Chapter 12 Unexpected



Lin Ruanruan's words touched Mr. Huo, and he took the breakfast she gave him. Mr. Huo's assistant, who was standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief. He had also bought breakfast, but the family hadn't been in the mood to eat since last night, and he was worried that something might happen to them.

Lin Ruanruan quietly moved next to her assistant, "How is Aunt Yan?"

The assistant bent down and whispered, "He was admitted to the ICU last night and just came out this morning. We're checking on his recovery today."

Lin Ruanruan nodded, relieved. Being released from the ICU meant the problem shouldn't be too serious.

She quietly moved next to Huo Xian and fed her small fried dumplings one by one. Huo Xian was still sobbing a little, and Lin Ruanruan was afraid that she would choke, so she patted her back while feeding her.

The two little girls here are quite affectionate.

Seeing his daughter's distressed expression, Mr. Huo knew he had frightened her. He glanced at his son, who was mechanically chewing his breakfast, and sighed.

"Qi, why don't you take A-Xian and Ruan-Ruan to rest next door? I'll stay here."

Huo Qi pursed his lips and said, "Let me do it, you rest first."

"Listen to me, we'll talk about it when your mother wakes up."

Huo Qi then stood up, looked at Huo Xian and Lin Ruanruan, and forced a dry smile. "Come with me."

Lin Ruanruan then noticed that Huo Qi's other cheek was swollen. Noticing Lin Ruanruan's gaze, Huo Qi turned his face away and took the two girls to the next room.

Next door were two single beds, one for Huo Qi and one for Huo Xian.

Lin Ruanruan diligently made up the quilts for the two of them, saying, "Just take off your shoes and lie down. You must be tired after not sleeping all night."

"Ruanruan, thank you," Huo Xian said with red eyes. Yesterday had terrified her; first, her mother had a heart attack, and then her father beat her brother at the hospital entrance.

Her brother didn't fight back at all, and she was afraid that her father would beat him badly. "Brother, are you okay?"

Huo Qi patted the little girl's head. "Your brother is tough. It's alright. It was my fault."

It was his carelessness that upset his mother.

Lin Ruanruan noticed that Huo Qilu's hands still had scratches, and pursed her lips.

Lin Ruanruan told Huo Xian to go to sleep first, and seeing Huo Qi still sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, she also pressed him down on the bed, "Get some sleep first, otherwise what will Aunt Yan do if she sees you both looking sickly when she wakes up?"

Seeing that the two were obedient, Lin Ruanruan nodded. After encouraging herself, she finally mustered up the courage to approach the nurse. For someone with social anxiety, finding someone to talk to is something that requires a lot of encouragement.

Huo Qi woke up not long after falling asleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Ruanruan looking at him with a conflicted expression. He couldn't help but smile gently, "What's wrong? Did you get carried away because your brother is too handsome?"

Lin Ruanruan was startled by Huo Qi's sudden outburst, but seeing that he could still joke, she knew he had recovered quite a bit, so she wasn't annoyed.

She leaned close to Huo Qi's ear and whispered, "I got you some medicine, I can help you apply it~"

Actually, she had wanted to disinfect Huo Qi's abrasions first, but she was afraid of waking him up and getting him infected, so she hesitated for a long time.

Huo Qi felt a warmth in his heart, and he reached out to pinch her little upturned nose. "I can do it myself."

He took the medicine Lin Ruanruan brought into the bathroom. After all, Ruanruan was a girl, and it wasn't appropriate to take off his clothes in front of her.

When he entered the bathroom and looked in the mirror, he realized that his left cheek was swollen quite a bit. His usually handsome face now looked particularly comical, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was shamelessly teasing that young girl.
