Chapter 45 Brother Death, this person must like you very much...

“Bang, bang—”

Mrs. Huo was lying on a light blue emergency bed. The doctor was holding a defibrillator and performing emergency rescue measures on her.

“Bang, bang—”

The noise sounded terrifying, like the sound of a gun being stretched out and then put into an airtight bag. It was muffled and vibrating, making people uneasy.

In the emergency room, the Omega closed his eyes, his face was pale, and one or two drops of cold sweat from exhaustion seemed to slide down his forehead.

It looks like Mrs. Huo's condition is not good.

"Another shot of adrenaline."

The doctor wore blue gloves and a mask that hid the expression on his face, but it couldn't hide the other person's nervousness.

The doctors and nurses who can serve Mrs. Huo are all top experts, and they have already received orders to do their utmost to save the Omega's life.

For emergency doctors, their job is to pull every patient back from the brink of death, which is undoubtedly a race against death.

"Director, the patient's heart has stopped beating."

"continue."

Admiral Huo and Colonel Huo received the news almost at the same time. Since the No. 2 planet was much closer to the capital planet, Huo Yubai naturally rushed to the hospital earlier.

Colonel Huo didn't have time to see Ji He off. The other party was as obedient and understanding as ever, which he felt was not a good habit.

A sharp-cut face was reflected on the glass door, with clear and sharp features and thin lips slightly pursed. The eyes were looking through the glass at the doctors trying to save my grandmother.

Alpha was wearing a military uniform that he hadn't had time to change out of. The upright gray-green color made him stand out among the crowd.

This scene made Huo Yubai involuntarily think of his own mother, who had also been lying on a light blue emergency bed like that.

"Brother, will grandma..."

Huo Lingyue was sitting in a wheelchair, with a robot butler following behind her. While talking, she reached out and pulled Huo Yubai's sleeve.

The man lowered his eyes and half squatted down. He couldn't answer his sister's question and silently touched the back of Huo Lingyue's head.

His fingers gently brushed over the smooth and shiny hair, then he slowly retracted his hand.

"Are you scared?"

Huo Lingyue nodded. She was the first person to discover her grandmother collapsed on the ground. Having experienced a plane crash, she couldn't help but feel scared.

She raised her eyes to look at her brother, placed the Alpha's hand on her knee, and said softly: "Brother is back, Lingyue will not be afraid anymore."

The indicator light at the door of the emergency room clicked, and the red "First Aid in Progress" turned into the green "Rest in Progress", and the director personally pushed Mrs. Huo out.

"Director, my grandmother..."

The doctor gently took off his white mask and said, "The patient had a sudden stroke. He has been saved and needs to stay in the observation ward for a while."

"Thank you, doctor."

Huo Yubai and Huo Lingyue both couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; death did not take their grandmother away at this moment.

By the time Admiral Huo arrived, my grandmother had been in the observation ward for a while without opening her eyes.

Huo Lingyue stayed aside obediently, reading a thick hardcover book without saying a word.

The other side of the door.

Admiral Huo glanced at his wife on the hospital bed through the glass, his eyes full of worry and concern.

Even though Alpha and Omega are in a marriage, they have been together for so many years that she still has family ties to them.

"Grandfather, now that grandma is out of danger, I will return to the federal military first. You..."

Huo Yingzhan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The Glorious Legion still has something to do, so you should stay in the Capital Planet to accompany them."

"yes."

When Old Madam Huo opened her eyes, Huo Lingyue and Huo Yubai were standing on her left and right, both looking at her.

The Omega opened his mouth but seemed unable to speak, tears falling first.

"Grandma, the doctor said that your language system may have been affected this time and it will take time to recover. Do you want to rush..."

Old Madam Huo first took Huo Lingyue's hand, then took Huo Yubai who was talking, put their hands together, and pressed them hard.

That look seemed to be saying: Children, take care of yourself.

Although they were called caregivers, in fact all the work was done by robots and hired care workers, so Huo Lingyue and Huo Yubai could not help much.

Colonel Huo sat on the soft chair with his long legs crossed, and reached into his pocket to take out a silver lighter.

Smoking is not allowed in the observation ward, and Alpha didn't have a smoking addiction, he just felt a little inexplicably anxious.

This kind of anxiety is different from all the previous ones. Ever since Ji He was not by his side, Colonel Huo always felt that something was wrong.

Alpha subconsciously touched the lighter, his fingers running over the intricate pattern, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Huo Yubai vaguely realized that he seemed unable to bear Ji He being too far away from him.

"bite--"

With a crisp sound, orange-red flames burst out, illuminating the Alpha's black eyes. Those eyes were surging with emotions that Huo Lingyue could not quite understand.

"Brother, you can't smoke here." Huo Lingyue pulled the blanket that had slipped off and spoke out.

Huo Yubai spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't have any."

"I don't have any cigarettes on me."

"oh."

"You've been looking at that lighter and playing with it for quite a while. I thought you were craving a cigarette."

Innocent Colonel Huo: ...

Alpha is not addicted to smoking, he feels like he is addicted to people.

The electric wheelchair moves slowly and makes almost no sound on the self-leveling floor.

Huo Lingyue came to her brother's side, as if wanting to take a look at the lighter.

Huo Yubai stepped back and said, "Children should not touch fire."

Huo Lingyue wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "My brother always treats me like a child."

As she spoke, Huo Lingyue reached out for the lighter again, and this time Huo Yubai let her do what she wanted.

She recognized this brand because her brother only used lighters from this brand.

"It seems different from the original one. Did you buy a new one?"

Colonel Huo thought for a moment and replied, "I didn't buy it."

Huo Lingyue threw the lighter upwards, then caught it steadily and asked, "Was that a gift from someone else?"

"Is it Brother Chao Wen?"

"no."

"Is that Brother Minran?"

Huo Lingyue blinked and heard the other party say, "Not really."

She put the lighter in her palm and saw the special pattern on it. Suddenly she remembered the Valentine's Day event of this brand and asked, "Brother, did the person who gave you this say anything?"

Huo Yubai thought about it and thought that Ji He didn't say anything. He replied, "No."

"Does the pattern on it look like a cypress leaf?"

Colonel Huo then noticed the pattern. He thought it was a new model of the brand, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be cypress leaves.

"Brother, does the person who gave you this like you?"

Huo Lingyue held up her soft face, spoke in a sweet voice, and her eyes were flashing with the same gossipy light as Gu Chaowen's.

Huo Yubai frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Huo Lingyue moved the electric wheelchair forward a step, turned on the computer, found the Valentine's Day event poster of a high-end luxury brand, and handed it to her brother to see.

"Look."

"This is their Valentine's Day event this year. You have to register in advance to customize the pattern."

"Valentine's Day?"

"right."

Huo Yubai lowered his head and re-examined the silver lighter. The cypress leaf pattern on it became vivid in his eyes.

This lighter was not bought casually, but was customized by Ji He specifically for himself.

Seeing this, Huo Lingyue picked up the computer and scanned the pattern on the lighter with interest. After coming to a conclusion, he said, "It doesn't seem to be a ready-made picture. It must have been specially drawn."

"It must be because my brother's name contains the word cypress, and his pheromones smell like cypress, so he drew it."

Huo Yubai's cheeks flushed slightly, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

"Brother, this person must like you very much."

Huo Lingyue became more and more excited as he spoke, his whole head shaking as if he had discovered a new continent.

Huo Yubai leaned over, took away Huo Lingyue's laptop, and switched back to the page of the brand event poster, where the registration time was written, which was long before he discovered that Ji He liked him.

"Children know what love is."

"Why don't I understand?"

Ji He is always like this, doing more than he says, and even hiding, waiting for Huo Yubai to discover.

Alpha held the silver lighter tightly, as if he could feel the other's strong love hidden within his cold shell, just like a hot flame hiding in cold metal.

Huo Lingyue, who was eating a plate, moved her legs, pinched the blanket on her knees, curled her lips and said, "You've never eaten pork before, but you've seen a pig run."

Huo Yubai glanced at his sister indifferently.

Huo Lingyue realized that she had said something wrong, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't say you were a pig."

"Brother, who is this person?"

Huo Yubai didn't hear his sister's question. His mind was full of Ji He and he just wanted to see him.

He sent a message to Ji He, edited a lot of text, and finally left only the words asking whether the other party arrived at Tong Planet safely.

A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. He hoped that his bird could stay on the branch forever and never leave.

As she was talking, Mrs. Huo's surveillance equipment suddenly beeped a few times, and a group of doctors and nurses gathered around.

"Keep watching."

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Normally, Ji He would reply to his message on the same day.

But Colonel Huo waited until late at night without receiving any response.

A piece of news about an interstellar spaceship heading to Mars encountering interstellar pirates popped up in Huo Lingyue's brain.

Omega has never left the capital planet since he experienced a plane crash when he was a child. When he saw the report, he couldn't help but think of what happened in the past and his face didn't look good.

"Brother, I'm going to rest first."

"Um."

After washing up, Huo Yubai lay on the bed, and suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Then he received a message from the Federal Military Department.

It reads: Sergeant Ji He, unfortunately died on the way to Mars, and was posthumously awarded the title of third-class martyr.

Ji He?

How could it be Ji He?

Didn’t he go back to Tong Planet for a family visit?

Huo Yubai was stunned, the expression on his face collapsed in silence. With trembling fingers, he clicked on the shortest message and read it word by word.
