Xie Wu looked at Huo Yingjie and asked for Huo Yingjie's consent.

"Go ahead, try your best to comfort the elderly and don't let them get upset," Huo Yingjie said. "Take good care of Zhou Yuanchao's family along the way."

After all, I'm getting older and need to put in more effort.

"Yes, sir," Xie Wu replied, then turned and left.

He Tiantian thought for a moment, then took out a wad of cash from her bag and said, "Xie Wu, this is for round-trip train tickets. Don't forget to buy tickets for Zhou Yuanchao's family."

"Yes, sister-in-law," Xie Wu replied, taking the money.

He only had enough money for his own round-trip ticket; he didn't have any extra money to buy tickets for others.

After explaining these things, He Tiantian looked at the people in the room and said, "I'm sorry to have worried my grandfather, grandmother, aunt, and uncle."

"Oh, what a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!" said Madam Huo. "You've really gone through a lot."

“Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I haven’t sent a telegram to them yet, what do you think?” He Tiantian asked. There were still two weeks until the holiday, and she was a little hesitant, wondering whether she should send a telegram to her parents-in-law.

Everyone looked at Old Master Huo, letting the head of the family make the decision.

Grandpa Huo thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother notifying them. I just asked the doctor, and Yingjie can be discharged in a couple of days. Anyway, my second son and his wife will be returning to Yanjing in half a month. We can explain to them then."

"That's fine," said Madam Huo. "It's the end of the year, a busy time for summarizing and reviewing various things. They are indeed very busy, so let's not talk to them about it."

"Zhegan, Yingjun, you two must quickly investigate the cause of this matter and put pressure on them," said Old Master Huo. "My grandson has had a very unfortunate fate, getting into trouble time and time again. Our Huo family keeps a low profile, which makes some people look down on us."

"Yes, Father," Huo Zhegan said in a deep voice. His nephew had gotten into trouble right under his nose; how could he explain it to his second brother?

"Alright, you may leave now," said Old Master Huo. "You must handle this matter well and let them know the power of the Huo family."

"Yes, Grandfather." Huo Yingjun nodded and left with his father.

When He Tiantian saw Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo, who were indignant, she comforted them, saying, "Grandfather, Grandmother, it's cold. You should go back first. I'll stay at the hospital with you."

"How can we feel at ease leaving you alone?" said Madam Huo, looking at He Tiantian with her heavy dark circles under her eyes, feeling a pang of heartache.

Song Chunli hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, you should go back first. I'll stay here and help Tiantian take care of Yingjie."

Old Madam Huo was somewhat surprised, not expecting her eldest daughter-in-law to be able to change her mind at such a crucial moment.

“Second brother, your wife isn’t here, and you’re both getting old. If I, as your aunt, don’t take good care of my nephew, I won’t have the face to face them when they return to Yanjing.” Song Chunli said with a smile, “I’ll take care of things here, Dad, Mom, you should go back first.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Huo and Grandpa Huo nodded and said, "Alright, we'll go to Mao'er Hutong first. Tian Tian, ​​don't worry about the children at home; we'll help look after them. At noon, we'll have someone prepare lunch and deliver it to you."

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." He Tiantian nodded slightly. She was already worried about her family, afraid that Grandma Wang wouldn't be able to take care of the three children, and also worried that the three children would easily catch a cold in the cold weather if they went out to play.

"We're all family, no need to thank me!" said Madam Huo. "Yingjie, you should get some rest. With us here, you won't be able to sleep properly, and it will only delay your rest even more."

"Grandpa and Grandma, please be careful on the road and don't catch a cold from the cold wind," Huo Yingjie reminded them. He felt guilty that the two elderly people had braved the wind and snow to come over.

I never imagined there were so many spies right under the emperor's nose! His job must have been incredibly enticing.

"Yes!" Old Madam Huo nodded and left with Old Master Huo, returning to He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's home in Mao'er Hutong.

After her parents-in-law left, Song Chunli smiled and said, "Tian Tian, ​​Ying Jie, if there's anything you need, just tell me and I'll do it."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'm fine for now," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "Don't tire yourself out, Auntie."

"It's alright. I can't help with anything else, but I can do some small things." Song Chunli said as she picked up the thermos, which was almost empty. "You guys talk, I'll go get some more hot water."

"Thank you, Auntie," Huo Yingjie said gratefully.

"You're welcome, it's nothing." Song Chunli took the thermos and went out.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Actually, my aunt is a pretty good person."

"Hehe, it's alright," Huo Yingjie said. "Come on, help me to the toilet."

He Tiantian was taken aback, her face flushed slightly, but then she realized that if she didn't help, someone else would have to take him to the toilet.

"Okay, take it easy," He Tiantian said, helping Huo Yingjie to the bathroom.

Huo Yingjie brought a cane, so He Tiantian didn't need to follow him into the men's restroom.

After Huo Yingjie was released, He Tiantian washed his hands and helped him to his hospital bed.

Song Chunli had already brought hot water and poured a cup for Huo Yingjie, saying, "You guys have some water."

"No need, Auntie," He Tiantian said. "Auntie, Yingjie is sleeping. Could you keep an eye on him for me? I'm going to check on Wang Ying. I'm worried she might get emotional if she's alone over there."

“Go ahead, go ahead, that’s a benefactor of our Huo family,” Song Chunli said. “Don’t worry about Yingjie.”

He Tiantian smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."

After helping Huo Yingjie lie down, He Tiantian left.

Wang Ying's eyes were bloodshot, but she still stared intently at the clock on the wall.

He Tiantian poured Wang Ying a glass of water and said, "Wang Ying, have some water."

Knowing she couldn't persuade Wang Ying, He Tiantian stopped trying and silently stayed by her side.

Sometimes Wang Ying would get up, go to the side of the intensive care unit, and look inside through the glass window.

Around midnight, Zhou Yuanchao woke up again and saw Wang Ying and He Tiantian standing outside the window. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Zhou Yuanchao was frightened, but also relieved that he hadn't died.

He still has a wife, children, parents, and a sister—people who need him.

However, Zhou Yuanchao did not regret doing such a thing, and he would do it again even if it happened again.

In his mind, as long as the boss was around, everything else could be saved.

It seems he made the right bet this time.

Seeing her husband crying, Wang Ying, afraid of upsetting him, quickly wiped away her tears.

Dr. Liu went in, performed another examination, and smiled, "You've passed the critical period, but you're still quite weak. You need to rest more and avoid getting too emotional."

Zhou Yuanchao blinked, and that was enough for him to understand.

After receiving the doctor's diagnosis, Wang Ying and He Tiantian could finally rest assured.

When lunch was delivered from home, He Tiantian prepared extra food for Wang Ying so she could eat more.
