Hearing Grandma Huo coughing outside the door, Mrs. Huo couldn't help but think to herself, "My mother-in-law's acting skills have improved again!"

Ignoring his mother and Ye Fanxing, Huo Dongfang strode into his grandmother's bedroom, his eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Grandma..."

Grandma Huo weakly raised her hand, "Grandma's dear grandson is back."

Huo Dongfang quickly stepped forward and held Grandma Huo's hand tightly.

"Grandma, how did you get so sick?"

Mrs. Huo said angrily, "It's all because of that Lu Xiangrong that Grandma got sick!"

"Mom, why did Lu Xiangrong make Grandma sick?" Huo Dongfang was very puzzled. Wasn't Lu Xiangrong in Shanghai? "What exactly did she say to Grandma?"

Mrs. Huo pulled Ye Fanxing to sit down on a chair, and she exchanged a glance with Grandma Huo without making a sound.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began their performance with perfect coordination.

"Lu Xiangrong came to us and said she was willing to marry you."

"Of course your grandmother and I would never agree to that. She left so decisively back then, without showing any mercy. How could she possibly want to rekindle our relationship now?"

"But guess what? She said she's pregnant, and if we agree to the marriage, you can get a child for free! Can you believe what she's saying?"

Grandma Huo held Huo Dongfang's hand tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Dongfang, you have to promise Grandma that you will never marry Lu Xiangrong in this lifetime."

Mother Huo immediately added, "Mom, he wouldn't dare! If he dares to marry Lu Xiangrong, I'll break his legs!"

"Cough cough cough..." Grandma Huo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed forcefully.

Huo Dongfang stepped forward and gently patted Grandma Huo's back.

"grandmother."

Huo's mother pushed Huo Dongfang aside, blocking his view with her body, and quickly exchanged handkerchiefs with him.

"Xingxing, could you please stay with Grandma?"

Huo's mother pulled Huo Dongfang to the washbasin stand, and she threw the handkerchief into the basin. The clear water in the basin was instantly stained red with blood.

Huo Dongfang stared in shock at the blood in the basin, his voice trembling as he asked, "Mom, Grandma, she..."

As she washed the handkerchiefs, Mrs. Huo choked back tears, saying, "Dongfang, your personal life has always been a worry for Grandma. She told me yesterday that if you had a family, she could die in peace..."
