Chapter 223, Sisters
Walking through the corridors hung with lanterns of various shapes and colors, and pushing aside the dew-covered banana leaves, one comes into view of an ancient-style attic, which is where Huo Sichan is temporarily staying.
Huo Lingge pushed the wheelchair to the door. Someone had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw them approaching, he sneered slightly and showed no intention of coming forward to lend a hand.
Huo Lingge stopped when she heard the voice and hesitated: "Is it my sister?"
At night, her eyesight was poor and she couldn't see clearly.
There was a hint of caution in his tone when he asked the question, as if he was afraid of making the person unhappy.
That tone again, huh, it sounded like she was bullying her.
Huo Lingyin crossed her arms and looked down at the two of them.
"You've just come back so late. If someone didn't know you, they would think you went to the city gate to welcome me."
The tone was sarcastic, and one could faintly hear dissatisfaction.
Huo Sichan coughed and replied good-naturedly, "I was planning to pick you up, but something unexpected happened on the way out. When I got to the city gate, you were no longer there."
Huo Lingyin sneered: "This accident happened at a very good time."
She glanced at the girl behind Huo Sichan and sneered: "You will only encounter an accident when you pick me up."
She walked down the stairs and passed the two men straight past without even a spare glance.
When the footsteps faded away, Huo Sichan suddenly burst into a cough. He bent down slightly, curled up his body, and coughed until he was hoarse.
"Brother!" Huo Lingge was startled. He quickly patted his back and tightened his clothes for him. He asked anxiously, "What are you doing..."
The moment my fingers touched his clothes, my fingertips were stained with warm moisture.
"What is this?" She withdrew her hand, sniffed it, and blurted out, "Are you hurt?!"
"Shh..." After finally stopping his cough, Huo Sichan weakly grabbed the girl's hand and whispered, "Be quiet, don't let Lingyin hear."
His chest heaved violently, he gasped twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Push me in first."
"Okay." Huo Lingge didn't say much, and skillfully walked around the stairs and pushed him into the small building.
As soon as I entered the hall, someone came out and stopped behind the door curtain.
Seeing the blood on his clothes, the man frowned and asked: "Is the wound broken open?"
Huo Sichan hummed, helplessly saying, "I'm going to trouble you again."
"I knew it would cause trouble, but I wasn't more careful." The man lifted the hanging curtain and walked from the inner room into the light, "Let me take a look."
He was wearing a dark robe, as light as ink. The moment he was caught in the light, his soft eyebrows and eyes were stained with a bright color, as if he was a banished immortal who had walked through the changes of time and remained untouched by the world.
"Ahem...thank you."
Helping Huo Sichan back to the room, the man was very skilled in treating the wound. He didn't even frown when he saw the bloody wound.
"If you cough like that, I'm afraid the wound will need to be stitched up again."
"No problem." Huo Sichan's face was paler than the falling frost mist, and he gasped as he spoke. "As long as we can hold on for this period of time, it will be fine."
The young man carefully bandaged him and sneered, "If you keep hiding your illness and avoiding medical treatment, you might die tomorrow."
Huo Lingge brought over a basin of hot water. Hearing this, she subconsciously stopped and hesitated whether to go forward.
The doctor heard footsteps and turned around to take the basin from her hand. "You are the daughter of the Huo family. You don't need to do this kind of thing."
Huo Lingge smiled softly: "It's okay, originally... I can't help much."
Not wanting to continue listening to the doctor scolding his brother, Huo Lingge changed the subject: "Mr. Tu Su, is there any hope for Miss Luo's leg?"
The young man washed the blood off his hands in a basin and said angrily, "It's been too long. There's no way he can be saved. Don't come to me with patients like this in the future. It's a waste of my time."
What a grumpy doctor! He's nothing like the saying, "A doctor should be like a caring parent."
Huo Sichan was originally drowsy, but after the young man's angry roar, he forced his eyes open and muttered, "Listen to the song."
"I'm here." Huo Lingge walked to his wheelchair, squatted down, and gently held his hand. "I'm here."
Huo Sichan whispered, "Send me back to my room."
The girl obeyed, thanked the young man, and pushed Huo Sichan back to the room.
By the time she settled Huo Sichan down, it was already early morning when she came out.
The young man was waiting in the living room, teasing the parrot hanging on the window.
"Mr. Tu Su, you haven't gone back yet?"
The young man got straight to the point: "What's wrong with Huo Sichan today?"
"What?"
"His injuries, and the group of people who came to the base last night."
“…”
"Didn't Huo Lingyin come back? Why didn't he tell Huo Lingyin about his injury?"
"That won't do." Huo Lingge frowned and said softly, "Tell my sister, and I'll kill those people."
"Sure enough, it's those old immortals again."
The Huo family is a wealthy and powerful family with complicated internal relationships. Now that the head of the family, Huo Sichan, is seriously ill, a group of relatives who rely on their seniority and age are thinking of seizing power and usurping the throne.
Huo Lingge sighed: "Brother said that now that the base has just stabilized, it's not the right time yet."
Moreover, among the five special ability teams, two of them are controlled by those people. Once a dispute arises, it will be the ordinary people in the base who will suffer.
"That guy is just too cautious." The young man sneered, "If you really say this, I admire Huo Lingyin."
When facing the enemy, we must kill them decisively and never drag our feet.
"Perhaps Huo Lingyin is more suitable for the position of the head of the family."
Huo Lingge pursed her lips. Although she felt that what he said made sense, she couldn't help but argue on her brother's behalf: "Big brother is just too kind."
"hehe."
The tone was really unfriendly. Huo Lingge was always a little afraid of this brother's friend, so he didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing the girl biting her lips in dissatisfaction but not daring to refute, the man felt a little pang of conscience.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you about this. You should go to bed early."
"I'll cook for you tomorrow, Mr. Tu Su." She hesitated and invited, "Will you come here for lunch tomorrow?"
The man waved his hand: "No, I don't like eating with others."
He walked to the door and remembered something: "I heard that Huo Lingyin was injured. If you are free tomorrow, go see her."
"Ah." Huo Lingge nodded quickly, "I'll go early tomorrow morning."
So, the next morning, Huo Lingge went to Huo Lingyin's residence with the soup he had prepared earlier.
The woman was having a morning meeting with the key members of the team, and when she saw her, her face was very sour.
"What are you doing here?"
Being stared at coldly by her, she suppressed her fear and said, "I heard that you were injured, sister. I made some hot pot this morning and brought it to you."
As he said this, he tried to take the soup bowl out of the small basket, but accidentally knocked the bowl to the ground.
Huo Lingyin: “…”
Huo Lingge quickly squatted down to pick it up, but accidentally scratched his hand with the broken porcelain pieces.
Huo Lingyin: “…”
This isn't her sister, this is her ancestor! Can't she see that she really dislikes her? What is she doing here so early in the morning? Acting aggrieved and pitiful?
Hey! And you guys, why are you staring at me like I'm a traitor?!
