Chapter 615 Housekeeping

“You…you…”

Huo Junshan said "you" twice but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" from the microphone, followed by a rustling noise and a woman's scream, "Sir...!"

Maybe the phone's receiver was broken, so the sound wasn't very clear.

"Sir, are you okay? ... I'll go get you some medicine right away."

Huo Dongcheng frowned slightly. Did the old man faint from anger?

He is so angry that he can't even withstand this little power.

He paused for a moment, then heard a faint female voice coming from the receiver, "Hello, Doctor Zhou? Mr. Huo has suddenly fainted. Could you please come quickly... Room 8, Block C, Lake Garden Villa, please hurry."

No. 8, Zone C, Lake Garden Villa?

Huo Dongcheng raised his eyebrows. Isn’t this the place where the old man keeps his mistress?

That voice in the microphone, is that his cheap stepmother?

Huo Dongcheng hung up the phone and took a look at Mason's room.

The little guy was huddled in the corner of the bed, holding his schoolbag. When he heard the noise at the door, his shoulders shrank.

Huo Dongcheng closed the door again.

Mason: “…”

A few minutes later, Huo Dongcheng came in with a tray containing a glass of milk, a glass of freshly squeezed juice, a glass of purified water, a sandwich, a waffle, two slices of toast, and a boiled egg.

Mason looked at the food on it, smelled the aroma of baking bread, and swallowed involuntarily.

Huo Dongcheng said, "I'm going out for a while. I'll put the food here for you. Eat some if you're hungry, and take a nap if you're sleepy. Aunt Mia is in the bedroom across from you. If you need anything, come find her."

Mia is the English housekeeper he hired specifically for Mason.

Mason looked at him and blinked.

Huo Dongcheng put the tray on the table and went out.

Mason had just arrived and was too timid and cautious to go out. The room had an independent bathroom, food and water, which were enough for him to move freely in the room.

Afterwards, the driver took Huo Dongcheng to the Lake Garden Villa.

After registering and entering, the driver parked the car in front of Gate 8 of Area C.

There was another car parked at the door. Huo Dongcheng looked at the license plate number and saw it was Dr. Zhou's.

The gate of the villa was open, and he walked in unimpeded. He walked up the steps and happened to meet Dr. Zhou coming out with a young woman by his side.

Then the young woman said, "...Fortunately, Dr. Zhou arrived in time. Thank you so much..."

He stopped talking mid-sentence.

When the woman saw Huo Dongcheng, she was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know how a strange man came into her house.

"Mr. Huo," Doctor Zhou greeted Huo Dongcheng with a smile, "Are you here to see Mr. Huo? Mr. Huo is out of danger."

"Doctor Zhou, thank you for your concern for my father's health."

"This is what I should do. Mr. Huo is really filial. He rushed here as soon as Mr. Huo got into trouble."

Huo Dongcheng smiled and said, "...Since my dad is fine, you can go back first. I'll go up to see him."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first then."

"Goodbye, Dr. Zhou," said the young woman.

"Miss Xue, there's no need to see me off."

After the woman watched Dr. Zhou leave, she turned around and saw Huo Dongcheng had already walked into the living room.

She followed him, and Huo Dongcheng's eyes fell on her, his gaze like a hawk, looking her up and down.

The gaze was too sharp and explicit. Xue Jun lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Mr. Huo is here to visit Mr. Huo, right?"

"Which room is he in?" Huo Dongcheng asked.

The old man is really lucky.

The girl in front of me looks very young, probably only around twenty years old.

She has fair skin, a small face, and upturned eyes, which makes her very attractive at first glance.

"Upstairs, Mr. Huo, please follow me." Xue Jun took the lead and walked up the stairs.

Huo Dongcheng glanced at her back.

You can tell at a glance that her clothes are carefully matched, fashionable and trendy, and they show off her curvy figure.

I heard that, like Lin Jiamin, she was a hostess.

The old man's taste hasn't changed over the years.

In the bedroom, Huo Junshan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, still unconscious.

On the bedside table, there was half a glass of water, some medicine, and the old man's cell phone.

Huo Dongcheng glanced at the old man and asked, "Did Doctor Zhou tell me when he will wake up?"

"In about half an hour, I'll get you a glass of water..."

"No, I'll be leaving soon."

"……All right."

Xue Jun was just hesitating whether to withdraw and give time and space to the father and son when he heard Huo Dongcheng ask, "Do you have housekeeping here?"

“…We have part-time workers.”

"It seems that he is not suitable to stay here to recuperate. I will send someone to pick him up later."

Huo Dongcheng didn't expect the young woman in front of him to be able to take good care of the old man.

"Well... I can hire a caregiver." Xue Jun said tentatively.

He first asked if there was a housekeeper, and did not directly suggest taking the person away, so there should still be room for maneuver.

Huo Dongcheng glanced at her and sneered, "It's up to you. Tell me when you find it. I'm leaving first."

He had forgotten that the old man had finally come here, so of course she had to seize the opportunity and let him stay for a few more days.

I just don’t know if Lin Jiamin knows about this.

Xue Jun pretended not to understand Huo Dongcheng's expression and said, "Okay."

Huo Dongcheng took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. "Do you know how the old man fell into a coma?"

“…”

Meeting Huo Dongcheng's eyes, Xue Jun moved his lips and said, "I don't know. When I arrived, Mr. Huo had already collapsed."

"Well," Huo Dongcheng nodded, quite sensible, "I'll find the nurse and bring it over later."

"...Then thank you, Mr. Huo."

Huo Dongcheng walked straight away.

Xue Jun looked at his back and curled his lips.

Why are you pretending to be a filial son?

Wasn’t the old man so angry at him that he fainted?

Back in the car, Huo Dongcheng made a phone call and asked his assistant to find a reliable nurse to send him over immediately.

The assistant responded, "Mr. Huo, is there anything else?"

"In two days, tell your wife this address."

Lin Jiamin has been restless recently, so it's a good opportunity to find something for her to do so that she doesn't have to instigate Donglin.

"yes."

Putting down his phone, Huo Dongcheng told the driver to go back.

After arriving home, he went to Mason's room first, knocked on the door twice, and pushed it open. "Mason, I'm coming in."

Little Mason was still curled up in the corner of the bed, but it was obvious that someone had moved the things on the tray.

Two slices of toast, poached eggs, waffles, all gone, half a sandwich left, milk and fresh squeezed juice also gone.

Huo Dongcheng raised his eyebrows, walked in slowly, and sat down beside the bed. "You've eaten so much, is your stomach feeling better?"

He didn't know what Mason liked to eat, so he sent in so many things with the intention of letting him choose for himself.

Little Mason hesitated and nodded slightly.

It was the first time for him to eat so many delicious foods. Even though he was very full, he still kept stuffing them into his mouth.

In the past, he could only get two slices of dry bread and water in the morning.

"I'll get you some medicine. Don't take it like this next time."
