie Ann, please don't reject this. Arranging someone to look after you was the only thing I can do."

After hearing the man's words, Auntie Ann finally accepted his kindness.

Neil Mo had a brief chat with Nanny Ann and left the ward after five minutes to let the elderly woman rest. Anyway, he still needed to go over to the kindergarten to pick up his niece.

He stepped into the corridor and turned to the Old Tang. "How is Nanny Ann's condition?"

"The doctor said Nanny Ann broke her left leg. It might take her about two months to heal, or later," Old Tang said. "She had a few bruises on her body, other than that, she seemed alright."

"Old Tang, you look after Nanny Ann and have the doctor give her the best treatment. I will take care of the bills." Neil Mo said. "Find something for her to eat. After that, you may go home. I will take the car and drive myself today."

"Yes. President Mo." Old Tang handed the car keys to Neil and watched him as he entered the elevator.

Neil went to the basement to look for his car and soon drove over to the kindergarten.

He arrived just in time just as the other parents were fetching their kids from the kindergarten. When he parked his car, the parents turned their heads towards the car and started to discuss among themselves.

Although everyone was expecting to see the elder driver come over, they were still expecting that the President of MH Group will come over himself to pick up the young miss.

When the driver's side of the door swung open, the others began to sigh in disappointment, knowing that the driver will be the one to pick up Hazel as usual.

Just as the parents turned around, Neil stepped out of the vehicle.

One of the parents noticed him and immediately signaled the others. A lot of them were watching him, starstruck. Most of those who were presented were young mothers. Of course, they will not waste the chance to look at the handsome man. Some of them even took out their phone to snap a few pictures.

As the President of MH Group, Neil Mo is famous in the city. When the chairman fell ill years ago, MH Group nearly fell along. Neil and his brother teamed up and take over the company. In a short span, he managed to convince everyone with his skills. The Mo brothers stabilized the company and helped it grew further.

Everyone was amazed as the two brothers were still in their twenties as they do that.

At that time, many had tried to approach the brothers through marriage. A few of those from the prestigious families would try to introduce their daughter to them. They failed as Neil Mo was difficult to approach, while his younger brother, Adam Mo had no one but his childhood sweetheart in his eyes. As their elders had long decided not to interfere in their sons' marriage, the young ladies and their parents had no way to get close to the brothers.

A lot of them gave up to pursue the brothers and a few were persistent to keep on trying. Among the young mothers, there were two of them who had once tried to pursue Neil Mo.

As they watched Neil came over to pick up his niece, the two ladies began to regret that they have given up too soon.

Neil Mo stepped towards the kindergarten as he ignored his surrounding. He gave his identification to the guard and waited with his head tilted down to avoid making eye contact with the others. It would be troublesome if some of them decided to initiate a conversation later.

A couple of minutes of waiting, his niece, Hazel Mo appeared at the door. The little girl's smile widened as she saw him. "Uncle!"

His lips curled into a smile when he watched the little girl greeted him excitedly. He patted Hazel on her soft hair and asked, "Did you behave well today?"

Hazel nodded enthusiastically. She glanced towards her teacher who stood behind her and spoke, "You can ask Teacher Qian!"

Edith nodded along. "En. En. Hazel behaved well today."

Hazel turned to her uncle with a smug smile on her face. She turned around and was surprised upon seeing the young mothers were staring at her. The way they were looking at her was making her... uncomfortable.

Subconsciously, her hand tightened around her uncle's.

Noticing his niece's discomfort, Neil looked up and noticed that his appearance had caused a commotion.

Edith let out a sigh upon seeing the parents gaze on the uncle and niece. The mothers were checking up on Neil as it was a rare occasion to see him closely, while the fathers were seeking for a chance to talk to him and hope that they initiate a conversation and talk about business.

If he was alone, he would not hesitate to ignore everyone. But right now, Hazel was with him and he was afraid she would get hurt.

Moreover, his mother had reminded him to be nice to other parents or else, Hazel might suffer when the parents would ask their kids to ignore his niece.

At this moment, Neil was hesitant at what he should do.

Looking at the situation, it was as if they were surrounded by a pack of wolves.

"President Mo," Edith let out a dry cough and hoped to catch his attention. A smile curled on her lips when he turned to look at her. "Didn't you say you were going to see the headmistress? Why don't you come in first?"

Neil stared back at the young teacher. He then nodded once he realized her intention to help them. "Alright."
